The Curt A20 sliding 5th Wheel Hitch # C16541 can absolutely be used in your long bed Ram. The sliding base isn't needed for a long bed, so it is a little heavier to install but will have no other issues. If you want new base legs for an easier installation you can use the Replacement Base Legs for Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16904. This swap out will make a 93 lb difference as well as give you a more solid hitch because there won't be as many moving parts.
You may also want to consider adding a 7-way wiring harness like # C56071 to give you a connection that is clean and accessible.
