Expert Reply:
There are custom kits and semi-custom kits that you could use in your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 to install a 5th wheel trailer hitch. The custom kits are the ones I recommend the most because they require less drilling into the truck and less time to install.
For a custom kit you can use # RP50140-58. For a semi-custom kit you can use # RP30035-186. I have linked the instructions for both kits and a video showing # RP50140-58.
