Install is exactly the same, jst take the four screws out and the speaker comes rite out... Make sure you hook the positive and negative up rite...other wise your speakers will be out of phase and wont sound focused. I would tell you to jst get 2 ways they are cheaper and you wont really tell the difference. Do you have a door panel removal tool? Its much easier getting the doors off with it. FYI there is one screw by the mirror up top and 2 in the door handle cup.

You should be able to.. I got mine off the net, but they should have them. It basically a 90 degree angled screw drive with a u shaped tip.

O ya let me ad I did not use different clips when I put my panels back on and they are jst fine. You have to be careful tho..dont be afraid to really pry on it...dont jst try to pry it out slow jst go fast...thats how I found it easiest.

I dunno how your ram is set up compared to my 98' ram, but when i had my 98' dakota and decided to put in a pair of brand new rockford fosgate speakers, (which i feel are the best, besides bose of course[8D]) we took all the screws, clips, etc. and when we went to lift off the door panel a plastic clip broke that was connected to the door handle. I could not open my passenger door for over 2 months hahaha b/c the damn autobody shop couldnt get the part in it was on back order, ANYWAY just hope u have better luck then i did with mine!!! needless to say best buy ended up installing mine when it was all said and done.
