Hey David, I looked up the bed length of the 2018 Ram Mega Cab and it has a 6 foot 4 inch bed. So the Shocker Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Coupler Kit w/ Demco eZ-Latch # SHK29YR that you referenced could work for you but it does not provide any additional turning clearance that is normally needed with short bed trucks. But if the nose of your fifth wheel hitch is tapered you would be fine. If you let me know what trailer you have I can check it out and see.

Hey David, what did you find out about using the Shocker Hitch coupler kit with your Ram Mega Cab? Once you know which trailer you have, I can help confirm if the clearance will be enough. Your update could make it easier for others with short bed trucks to decide.
