Expert Reply:
Yes, you can use the sliding B&W Companion, part # BWRVK3400, in your 8 foot bed Ram. You won't need to slide it back.
The only downside is the slider is heavier than the fixed hitch. If you want you can convert it to the standard Companion by replacing the base with part # BWRVB3500. Or if you have the puck system then use part # BWRVB3600.
