Expert Reply:
Demco has an adapter to fit their Hijacker Autoslide hitches like the part # DM8550034 you mentioned to the factory rail kit of a 2016 Ram 3500 short bed, but they do not have a direct fit hitch. The adapter is part # DM6099 which will fit and work great. I attached a review video for it.
Also, if you needed a higher capacity hitch we have the part # DM8550035 which has a 21k capacity.
