Since your 2014 Ram 2500 long bed has the factory 5th wheel prep package you will need to use adapter # RP30154. This adapter will fit in the factory holes in the truck and will accept 5th wheel trailer hitches that fit in industry standard above the bed rails.

The mounting tabs on the hitch feet that mount to the rails will need to be approximately 22 inches on center front to back and either 20-1/2 or 29 inches apart on center side to side to fit the adapter. I have included these measurements in a picture and a link to the instructions for the adapter for you.
