Question:

Im looking to install Part# RP30035 which I purchased from you guys a while back for my 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 Longbed 8ft. Do you have the measurements for installation on my truck? Also, what Size drill bits do I need to use?

If you click the provided link, you can see the installation instructions. The instructions specific to your 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 begin on sheet 13, and measurements are shown.

The rearmost bed rail would be installed so its back edge is 32-7/16 inches forward of the rear edge of the truck bed, and the hitch itself would be used to place the front rail. When the hitch is installed, the king pin center will sit about 2 inches forward of the rear axle centerline.

You'd need a 3/16, a 17/32 and a 1 inch drill bit.
