Part 15409 fits 2003-current Dodge Ram 2500/3500 models and 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 models built after November 2002. It works with or without an OEM receiver already installed. Fitment depends on bed length: long bed and short bed vehicles use different mounting holes on the hitch side plates.
Yes, part 15409 works with or without an OEM receiver. However, if your vehicle is equipped with a factory hitch, you may need to loosen the hitch/bumper beam and push it toward the rear of the vehicle to create additional space for the Curt hitch during installation.
The hitch weight is 30 lbs.
You will need a socket wrench, torque wrench, 8 inch socket extension, and 13/16" and 7/8" sockets.
The kit includes: 2 HHCS 9/16-12 UNC Grade 8 bolts (part 10-10500), 2 pieces of 9/16" fishwire, 2 flat washers 9/16" (part 30-00202), 6 serrated flange nuts 9/16-12 UNC Grade 8 (part 20-00104), 4 carriage bolts 9/16-12 UNC 1-3/4" Grade 8 (part 10-10328), 2 spacers .313 x 2.13 x 2.13" with 9/16" square hole (part CM-SP68), 2 spacers .313 x 1.50 x 3.00" with 9/16" square hole (part CM-SP74), and 6 spacers .188 x 1.25 x 1.50" with round hole (part CM-SP8).
No, drilling is not required. The manual states "No drilling required."
Raise the hitch into position by aligning the holes in the hitch side plates with the holes in the frame rails. The correct hole alignment depends on your vehicle's bed length: long bed vehicles use the frontmost hole, and short bed vehicles use the middle hole on the hitch side plates.
CM-SP74 spacers (.313 x 1.50 x 3.00" with 9/16" square hole) are slid through the ends of the frame rails and aligned with the front mounting holes. CM-SP68 spacers (.313 x 2.13 x 2.13" with 9/16" square hole) are slid through the ends of the frame rails and aligned with the rear mounting holes. Both spacers help position the hitch correctly on the frame.
Fishwire is used to thread 9/16" carriage bolts through access holes in the side of the frame rails and through the spacers. The fishwire helps guide the bolts through tight spaces during assembly. Two pieces of 9/16" fishwire are included in the kit.
After torquing the carriage bolts to 150 lb-ft, align the slots in the hitch side plates with the slots in the vehicle tow loops. Install 9/16" hex bolts and flat washers through the hitch side plates and tow loops. Install enough CM-SP8 spacers (.188 x 1.25 x 1.50" with round hole) between the tow loops and hitch side plates to prevent the tow loops from pulling into the hitch when the bolts are tightened. Secure with 9/16" hex flange nuts and torque to 150 lb-ft.
Align the slots in the hitch side plates with the slots in the vehicle tow loops. Ram 1500 models use the bottom slot on the hitch side plate. Ram 2500/3500 models use the top slot on the hitch side plate.
All 9/16" hardware on part 15409 is torqued to 150 lb-ft. This includes the carriage bolts connecting the hitch to the frame rails (step 7) and the hex bolts connecting the hitch to the tow loops (step 11).
The manual lists gross load capacity when used as a weight-carrying hitch and when used as a weight-distribution hitch, but the specific trailer weight and tongue weight values are not filled in on this manual. You must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the specific capacity ratings.
After installation, ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners remain tight and that all structural components are sound during use.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular inspection before towing is recommended.
