Expert Reply:
For a 2014 Ram 3500 dually the correct 5th wheel tailgate is # VGD-10-4000. You should not have to drill, cut, or otherwise modify the truck to install the tailgate.
For this tailgate the worse case scenario is that either the latches or the striker pins on the truck will have to adjusted slightly. But this does not require any drilling or cutting.
