RE: question about welding on my frame
you may have welded on frames for years but, that was probably when they made vehicles. The frames on these trucks are paper thin and any welding will remove it's structural integrity. Dodge actually has a TBS out that says NOT to weld to the frames. It also said there are only a couple places that can even be drilled into. I'd say if you're going to do it... it's at your own risk !

RE: question about welding on my frame
The newer Ram frames are made of
HSLA (high strength low alloy) steel
and need special welding techniques and choices of filler rods/wire.
Lord Corp has some amazing glues that most body shops now keep in stock for repairing vehicles. These glues actually make a stronger/tougher bond than most stick welding. You might explore using some Lord glue for your brackets along with bolts.
