Aren't all the TB's the same? Regardless of engine size? If you go to 52mm, that would require replacement butterflies.....
Yes, both dodge's with the 5.2 and 5.9 have the same size throttle body from the factory. And the stock butterflies can only handle a 50mm bore. If you go larger, you need bigger butterflies.

I thought the 5.9l had a bigger bore from the factory.
52 millimeter = 2.047 inch
Holly has 2" throttle plates and that should be close enough. You can get them from summitracing.com

Actually, the .047 difference is almost 1/16 of an inch. .0625 is 1/16", so you are close. You will have too much gap around the butterfly for them to work properly. At least in my thinking.
If I am wrong about them working, then I will admit it, but I know I am right on the size.

When I bored my throttle body out to 50mm I had a high idle issue because the stock plates are 50mm and with the slight angle that they have it left a gap on both ends of each plate. I fixed that by adjusting the stop screw that's hidden under a knock out on the side of the throttle body.
