Choosing the right gooseneck hitch is only half the battle in preparing your pickup truck for towing a gooseneck trailer. CURT gooseneck hitches are a premium option in the heavy-duty towing industry, but they are only one of the members in the heavyweight tag team that is CURT gooseneck towing. While a gooseneck hitch gets all the glory above the floor of your truck bed, gooseneck installation brackets provide sure footing and a solid foundation for that oversized gooseneck trailer. Gooseneck installation brackets work by bolting onto the frame of your truck, typically using pre-existing holes. With a set of brackets firmly bolted on, a gooseneck hitch is able to be attached and is given the strength it needs to manage the massive amount of weight of a gooseneck trailer. With so many gooseneck hitch options available from CURT, we wanted to make sure we offered the gooseneck installation products needed to give you a complete towing package. Our installation brackets fit multiple vehicles and hitch heads. This particular set of gooseneck installation brackets is able to work with CURT Double Lock and Quick Goose II gooseneck hitches. It is rated to the vehicle's maximum gross trailer weight capacity and provides a custom fit for certain years of the Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 or 3500 (see application info to verify fitment). With each set of CURT gooseneck installation brackets, we provide the necessary hardware for an easier installation, and we coat our gooseneck brackets in a liquid A-coat to make sure rust and other potential damages are not a problem.

The CURT 60635 Under-Bed Gooseneck Installation Brackets, Fits Select Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 (Part #BKDK60635) fits the following vehicles: 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500; 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500; 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 3500. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
Yes, the CURT 60635 Under-Bed Gooseneck Installation Brackets, Fits Select Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 (Part #BKDK60635) is designed to fit the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500.
The CURT 60635 Under-Bed Gooseneck Installation Brackets, Fits Select Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 (Part #BKDK60635) fits 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 models. The 2002 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The CURT 60635 Under-Bed Gooseneck Installation Brackets, Fits Select Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 (Part #BKDK60635) Drilling is not required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The Curt 60635 gooseneck hitch is designed for 1994–2001 Dodge 1/2 ton trucks (model 94-01) and 1994–2002 Dodge 3/4 and 1 ton trucks (model 94-02). Confirm your truck model year and tonnage against these ranges before purchasing.
Yes, the Curt 60635 fits both short bed and long bed models. The bed hole location differs: short bed installation requires the hole to be marked 44 3/8" from the tailgate end, while long bed installation requires 48 3/8" from the tailgate end. On short bed models, you must check for adequate turning clearance between the front of all trailers and the truck cab.
On two-wheel drive trucks, the inverted ball may interfere with the top of the differential. You must perform a clearance check when the truck is both loaded and unloaded to verify there is no interference before using the hitch.
You may drill through both the truck bed and plastic bed liner, but the manual notes this is more difficult. It is harder to accurately locate the midpoint between the wheel wells and to keep the bed liner from moving while cutting the hole. Consider removing the bed liner before drilling for better accuracy.
The kit includes: 10 serrated flange nuts 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 (part 20-00062); 12 hex head cap screws 1/2-13 UNC 1-1/2" grade 8 (part 10-10334); 12 flat washers 1/2" (part 30-00133); 4 carriage bolts 1/2-13 UNC 1-1/2" grade 8 (part 10-10287); and 6 lock washers 1/2" (part 30-00153).
Required tools include a 4-inch hole saw or a saber saw equipped with a metal cutting blade (for drilling the bed hole), a tape measure, a wrench or socket set for 1/2" fasteners, and a torque wrench capable of 110 ft.-lbs. An overhead lifting device such as a chain fall, engine hoist, or cable come-a-long is recommended to help position the center section during installation.
Yes, you must lower and remove the spare tire before beginning installation.
Yes, on four-wheel drive applications you must remove the plastic wheel well inserts from both sides before installation.
Measure from the tailgate end of the truck bed (hook the tape measure over the back of the truck box, not from the edge of the tailgate). Mark 44 3/8" for short bed or 48 3/8" for long bed. Next, mark the center between the wheel wells. This center point is where you drill. This location is critical and will position the ball 4"–5" in front of the axle.
Make a 4-inch hole using a 4-inch hole saw or by marking a 4-inch circle and cutting it out with a saber saw equipped with a metal cutting blade. (Note: If your truck has a C-630 or C-640 model, the hole size is 3 5/8" instead.)
Yes, all models require modification or removal of heat shields. The manual does not specify the exact location or method, so consult the specific heat shield configuration on your truck or contact Curt Manufacturing for guidance.
Yes, to install the handle rod, you must cut the bed flange rail up 3/4" and 5" wide on the driver side. You must also cut a 6" wide by 5" high hole into the plastic wheel well, lined up with the bed flange cut-out, to allow access to use the handle rod.
An overhead lifting device such as a chain fall, engine hoist, or cable come-a-long is recommended to help lift and position the center section. The device can be attached via a loop of rope or chain through the hole in the truck bed floor and connected to the round hitch receiver tube. However, the manual does not state that the device is absolutely required, only that it can facilitate installation, especially if the truck bed floor has been distorted.
1. Install the rear cross arm by sliding it between the truck bed and frame on the passenger side, then swing the driver's side into place and push toward the back. Holes must face the front of the truck. 2. Install the front cross arm by sliding it between the truck frame and bed above one of the rear tires. 3. Raise the center section between the cross arms with the ball cylinder toward the front. The round receiver must fit through the bed hole. 4. Attach the center section to the front cross arm using 4 bolts, washers, and lock washers (finger tight). 5. Attach the rear cross arm to the center section using 4 carriage bolts and flange nuts (finger tight).
On extended cab short bed applications, you may need to remove the metal tabs from the bed supports located on the truck bed cross-member in the front part of the wheel opening. Before removing, attempt to pry the tabs away from the truck frame enough to fit the 1/4" sideplate behind them. If they cannot be pried out, they should be cut off.
1. Square the center section and cross arms across the frame. 2. Thread a 1 1/2" bolt with flat and lock washer through the front flange of the sideplate into the front cross arm. Place a 1 1/2" bolt with flat washer through the back flange into the rear cross arm. Finger tighten with a 1/2" flange nut. Repeat for the other side. 3. Align one front hole and one rear hole of each sideplate to the existing holes in the truck frame, and attach using a 1 1/2" bolt with 1/2" flat washer. Finger tighten with a 1/2" flange nut.
All fasteners must be torqued to 110 ft.-lbs. Torque in this order: First, torque the center section to the front and rear cross arms. Second, torque the sideplates to the truck frame on both sides. Third, torque the sideplate flanges to the front and rear cross arms.
Do not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The manual does not specify a weight limit for the hitch itself; you must consult your Dodge truck's owner manual or Curt Manufacturing for the specific capacity.
On short bed models, you must check for adequate turning clearance between the front of all trailers and the truck cab. Use the clearance calculation provided in the manual: (cab to ball center) minus (coupler overhang, if any) minus (1/2 trailer width) equals minimum clearance. If the result is negative, the trailer will interfere with the cab.
Yes, brake, fuel, and electrical lines may need to be loosened or repositioned to provide clearance for the new hardware. Check these lines carefully during installation and before final torquing.
Maintenance is required every 30 days or prior to use: 1. Keep the hitch ball lubricated regularly using silicone spray or equivalent to prevent wear and rust. 2. Keep the hitch assembly free of dirt and other foreign debris. 3. Check for proper torque on all nuts and bolts before each use and check for excessive wear. 4. Check for ball wear before each use. Do not tow a trailer with worn or damaged parts.
After installation, verify that all fasteners are torqued to 110 ft.-lbs. in the specified sequence. Check that the center section is squared across the frame. On two-wheel drive trucks, perform a clearance check when the truck is both loaded and unloaded to ensure the inverted ball does not interfere with the differential. On short bed models, verify adequate turning clearance between the front of trailers and the truck cab. Inspect brake, fuel, and electrical lines to confirm they have adequate clearance and are not pinched or damaged.
The Curt 60635 fits 1994–2001 Dodge 1/2 ton trucks and 1994–2002 Dodge 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. It works on both short bed and long bed models.
Yes, you must drill a 4-inch hole in the truck bed floor. The location is 44 3/8" from the tailgate on short bed or 48 3/8" on long bed, centered between the wheel wells. Heat shield modification or removal is also required on all models.
Yes, you must remove the spare tire. On four-wheel drive models, you must also remove the plastic wheel well inserts from both sides.
All fasteners must be torqued to 110 ft.-lbs. in this order: center section to cross arms, sideplates to truck frame, then sideplate flanges to cross arms.
On short bed models, verify adequate turning clearance between the trailer front and truck cab using the provided clearance calculation. On two-wheel drive trucks, check when loaded and unloaded that the inverted ball does not interfere with the differential.
