Typical hitch with a Ram Box would more then likely end up with pin box mount/back of pin box hitting the Ram Box and causing damage
Sidewinder pin box with rotating turret is a good option for shortbed trucks vs sliding hitch (and for that Ram Box) due to all pivoting occurring back at pin box mount
Some have reported the 4 bolts that attach the turret coming loose and/or the 'wedge' that locks king pin in place to 5th wheel hitch loosening.
Some Locktite Blue on thread bolts will prevent that and it easily breaks loose when needed with hand tools

Then again.......not many options with that Ram Box
