  • Can a Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie-Down be Used with a Rambox
  • The Brophy Stake Pocket Tie Down, part # TDSF, requires a stake pocket to be used. It does not look like the Ramboxes have stake pockets, so this cannot be used. Even if there are, the Rambox setup increases the width of the bed walls so that normal stake pocket tie-downs won't fit. For your 2011 Dodge Ram Pickup, you will need to go with a frame-mounted tie-down system. I've linked to the appropriate page for your vehicle. In the drop-down list, you will need to choose which option fits...

  • How to Determine the Correct Weight Distribution System to Use With Tow Vehicle and Trailer
  • We will have a weight distribution system that will work for you, but it looks like the Reese system you referenced, # RP66560, will be rated too high for your application. When trying to decide on a proper weight distribution (WD) system for your towing rig, you will need to know the total tongue weight (TTW) of your set-up. The total tongue weight will be a fully loaded ready to tow trailer, plus any weight located behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. You want to use a system where...

  • Why is Reese Sidewinder Pin Box Not Compatible with Curt Q Series Hitch?
  • The rotating pin boxes like the Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret by 5th Airborne, 16K # ST400-5AS16K are not compatible with the Curt Q series hitches because of the hitch head design that had a unique spherical axial bearing. That system allowed too much movement for any of the rotating pin boxes to be compatible. In order to use a Sidewinder, you would need to use a different hitch. If you let me know what bed length you have and what series your Ram is, I can...

  • Will A Rear Anti-Sway Bar Fit On A 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 With Air Springs And TorkLift Superhitch
  • It's really going to come down to where the mounting brackets for your Air Lift air springs sit and whether or not they'll block the end link brackets for your Ram. I measured the # RM-1129-124 and found that the brackets would sit 10-1/2" back and 7-1/2" over towards the outside edge of the vehicle. The end link mounting bracket for the frame would sit directly above this. You could measure from the mounting point on the rear axle to see where the bracket for the end links would sit and...

  • Will Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 264-1a fit a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 with Missing Factory Tow Hooks
  • Since your 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 came from the factory with tow hooks the Roadmaster MS Base Plate Kit # 264-1A that you referenced would work for you. This kit utilizes the factory tow hook installation points as installation points for the base plate kit and even if you had the tow hooks still you would not be able to reinstall them once the # 264-1a was installed.

  • You are exactly in the middle between the two sizes of the Yakima Sidebars for the Overhaul HD ladder racks. So what you'd need to do is decide if you'd rather spread the uprights out a little more or push them in closer together to match up to a Sidebar. If you'd prefer to slide them in you'd want the part # Y01153 and if you'd prefer to push out you'd need the # Y01154. The short version has an upright range of 38-3/4 inch to 62-1/8 inch whereas the longer version has a range of 62-3/4...

  • Will the Access Vanish Soft Tonneau Cover fit a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Daytona with a Spoiler Wing
  • Truxedo states that their Lo Pro QT Soft Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # TX546601 should work as long as the rear wing on your truck does not spill over into the bed rail on the inside of the bed.

  • Will a Standard 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit in a Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Installation Kit
  • Reese under-bed installation kit # RP30074 will only accept the Reese 5th wheel trailer hitch like # RP30921. These hitches fit in the 4 pucks in the truck bed. The feet have a handle that you will turn at each foot to secure the hitch in the pucks. In order to use a 5th wheel trailer hitch that normally fits in above the bed rails with the Elite system, you would have to use an adapter, # RP30156. For a standard 5th wheel installation kit with above the bed rails for your 2008 Dodge...

  • Why Does Curt Exclude the Front Mount Hitch # C31017 For a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie
  • I spoke with my technical contact at Curt referencing the front hitch # C31017 and he gave me the following reasons why Curt states that this hitch will not fit your 2005 Dodge 3500 Laramie. The manufacturing of the 3500 Laramie is physically slightly different than the other Dodge Ram trucks with reference to how aftermarket products can mount. With this difference the Laramie does not have a standard fit for some aftermarket products. Because the Laramie has a completely different bumper,...

  • RV Approved Bike Rack Recommendation for a Bike with Rear Suspension
  • The Stromberg Carlson 2 Bike Rack, # LA-102, holds bikes by the seat tube on the frame (see photo). If your bike has a set tube that extends from the seat down to the pedals and enough room to mount the bike on the cradles of the bike rack, then this bike rack will work well for you. There are many different frame designs for bikes with rear suspension. If your bike does not have a seat tube extending from the pedals to the seat or if the suspension interferes with the seat tube, this...

  • Solution to Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer with Two Trucks with Gooseneck Hitch
  • Since flat bed trucks have a taller bed than standard trucks there won't a single hitch you could install on either truck due to the height difference. An easier solution might be to install a fifth wheel to gooseneck hitch adapter like part # CAB-C5G on your trailer so that you can tow with both trucks that have gooseneck hitches.
