I have both front and rear on mine.  There are a couple of different kits available.  I have the Hellwig kits.  They were less than $150 each.  I am not sure about the 2500, but the 1500 have a hollow front bar.  The Hellwig front bar is solid.  Just adding the rear bar makes a world of difference.  Reduces body lean significantly.  If you don't do anything else to the front, it feels a bit mushy going into corners.  You can add poly bushings to help with the response on the front.  But the ultimate would be to replace the front also.  Both front and rear bars come with poly bushings and bolt directly.  For rear bar, nothing is needed to be removed to bolt it up.  For front, just have to remove 2 of the skidplate bolts to remove.  Only drawback to adding the bars is if you do much offroading, you lose some of the articulation.  Good luck.
