For your 2019 Ram 2500 with 8ft bed I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches Item # RP56009-53. This kit is a custom install that will require no drilling into your frame to install, which will drastically help cut down install time.
