Yes you can put 5th gen 2500 or 3500 taillights in your truck as they're the same shape as the 4th gen taillights but you'll need a conversion harness for them to function properly. There's a few people selling harnesses like retro shop.

Also 5th gen 1500 taillights WILL NOT WORK they have an angled top corner that makes them unusable on 4th gens.

This is a picture of my forth gen on the left and a 5th Gen on the right. It does look as if the forth is angled up and the fifth not?
(I know this is an older thread, came across while searching for the answer to this)

5th gen 1500 lights will not work. 4.5th gen 2500/3500 lights will work with a conversion harness
