The Valley Fifth Wheel Hitch Rail and Install Kit, # V70550, is a universal installation kit that will work with your 2009 Dodge 2500 Ram Diesel 4X4. The universal kits do require more installation time than a custom install kit, because there is more measuring involved and more drilling. It is designed as universal, so it has to meet a wide range of fitments.

I would recommend the Curt Custom Installation Kit with Rails and Brackets, # C16420-204, which is a custom installation kit that is designed for your 2009 Dodge 2500 Ram Diesel 4X4. The custom install kits install in half the time of the universal kit and uses holes already in the frame, so the amount of drilling, is less also. It also uses vehicle specific brackets that will cut down on install time.

I am sending a link to the installation instructions on the Custom Install Kit, # C16420-204.
