You state that coils aren't good for towing, then in your own defense of that statement you wrote...

First of all, you aren't letting it slide, as you are commenting upon it. Second of all, your own admissions that its a "toss up" CONFIRM that your statement was ignorant.
By the way, you are ragging on the 2500 for having coil springs, which aren't on commercial trucks, yet you say nothing about the factory air suspension options on the 2500, which are on commercial trucks. You are cherry picking your argument, an example of someone who is "lacking knowledge or awareness in general", also known as ignorant.
There are lots of things on consumer pickup trucks that aren't on commercial vehicles, there are lots of things that are on commercial vehicles that aren't on consumer pickup trucks... what is your point? The OP isn't trying to buy a class 4-8 truck, he is asking about a Class 2B or class 3 truck.
Anyway, OP I'm sorry to have gotten off track. I agree that its rather annoying that the Ram Crewcabs have the cutout middle rear seat. I only have 2 kids (for the time being), so its not an issue for me (yet). I can certainly understand a child having comfort issues on longer trips without proper thigh support.
Either a slider hitch or a newer "rounded front" 5er should be fine with the shorter bed truck in the Megacab. I have several friends that tow 5ers with the 6'4" bed with no problems. Some have sliders, some don't... no problems hitting the cab with any of them.
Good luck with your decision.
