You will need the Universal Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit with Rails, item # RP30035, to install a fifth-wheel hitch in your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed. Page number 14 of the instructions (see link) shows the location and placement of the fifth wheel rails in the bed of the pickup, for your model.
Along with this installation kit you could use the 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch by Reese, item # RP30047, and the Valley Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness with 7-Pole - Dodge with Factory Tow Package, item # C56071, if your vehicle has the factory tow package wiring. If you do not have the factory tow package wiring you can use the 7-Way Pre-Wired Car Connector, 7 foot Lead, item # 20023, to hard wire a connector in the bed for the fifth-wheel.
