It's not necessary to remove any portion of the front bumper fascia to install the Draw-Tite front mounted receiver # 65063 on a 2010-2015 Ram 2500 or 3500, as you can see in the video I've linked for you.

The installation procedure involves removing the factory tow hooks, slipping the hitch through the slot in the bumper and replacing the factory tow hooks to their original position so the hitch is sandwiched between the tow hook and the truck's bumper structure.

For your 2007 Ram 3/4 ton, I'd recommend the Curt #C31017 which would mount to the underside of the frame members and would have the receiver tube sitting directly under the front bumper. I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite who confirms that…

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…

The factory prep package on a 2018 Ram 3500 is pretty apparent so odds are you don't have this if you are unsure. If the indentations for the four outer pucks and center gooseneck hitch ball are present but there are no actual holes in the truck…

The TorkLift SuperHitch #TLD1108 will fit your 2016 Ram 3500 and you'll be fine keeping the front tie-downs #TLD2127. However, the rear tie-downs, #TLD3109, will not work with the hitch and instead you'll want #TLR3507. I've linked our…

Answer 12

The factory prep package or pucks are not the same between Ram, GM and Ford. The spacing is all different which means you cannot use a 5th wheel hitch for Ram pucks on a GM with pucks. Take the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for example which is…
