Since your 2019 Ram 2500 has Ram Boxes the only option to tow a 5th wheel trailer is going to be to use a fixed hitch like the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # RP30047 and a rotating pin box. The rotating pin box moves the pivot point above the bed sides of your truck. Just using a slider will not work for you because when you make a turn your pin box will bash into the sides of the ram boxes. Not just backing. I mean when you are getting off the highway and take a right or left across traffic.
I would be happy to help you find a compatible rotating pin box. I would just need you to email me a picture of the sticker that is on the side of your trailer's pin box.
To install a 5th wheel hitch in your truck's bed, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck item # C16427-204.
I have linked an installation video below.
