- Does Draw Tite Hitch for 2018 Ram 1500 Require Trimming Fascia
- All of the front hitches we offer for your 2018 Ram 1500 like the Draw Tite part # 65062 do require trimming of the front fascia. The trimming allows the hitch to sit a little bit higher so that you get slightly better ground clearance. Front hitches typically aren't classified but this hitch is a 2 inch size like a Class III normally is and has higher capacities too at 9,000 lb line pull and 500 lb vertical load.

- The best fifth wheel hitch recommendation I can make for you is the Demco Hijacker AutoSlide part # DM8550034 because this hitch automatically slides back as you make tight turns to give you the needed clearance without forcing you to get out of the truck ever. To fit the hitch to the factory rail kit of your 2018 Ram 2500 you'd need the Demco Ram rail adapter part # DM6099. With this installed the hitch will easily install.
I attached an install video for both the truck and rail kit...
view full answer... - Recommended Sway Bar for 28 to 35 Foot Camper
- For a sway bar that will work nicely on the camper you are looking to purchase I recommend the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660. Since your camper will be longer than 26 feet it is recommended to use two friction sway control bars so you will want to order two of these kits.
This unit uses tension/friction to fight against trailer sway that is caused by winds, winding roads, or sudden maneuvers. It simply attaches to either side of the trailer tongue and the ball mount on your...
view full answer... - How Much Support Do the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement Systems Add on 2019 Ram 3500
- There are two different Timbren Rear Suspension Kits available for your 2019 Ram 3500. The Timbren # T94VR will provide 8,000 pounds of load leveling support and the Timbren # TDR3500CA features an even higher capacity of 8,600 pounds.
Any aftermarket suspension enhancement system, including the Timbrens, will not actually increase the capacity of your Ram 3500. The listed capacities are simply what the springs themselves can handle. If the payload capacity of your Ram is lower than this...

- The Curt A series fifth wheel hitches are actually an updated version of the Q series are definitely the way to go. Biggest improvement is a better jaw design that holds the king pin of the trailer tighter for a much quieter and smoother ride quality. The A20 for the Ram rail kit of your 2019 Ram 3500 long bed part # C16044 would be a really great choice that we recommend highly.

- For your 2013 Ram 2500, I recommend the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3400-5W along with Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1313-5W. This is an excellent hitch that gives you the gooseneck option and the clean bed when not in use. It is made extremely well and I personally think it is the best hitch for your truck. You will want the slider for turning clearance if you have a 6-1/2 foot bed. If you have an 8 foot...

- I have a couple options but for a roll up tonneau that encroaches the least on the bed width you'd want the TruXedo TruXport Soft # TX286901 which has most of it's rail sitting on top of the bed rails. Other roll ups have the rails between the bed rails.

The weight distribution system I highly recommend for towing a 2020 Forest River Wildwood X-Lite 19DBXL, which has a GVWR of 7,520...
view full answer... - Can the Solera Slide-Toppers Withstand Heavy Wind
- It is possible to disconnect the slide-topper in windy weather but there is not exactly an easy way to do this. The process to disconnect the slide-topper would essentially be the opposite of the install process as that is what you will be doing. I might also add that this will most likely require two people to accomplish.
There is a pre-set tension on all of the Solera Slide-Toppers and they are made of a much heavier 13.5 oz fabric that has a five year warranty so there should not be...

- For your 2019 Ram 3500 4-wheel drive that has the factory fifth wheel rail kit I recommend the custom fit Firestone Ride Rite kit part # F2615 because this kit gives you an air bag style of suspension enhancement that allows you to set exactly how much support you want by adjusting the amount of air pressure used. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.
Then for a compressor kit I recommend the Firestone Air Command kit part # F2097 which gives you an easy...

The Timbren kit part # TDR3500CA which is a custom fit for your truck gives you all the support you need without ever having to worry about air bag pressure or air leaks etc. Basically you install the kit once (easier than installing air bags) and then you never have to worry about them again which is really nice.

- The first thing you are going to want to do is check under the rear bumper near the spare tire for a wiring plug called a US Car Connector which you can see a photo of attached for you. If you have this plug then all you will need to install both 4 and 7-way trailer connection points on your Ram is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55774.
If you do not have this wiring plug then you will need to hardwire both wiring harnesses into the vehicle's tail lights. In order to...

- The roof rack I recommend for your 2018 Ram 1500 Crew Cab the custom fit Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA150B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK043 because this rack comes with aerodynamically shaped crossbars which minimize wind noise and because this rack costs quite a bit less than the other racks of the same high quality. I attached a picture that shows this rack installed on a similar Ram 2018 1500 just like yours as well as an install video of the rack on the same truck.

- Both of the Truxedo tonneau covers you mentioned are a confirmed fit for your 2016 Ram 2500 6-1/2 foot bed but the difference between the Pro X15 part # TX1446901 and the Lo Pro QT part # TX546901 is how low of a profile you want. The Lo Pro will sit above the bed rails about 1 inch whereas the Pro 15 sits only about 1/2 inch above the bed rails. The 15 in the name represents the angle of the side rails which is what allows it to sit lower.
