For your 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 with a short bed let's first start with a fifth wheel installation kit.
For that you would want the Reese Custom installation kit part # RP50142-58. This is a custom install kit that will install in about half the time as a universal kit and will minimize drilling.
Now for a sliding hitch I would recommend the Reese Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch part # RP30075. This has a round tube slider which operates smoother than a square tube, has a cushioned head and a jaw system that will provide 360 degree contact between the hitch and the king pin. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
