Hello Matt, thanks for reaching out. We do have a 42" long extension for a 3" hitch, the TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension # TLE1642.
Are you sure your Ram truck has a 3" hitch receiver? I ask because as far as I am aware, new Fords would be the only trucks with a 3" hitch. Please measure the inside of your hitch receiver and double check.
If you do have a smaller hitch, the Titan Hitch Box Extension # RP45018 is a 48" extender that fits a 2-1/2" hitch.
If you receiver is a 2", there is not a 42" extension available. You would have to swap out your hitch for a TorkLift hitch like part # TLD1103-30. Then you could use the 42" extension part # TLE1542 along with the # TLM9006 reducer.
