Can A Fifth Wheel Hitch Be Installed on a 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 by a Do-It-Yourselfer
Question:
Im pretty mechanically inclined but not an expert by any means. I own a 2004 Dodge 3500 SLX Dually and would like to put a 5th wheel hitch on it. Is this something best left to an expert or it it something that most guys can accomplish safely and feel confident that it is done correctly?
