Your 2018 Ram 2500 limits you with having the RamBox to what type of hitches will work with your 5th wheel trailer. The article that I linked below will discuss the combinations of hitches that will best work for your Ram.
I recommend using the Reese 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin # RP61422 to replace a 1621 pin box. This moves your turning point of the 5th wheel back 22" from the hitch to the pin box mounting location. With this you will be able to fully jackknife turn with your new 5th wheel camper. It requires a 5th wheel hitch that has multiple mounting points and will not fit the single point 5th wheel hitches like the Demco Hijacker or B&W Companion.
The Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928 will attach to a set of Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP56009-53 for your Ram.
Currently I am not aware of any gooseneck to 5th wheel adapter that will fit without clearance issues for your Ram with the RamBox.
