Helpful Expert Reply:
You will use a 2-3/8-inch hole saw to create a mounting hole for the gooseneck wiring kit # 20023 which fits your 1997 Dodge Ram Pickup. An install video is linked. The linked hitch page will show you all goose neck hitch choices for your truck and these include the B&W # BWGNRK1394 turnoverball that requires a 4-inch hole in the bed.
Bed lengths are measured WITHOUT the tailgate and the above B&W hitch fits your 8-foot bed.
