I may have another option for you, but the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 31604 you were looking at only fits select 1994-2002 Dodge Ram Trucks so it will not fit your vehicle.

Instead we have the Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch # 65046 which is a confirmed fit for your 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD, but you will need to see where your Fisher Minute Mount 2 Plow mounts to the frame to see if these parts will interfere or not. The # 65046 installs with one tab on the outside and two bolts on the bottom as you can see in the included diagram.

I included a link to the written instructions of the # 65046 for you to take a look at.
