While there isn't a fifth wheel hitch with a 40,000 lb to 50,000 lb capacity there is something close. I highly recommend the Reese Low-Profile 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30054 which has a 30,000 lb capacity - this is the largest capacity fifth wheel hitch for your 2018 Ram 5500 cab and chassis.
This hitch is the best for your '18 Ram 5500 because of its superior capacity, the fact that it will mount directly to the frame of your truck, and its 2-piece jaw which ensures an extremely secure connection to your king pin.
I have attached a link to the instructions as well as a link to a video review of this hitch for you to take a look at.
