I have an option for you, but there is not a custom fit Gooseneck Hitch that is confirmed to fit your 2015 Ram 5500.

I recommend using the Curt Gooseneck Flat Plate # C65500. This plate is universal and it's normally placed on top of the flat bed, above the rear axle. You'll need to drill holes through the plate, truck bed and into the truck frame. The manufacturer recommends using (grade 5) 1/2 inch hardware to install the plate.

Note that underbed reinforcement is required to reach the maximum GTW rating of 30K lbs. This will need to be fabricated to fit your truck by a fabrication shop that is certified to make sure that the hitch is structurally sound and safe to use.
