Hey Matt,
You would need the Replacement Side Plates for Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM99GV that you were already looking at to make the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM6077 compatible with your Ram's puck system. The Autoslide uses capture plates to clamp onto the pin box so you'll also want to check what style pin box you have to see if you might need to pick up different capture plates. These plates are what help force the head of the pin box to turn and slide back to give you more room to turn so they're crucial for the use of these hitches.
