You would need the Ram rail kit adapter part # DM6099 but with this yes you can install a Demco Hijacker Autoslide like the part # DM8550034 for an 18k hitch or the part # DM8550035 for a 21k hitch.

The # DM6099 basically fits in to the OEM rail kit of your 2022 Ram 3500 short bed and provides the truck with the type of rails the Hijacker needs.
