The way to determine if you will be happy with the fit of Brophy Hitch Stair with 2 Steps # RHS2 on your Ram is to take note of the height of the top step relative to your receiver opening. The top step of this unit will be 5-1/4-inches above the top of the receiver opening on your Ram's hitch.
The three hitch pin holes allow for flexibility in how close to the vehicle the step will be positioned. I went to our warehouse to measure these holes' positions relative to the top step. The hole centers are 1/2-inch, 3-1/2-inches and 6-1/2-inches forward of the edge of the top step closest to the truck. These measurements will allow you to determine exactly where the top step will be when installed in your hitch and whether it will fit well when your tailgate is open.
Please refer to the linked photo that I prepared for you.
