Been thinking about one and was curious of what brand people recommend, lengths and do I have enough truck to do it? I have a 98 Ram 2500 with a 360 v8 auto.

The 24v diesel was a nightmare. The old tried and true 360 has been good to me. Now if it would have been a 12 valve, I would have kept it.
8800 lbs max trailer, right on the hitch.
Just a word of caution, the hitch may be rated at 8800 lbs (factory hitch?) but that doesn't mean the truck is rated at 8800 lbs.
Many factors contribute to provide a manufacturer's towing rating.
Hitch, springs, axles, wheels and tires, brakes, electrical and cooling systems, etc. ALL combine for the legal towing rating.
