I have a 1996 dodge 2500 2wd. I put those on a couple years ago. Actually I should say I only put them on when carrying the truck camper. To install I have to put a floor jack under the hitch and jack up the truck a few inches to have enough room between the overloads and the stops. Because of this they are always engaged, even when there is not a load in the bed. This makes for a horrible ride empty. So that's why I only use them when camping.
For the initial install, I was able to pry off the rubber pad to drill a hole in each of those. The metal portion that is attached to the frame already had a hole big enough.

After installing and with the camper loaded the truck rides pretty level. Of course I'm grossly over my GVWR and right at the top of the tires rating. We're saving for a used dually before the next big trip.
