From what I could find online it looks like your 1999 Dodge Ram 4WD Automatic can be flat towed if it is a 1500 or a 2500 and then also if it is a 3500 with a manual transfer case. You will need to verify in your owner's manual the exact procedure though for getting it ready to flat tow as I was unable to find an online version of your owner's manual.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you can let me know which model you have (1500/2500/3500) and if it is a sport or not I can make some recommendations for equipment that you can use.
I have attached link to our fitguide for your Ram which has all of the parts linked to it as well as a helpful article on flat towing that you can reference.
