  • The TorkLift GlowStep Camper Scissor Steps - 6 Steps - Aluminum - 20" Wide - 325 lbs # TLA7806 will work with your truck bed 53 inches off the ground.

  • Length of Westin Tube Steps for a 1994 Ford F-250 Super Cab Long Bed
  • What you are looking for is called wheel to wheel tube steps. All of the steps for your 1994 Ford F-250 Super Cab are cab length only. They will not extend the distance between the wheels. I am not certain the length of the cab on the Super Cab models but that is how long the bars will be. They do have a single pad per bar. If your truck is not a Heavy Duty model, you could use bed step # AS-550. This would work exactly as you need it to. And it can fold back in when not in use. It will...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2005 Toyota Tundra Hauling an In Bed Camper
  • To add a set of Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement to your 2005 Toyota Tundra 4WD, you will want item # TTORTUN4. This system is custom fit and has a 6,000 lbs capacity. This are our lightest capacity Timbrens for your truck and are still overkill for a 1,200 lbs camper. A better option would be the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs item # SSR-610-54.

  • Measurements of Brophy Hitch Stair with 2 Steps RHS2 on Ram 1500 Pickup
  • The way to determine if you will be happy with the fit of Brophy Hitch Stair with 2 Steps # RHS2 on your Ram is to take note of the height of the top step relative to your receiver opening.

The three hitch pin holes allow for flexibility in how close to the vehicle the step will be positioned. I went to our warehouse to measure these holes' positions relative to the top step. The...

  • What is the Capacity of Brophy Truck Bed Tie Downs HSSF and Will they Fit a 1997 Ford F-350
  • As long as your 1997 Ford F-350 is not a step side, does not have a double wall bed, and is not a dually then the Brophy tie downs, # HSSF, will fit. The tie downs do not have an official capacity because they are rated for whatever the truck bed can handle. Consult your owners manual to determine the capacity. I also recommend adding the hardware package # TDHP to secure the camper to the tie downs.

  • With the Convert-A-Ball Step Gate # CAB-SG removed using the quick release there still will be a portion of the assembly that will go over the top of the tail gate. To get an idea of what will still be on the tail gate check out the picture I attached.

  • Why is There a Weight Difference Between Fifth Wheel Trailer Pin Weight Capacity and Bed Payload
  • This is a really good question, but the difference between the pin weight from a fifth wheel hitch that a truck can handle and the bed's payload is the fact that the payload refers to the weight capacity of the truck's bed which is typically a thinner sheet metal and the fifth wheel hitches actually attach directly to the truck frame which is much thicker. The hitch connects to the rails and the rails uses brackets that attach to the frame rails of the truck.

  • Can Cargo Carrier Be Used As Step for Truck Bed Camper
  • Since the 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18100 has a 500 lb weight capacity you can potentially use it for this application, but my hesitation is that you'd likely be stepping directly on the mesh part of the carrier which is is designed to carry a load that's more spread out than your feet. So while it will definitely hold up, if you step on it enough that mesh will wear down. What I recommend doing is picking up the cargo carrier for your extra cargo and then installing some...
