I think your plan should make your new tailgate basically theft-proof. The Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock # PAL3300 that you referenced is confirmed to fit the tailgate of your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and honestly any qualified mechanic should have no problem installing it. This will put a lock on your tailgate handle. To see what it would look like check out the picture I attached.
