I have attached a photo of what the factory prep package for a 2014 Ram 2500 looks like. The package consists of five predrilled holes which will be used for a 5th wheel hitch or gooseneck hitch ball. If you do have the factory prep package then the Reese OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package part # RP30918 is exactly what you need. This hitch has a single-piece forged jaw, extra wide funnel, and pivoting head. The best feature of this hitch however is that it can be adjusted to give you up to 18-1/2" of height which will be needed to clear the RamBox you have.
If you have a different setup in your truck bed then please let me know what that is and I would be happy to let you know what your options are. I have also attached a help article that you will want to look at as well.
