Helpful Expert Reply:
I have a Curt gooseneck hitch that will work with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Springs, # F2299, on your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500, but the Curt installation kit, # C60661, will not fit on your truck. This kit was designed for 2011 and newer Ram trucks.
For your truck, I recommend looking at the Curt EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch, part # C60682, because the custom frame brackets mount on the outside of your frame, away from the frame bracket for the Firestone kit. Since this hitch uses custom brackets, there is no frame drilling required to complete the installation.
I have attached an installation video of the Firestone Ride-Rite kit for you to check out.
If you would like to add an in-bed trailer connector, Curt also offers a 5th wheel/gooseneck wiring harness, # C56071, that tees into the factory trailer connector giving you a plug at your bumper and a plug in your bed. I attached a 5th wheel/gooseneck harness installation video for you to check out as well.
