I installed them on my 99 Ram 2500 many years ago and I remember it was a pita. There was already a hole in the proper place underneath the rubber on the mount, but it wasn’t quite big enough. I remember I first jacked the truck up some by the trailer hitch to stretch out the rear suspension and provide some clearance to work.
The rubber on mine was molded to and almost like it glued itself to the mounts, so I left it on.
I used a power drill to probe for the pre drilled hole, it’s in the right place. If you place Stable Load on the mount it’s pretty easy to see where it has to go. I had an extra long drill bit in the right size and that helped a lot, but I still seem to remember loosening up one of the mounts to get a good angle on it.
I really do like the way they worked once on the truck, and they did help prevent sway also. I already had air bags but I only run a little air in them now to level the truck side to side.
