Since you have the universal brackets you will need to drill into the frame of your truck. I've attached the installation details for the Husky universal brackets # HT31563 for you. On page 7, it states to use the adapter kit # HT30665 for Dodge 1500 2009-2014.
I've also attached an install video on a 2006 Dodge. The bracket kit is not the same because we used a custom kit, but some of the measurements will be, so the video might be helpful to you.
