Just for the record, the brackets on the frame from the pucks are installed on all RAM 2500/3500 trucks. These are two plates factory welded to the frame for each puck. I installed and drilled the four holes myself, including the in bed wiring in about 4 hours. Each puck is held in place by two high grade bolts, You lift each side on the bed a few inches, drop in the puck and secure with the two bolts. This is a VERY robust system. I used the Demco 6099 picture frame that is rated to 25K and the B&W RVK3270 manual slider. The Demco 6099 has a much better locking system vs the Reese picture frame. And you can unlock and remove the hitch as a complete unit if you want.
