First, B and W gooseneck hitch #BWGNRC800 is just the hitch. You will also need an installation kit that fits your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500. For the installation kit and the hitch together use #BWGNRK1394. When we install gooseneck trailer hitches here…

According to Curt, the installation rails included with the #C61509-52 Gooseneck Hitch will fit 1500, 2500 and 3500 series models of the 1996 Dodge Ram truck, unless it's a cab/chassis truck instead of a pickup. If you'd like to…
