  • How to Determine if Brophy Universal Camper Tie-Downs Will Fit Truck
  • I can tell you some quick measurements to take to determine if the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSBP will fit your 2006 Dodge Ram, but these are universal tie-downs and there is not an application guide specific to your truck. That said, it is likely they do fit your truck, but to make sure start by measuring your bed rail width, which needs to be 5-1/2 inches or less. You also need at least 2 inches of space underneath your bed rail, and they won't work with drop-in bed liners or...

  • Compatability of Fifth Wheel Hitch Installation Kit with the 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab
  • Yes, the Custom install kit, item # RP50140-58, does work with Mega Cab models (see instructions). Always measure truck and trailer before installing hitch to be sure that there is clearance at the cab and at the bumper to allow for maneuvering. You may need to use a Sidewinder to gain enough clearance between the cab and trailer loft to make turns up to 90 degrees. Our Sidewinder page (see link) has a formula for determining the clearance you will need and if you will need a Sidewinder....

  • Can you Get a 90-Degree Turn out of a B&W Companion Slider on a 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup Short Bed
  • You will definitely need the B&W Companion Slider, part # BWRVK3400. As for the numbers, it looks like the 32" - 54" = -22" is correct. That number seems high though, so you might want to check those measurements again. Either way, the Companion Slider has 12" of travel, so you won't be able to make a full 90-degree turn. That's okay because many people can still pull their 5th wheels without needing to make a full 90-degree turn. You will just need to test drive this in a parking lot...

  • How to Carry Kayaks With 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab
  • We have a couple of options for you, though I checked with all the roof rack manufacturers and there are no clamp-on roof rack fits for your 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab. If you did want to go with a roof rack, the only option is from SeaSucker, which is a vacuum-mounted rack, the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. This is just as strong as a standard roof rack, using vacuum cups that attach to your roof which makes it really easy to take on and off so it's really convenient. The...

This hitch would mount using four holes, two that would use 3/4 inch diameter bolts, and two that use 1/2 inch diameter bolts.

  • Will The Tuson DirecLink Work In A 2003 Dodge Ram 3500?
  • I have spoken to Tuson about this issue and there is no way to tell beforehand if the intermittent vehicle OBD network connection will happen, unfortunately. However, as you have a 2003 Ram 3500 and this is listed as being a problem with some Ram trucks from 2005 to 2009 and I have not seen or heard of any issues with trucks before this year span, there should not be any issue with this working for your application. The only thing is that I cannot say that 100% for sure. Which is a huge...
