Unlike other hitch extensions the Torklift Hitch Extension part # TLE1548 that you referenced does not have a set percentage for the capacity lost when used in a hitch. Instead it has a set number capacity it would have when used with the higher rated Torklift hitches.

Weight capacity when used with SuperHitch Original or Magnum:
Maximum gross trailer weight: 6,000 lbs
Maximum GTW when used with weight distribution: 12,000 lbs
Maximum tongue weight: 600 lbs
Maximum TW when used with weight distribution: 1,200 lbs

Weight capacity when used with SuperHitch Hero:
Maximum gross trailer weight: 2,000 lbs
Maximum GTW when used with weight distribution: 3,500 lbs
Maximum tongue weight: 200 lbs
Maximum TW when used with weight distribution: 350 lbs

The current Torklift tie down part #TLD3101 that you have installed on your 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 only fits if you have the factory hitch. If you go with the SuperHitch part #TLD1100 you would need to change your rear tie down to the part #TLR3503.
