I would recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, 22,000 lbs, item # RP30033, for a high weight capacity fifth-wheel hitch that can accept a gooseneck hitch like the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails, item # 16085.

Along with this kit you would need the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit, item # RP30035, and fifth wheel wiring for the bed of your pickup like the Draw-Tite Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness with 7-Pole - Dodge with Factory Tow Package, item # 20111, if your truck has the factory tow package.

If you would like to install a Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch the Draw-Tite Gooseneck for the Dodge Ram Pickup, 1994, item # 9460-39, this would be an excellent choice, with 30,000 pounds weight capacity, and you would then be able to use the Hi-Rise Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch, item # 9480 with this hitch. The # 9480 hitch has 18,000 pounds capacity. This option will allow full use of the truck bed when not towing.

I have linked an installation video of a similar Hide-A-Goose installation for you to review below.
