For your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 I recommend starting with the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 52289-1 which is a custom fit for your truck. With that base plate, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 along with the safety cables # RM-643.

Then for your wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 and the charge line kit # RM-156-25. You will also need the relay kit # RM-88400.

For your supplemental braking system I recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251. This system once installed does not need adjusting and becomes a simple plug and play system that just requires you to flip a switch.

The final thing you need is a high-low adapter. I've linked the page to your options and attached an article to assist with the measurements for the correct fit.

This combination will get you safely and comfortably down the road to your adventure.
