Expert Reply:
As long as your Husky sliding 5th wheel hitch mounts to industry standard rails I recommend installing the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit # RP50140-58 which is a custom fit for your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500.
We do have Semi-Custom install kits like part # RP30035-023 but they aren't as easy to install and they sometimes require drilling into a vehicle frame. Instructions for both options have been linked for you to reference.
