Just got done installing a used Husky 15k in my 05 ram 2500. I used a new UNIVERSAL INSTALL KIT
Dodge trucks require a custom bracket kit for either 4 bolt or 10 bolt install. You can use either the DRILL or NO DRILL kit.
You can check here: Husky bracket info
The hat rail spacer keeps from crushing the hat rail when tightened down to the frame bracket. You must have all four corners attached to the frame. If not it will tear out of the floor of the truck bed.
In VA a vehicle will not pass safety inspection if:
7. Fifth wheel has any broken, missing, or damaged parts; or is not securely attached to the frame.
8. Trailer king pin is not secure, or is broken or worn so as to prevent secure fit in fifth wheel.
9. Any movement is detected at any location where any device has been placed between the body and the chassis.
