Expert Answers about Ram 2500


  • Can A Grille Guard from a 2020 Ram 1500 Be Used On a 2020 Ram 2500?
  • Unfortunately since these mounting kits are not only specific to the grille guard they are also specific to the vehicle as well. That means you can't just swap the grille guard over between vehicles, you'd have to get a new grill guard and that would come with the correct mounting hardware. For instance, if you had the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate - Black Powder Coated Steel # 57-3975 then the correct mounting hardware is the Replacement Mounting Hardware Kit for Westin HDX...

  • Replacement Weight Distribution Shank to Provide Additional Drop So Trailer will be Level
  • We recommend using a weight distribution hitch whenever the trailer weight is more than 50 percent of the tow vehicle's weight of if you're experiencing sway or sagging issues.

  • 5th Wheel Mounting Bracket/Rail Kit for 2017 Ram 2500
  • We have several 5th wheel bracket/rail kits that would work for your 2017 Ram 2500 to install your Curt item # 16055 gooseneck plate adapter, but I'd recommend the Curt # C16427-204 as the least expensive alternative. The bed rails provided with the kit are industry standard, so they'd be compatible with your item # 16055 plate. If you don't have a 7-way mounted in your truck bed, you can install one using part # C56000. I'll link to install videos for the rail kit and the 7-way harness...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Install Kit for a 2017 Ram 2500 W/ A Regular Bed
  • If you're planning on using the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3400-5W then you're going to need the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1384-5W to be able to install this hitch in your 2017 Ram 2500, no pucks needed. However the only real drawback with using this hitch is that if you want4ed to use a different hitch in the future you couldn't due to the way this hitch mounts. You could still use the B&W Patriot...

  • Sliding 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch to Fit 2018 Ram with Factory Puck System
  • The only sliding fifth wheel trailer hitch we currently carry that fits directly into your 2018 Ram's puck system is the B&W Companion, part # BWRVK3670. You won't need an adatper at all. B&W is often regarded as the top of the line in fifth wheel hitches because of their strong jaw-to-kingpin contact with 1 inch thick jaws that wrap all the way around the trailer's kingpin. The slider offers up to 12 inches helping you with clearance in your short bed Ram. I've linked a demo video...

  • Moving 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Kit from a 2000 Ford F-250 to a 2012 Ram 2500 Short Bed
  • It sounds like the installation kit is the Reese universal kit # RP30035. To use it on your 2012 Ram 2500 short bed you would need to add bracket # RP58186. You will also need new hardware # 58164 since the bolts are not meant to be used more than once. You can reuse the other brackets and the rails. Installation is not all that difficult, just time consuming. To see if this is something you want to tackle yourself I have included links to the installation instructions to the right. I...

  • Part Needed to Reduce Hitch Receiver Size to 2-Inches for Pro Series WD System
  • Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ90-02-4900 fits into a 2-1/2-inch hitch like # C15801, so it is not a good choice for use with the Pro Series weight distribution system # PS49582. If you want to use this 2-inch system in a 2-1/2-inch hitch you can add a reducer sleeve # C45405 to drop the receiver opening size down to 2-inches.

  • Cable Lock Recommendation for Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers
  • Aside from the part number of the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756, the only other part number mentioned is the cable lock CAB-10.

  • How to Determine if Factory Gooseneck Trailer Hitch is Installed in a 2016 Ram 2500
  • If you have the factory gooseneck prep kit in your 2016 Ram 2500 then you'll have holes in the truck's bed that safety chain loops and hitch ball included with part # RP30140 fit into. I've attached a picture of what they look like installed and if you have the locations for them you can't miss them. If you have the factory kit then # RP30140 is all you'll need. If you don't have the factory kit then you'll need to install a gooseneck underbed trailer hitch like the Curt # C60614. This...

  • Any standard 5th wheel hitch like yours will work with industry standard above bed base rails. The Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit # RP56009-53 will work well for you. The custom installation kit will bolt to pre-existing holes the frame of your 2015 Ram 2500, and the outboard brackets will allow installation to be much easier than more traditional inboard installation brackets.

  • Chip Tuner to Improve Gas Mileage of 2012 Ram 2500 5.7L
  • I recommend the Edge EvoHT2, part # EP86040, for a chip tuner to improve your gas mileage by choosing a pre-loaded tune. The Edge Insight CTS2, part # EP84130 that you asked about, will not directly improve your gas mileage since it is not a programmer but a monitor. It can be used to help you adjust your driving style and improve your mileage since you can monitor the mpg of your truck. Then you can use the info from the monitor to develop fuel saving driving habits.

  • How to Determine If I Need Sliding Hitch with 2021 Grand Design Reflection 311bhs with 2020 Ram 2500
  • Typically with truck beds that are shorter than 8 feet a sliding hitch is going to be required in order for you to make 90 degree turns; there are some trailer designs that sometimes allow for enough clearance but I don't believe that the tapered nose on your 2021 Grand Design Reflection 311BHS falls into that category. However, if you want to take some measurements of your truck and trailer, you can put them into the formula below and determine if you're going to have enough space to make...

  • Weight Distribution Shank with More Drop to Fit a 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • I've linked our selection of weight distribution shanks for 2-1/2 inch hitch receivers. Most shanks are universal and will work with other brands of systems. As long as the holes are 3/4 inch in diameter and are spaced 1-1/4 inches apart they're interchangeable. Whether it's a shank for a 2 inch hitch or a 2-1/2 inch hitch the holes are normally the same. I've also attached an article to help you determine how much drop you need in case you don't already know.
