Expert Reply:
For your 2004 Ram 3500 and the 2012 Ram 2500, I would recommend a Custom Fifth Wheel Install Kit from Curt, part # C16420-204. This kit requires no drilling into the vehicle frame, although holes will need to be drilled in the bed for the bolts that connect the bed rails to the frame brackets. The install kit will work with both trucks, regardless of whether they're equipped with overload springs or not.
If you need the 7-way installed in the truck bed, I'd recommend the # HM42137 for your 2004 Ram, and for the 2012, part # 41157
