The only options we have for a Class V high capacity trailer hitch for your 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 are ones that are going to fit below the factory hitch.

Since the factory hitch is essentially part of the rear chassis of the truck it has to be left on. The most popular option is the Curt Hitch # C15409 which has a 2,550 lb tongue weight limit. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
