Hey Rich, thanks for the dimensions of the pucks you have in the bed of your 2008 Ram. Based on that I can tell that you have a Reese Elite rail kit which is also the exact same as the Ford OEM rail kit as odd as that may sound. So that means slider hitches that were designed to fit the Ford pucks will fit your truck like the B and W Companion Hitch part # BWRVK3370.
I really like the Companion hitches as they known to be very reliable, easy to use, and quiet.
