I'm a little behind getting to installing my 5ver hitch. Hope to do it next Saturday. I did get around to looking at the instructions...

The nice gal at Reese told me that ALL 04 2500's have overload bracket, so they sent me that kit. Now I'm looking at the instructions and they imply that I may, or may not have overload brackets... and you drill different holes depending on what you have.

Do all 04 2500's have overload brackets? If not, how can I tell if mine has them. My uneducated eye looked at the springs and I see nothing that obviously looks like a bracket for an overload condition...

 

Just installed the Reese rails on my truck. There are a couple "dimples" in the way on the rear brackets. I had to use the "optional" kit, and mine does not have the overloads.
