I emailed Reese about the no-drill kit Friday..... I'll post the part #'s & specs if they ever get back to me, but your friend might be quicker!
Thanks, Defdog2

Well, the tech dept at Reese acutally got back to me rather quickly!
They said that there is NOT a "no-drill" kit available for the 3500...(but didn't say anything about the 2500, which leaves that possibility open I guess.)
They also sent me a copy of the Dodge TSB about drilling the frame that I mentioned earlier.
Got the email early Monday morning, so I'm glad to see Reese is on the ball enough to answer their customer's questions in a timely manner!

I called Pull-rite today and they do not offer a kit for the 2004-2004.5 two wheel drive. The have it for the 4 wheel drive. I am just looking for the rails since I am going with the Advanced Air Rider hitch. Was looking at the Husky rails.

Thanks... I found the hidden Hitch site and they have some nice products! I'm going to have to check out their ball hitch for the front end, if it fits without any surgery, it might just make my want to have list!!!!
Found their bracket kit for the 3rd gens, (looks like they use re-branded Reese 5th wheel hitches...) but the PDF file dosen't mention the frame brackets and there are no pictures of them that I can find.
Sent tech support an email & maybe they will point me to the right part # & pictures.

"Dean" from Hidden Hitch got back to me today... sez that the 3500 requires some "minimal" drilling due to the "ox brackets". (I'm assuming the overloads?) (So "no" to a no-drill kit, at least for the 3500)
No pictures, but he gave me his phone number & the reply was very timely.
Looks like Hidden Hitch might be a good company, its good to have another alternative for the future!
I had never even heard of HiddenHitch prior to this thread, I love these forums....I always learn so much!!!!
Thanks to everyone!
