I have the perfect hitch and install kit for your 2018 Ram 3500 short bed. For the under bed installation kit use # DM8551006. Then for the auto-sliding hitch use Demco HiJacker 18K # DM8550022 or the 21K version, # DM8550037. I have linked videos on all three of these products for you.
Please note: Installation kit does not fit vehicles with factory Air Suspension system
I also recommend Demco 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # DM8555002 to add a 7-Way connector in the bed of the truck. This will make hooking up easier without the need of an extension.
