Hey Kevin!
In order to use an extender that long we'll need to get the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLD1108-30 installed on your 2017 Ram 3500 Dually. This then enables you to use the 42" TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension # TLE1542 which installs in both the TorkLift and your OEM receivers. There are some shorter extenders you can use with a single receiver, but for the extension you're needing you need the TorkLift setup.
Then for a weight distribution system you can't go wrong with the Equal-i-zer system like part # EQ37100ET rated for 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs loaded trailer tongue weight. If you have a different loaded tongue weight please let me know and I'll be more than happy to help you find the right system for your trailering setup.
