We have just what you need. The first thing you will want is the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # RP30154. This will install into the underbed hitch prep pucks to provide you with industry standard rails for a slider hitch to install into.
For a slider hitch with 20k capacity I would recommend the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch and Slider part # C16541. This unit has a forged self-latching jaw that wraps all the way around the king pin for maximum security and minimizes rattle.
