Sorry to hear about that issue!

I reached out to my contact at Curt and they have run into this issue before. The stud pictured is a grounding stud that is not used and is not always in the way, it seems Dodge did not put it in the exact same location on each vehicle.

He mentioned that you can cut off the stud without any issues and will then be able to mount the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13207 on your 2019 Ram ProMaster 2500 without issues.

I included a video of the # C13207 being installed for you to take a look at.

The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K would be an excellent replacement for a Tru-Ryde Hub/Drum RVD-H-545. Then for new brakes, I recommend the Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit part #AKFBBRK-35.
