Hey Dave, welcome back! The only front hitch that fits the diesel models is the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch # EH37FR. Installation will require some trimming. You can see what it's like in the installation video linked further down on this page. This has a vertical load of 1,000 lbs so more than enough for your bikes and bike rack.
What kind of 5th wheel are you towing?

The front receiver kit I purchased was for a 2020 Ram 2500 6.4 engine. As advertised only a minor amount of trimming the plastic debris deflector was required. I installed the kit by myself in about 3 hours. It’s the only kit that I’ve purchased that had more hardware than I needed. I’ve carried bikes on the front of the truck for 3 years with no problems other than hitting a deer. It damaged a bike however it saved the truck. Great deer guard.

I put one of these on my ram 2500 bighorn diesel in June 2025 to haul our bikes when trailer towing. Works great, glad I made the purchase. Install tip - I had to use a breaker bar with a pipe slid over it to crack some of the truck frame bolts loose where the hitch bolts to the frame. Other than that install went decent though it did take me a little longer to install than I anticipated…But who cares, once it’s on, it’s on.

Thanks for the info! I have a 2018 Forest River Cardinal 3250RL. I saw this one, however, the documentation is confusing: Confirmed to Fit 2024 Ram 3500 CHANGE VEHICLE Diesel models excluding Diesel models I assumed this excluded diesel models… Thanks, again, and I will probably be ordering soon!
