I will be happy to help. There are several different possible Reese 5th wheel installation kits for your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500.

You could have the semi-custom kit # RP30035-023. I have included a link to the installation instructions and the supplemental instructions to the right.

You might also have custom kit # RP50040-58. I have linked these instructions as well. This kit does not fit Mega Cab models.

If you do have a Mega Cab and it is a custom installation kit then it is likely Reese kit # RP50140-58. I have linked the instructions and a video for this kit. If none of these kits look correct let me know and email me some pictures if you can and I might be able to identify it.
