  • Where to Mount the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor # AL25850 on a 2013 Ram 1500 Crew Cab
  • There should be room on the inboard side of the drivers side frame rail under the cab to mount the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor, # AL25850. We have not had a chance to install this compressor on a 2013 Ram 1500 yet, but we have installed the Firestone Level Command II Compressor, # F2158, on a 2012 Ram 1500. I attached the installation video for you to check out. I know Dodge made a few frame modifications on the 2013 models, but there should be room on the frame rail to mount the...

  • How To Determine Which Orientation The Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Supposed To Be?
  • I went ahead and checked out the instruction manual for your Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200, and in order to determine the correct orientation you're going to need to take one more measurement to determine the orientation. Along with the side and tailgate measurement to the center of the 5th wheel ball, you're also going to need to measure, with the king pin adapter installed and in the forward position, from the center of the adapters...

  • Installing a Tekonsha Brake Controller on a 2018 Ram 3500 With Factory Ports
  • The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Ram # 3024-P will snap directly onto a plug under the dash of your 2018 Ram 3500. Once it is snapped onto that plug, it will then need to be snapped into the port on the back of the Tekonsha P3 # 90195. You will then be completely connected and good to go. I included an install video of the # 3024-P and # 90195 being installed on a 2015 Ram 3500 for you to check out as well.

  • Installation Recommendation For Hopkins Wiring Harness # 41157 In 2013 Dodge Ram 2500
  • The Hopkins Endurance 90-Degree Wiring Harness, part # 41157, is designed to plug into the existing wiring on your 2013 Dodge Ram 2500, and still retain the use of the 7-pole connector at the bumper. Normal installation would be accomplished by drilling through the bed liner, and mounting the connector through the bed liner in a convenient place that has enough clearance, usually behind the wheel well on the driver side of the truck bed. I have attached a link to a video that shows the...

  • Can 2 DeeZee Tailgate Assists be Installed on a 2014 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman
  • Installing 2 of the DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System # DZ43301 would cause the tailgate to float (not lower all the way) so it is not recommended. Also, it can only be installed on the driver's side of the tailgate so you couldn't physically install 2 of them.

  • Will Computer on 2016 Ram Rebel Need to Be Relfashed to Use Curt C51180 Echo Brake Controller
  • The Curt # C51180 Echo will work just fine on your Rebel , and the computer would not need to be re-flashed at the dealer in order for the Echo to operate. The Echo gets operates independently of the trailer brake circuit on the truck so it'll work great for you right out of the box. As long as the 12v power feed circuit on the vehicle is active (it should be) and you have a smart phone with a recent OS, the controller will work great for you. I've linked you to a video that explains how...

  • Which Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 for 2017 Ram 1500
  • Since you want the best unloaded ride quality you would want the kit that does not have the jounce bumper like you mentioned. So based on that the # AL57365 that you mentioned would be more than adequate and would do a great job with your towing setup. You'd have the support when needed and the ride quality when needed as well.

  • Can Factory Tow Hooks Be Re-Installed with Curt Front Hitch for 2019 Ram 1500
  • The factory tow hooks will not be re-installed on a 2019 Ram 1500 using the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C87FR per the instructions. I do see how some others were able to retain them but that does not mean we can recommend this since it is not advised by the manufacturer. Please note, you can use the receiver for vehicle recover using something like the Curt Tow Strap Loop for 2" Hitches part # C45832.

  • Will the Curt 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2014 Ram 2500 With Pucks Work With Bedliner
  • The Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16546 with Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch part # C16022 is an excellent option for a 2014 Ram 2500 with pucks. If you have a spray-in bedliner then there won't be any issues. If you have a drop-in plastic bed liner then you would need to make the correct cutouts to free the pucks.

  • Rail Placement for 5th Wheel Install Kit RP50054-58 for a 2015 Ram 2500
  • I can help you out with this installation. For 5th wheel install kit # RP50054-58 measure from the rear edge of the truck bed forward 28-3/16 inches for a long bed or 26-1/4 inches for a short bed. This is where the back edge of the rear rail will be. Once the rear rail is in place the front rail will be 22 inches forward of the rear rail. This is measured from the center of the rear rail to the center of the front rail. But I would leave things a little loose until you have the hitch...

  • Determining 5th Wheel Hitch Height for Level Towing
  • The Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs # C16545-16021 should be set up to the top height initially. This will ensure you don't have issues with the side rails of your truck if you can't measure first. Then you will adjust down as you can to make trailer level when towing. If you can measure, then you will measure from the ground to the bottom of the flat part of the pin box not the pin itself when the trailer is level. Then you will...

  • Can EcoHitch Front Mount Receiver be Used to Carry Two Motorcycles on 2017 Ram 3500
  • Technically, yes. The EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7900 is rated for 700 pounds vertical load. So, as long as the combined weight of your two motorcycles and carrier do not exceed that, and your driving visibility and/or truck lights aren't blocked, it will work. I recommend double checking the capacity for the front axle on your 2017 Ram 3500 to make sure you're not overloading it. This information can be found on a label in the driver's side door jamb.

  • The installation instructions for the vehicle specific brake controller adapter # 3024-P indicate that the plug for the brake controller harness is located underneath the dash and to the right of the steering column. The instructions say the plug is taped to another harness and there should be a 4-pin connector that mates with the one of the adapter # 3024-P. Sometimes, these harnesses do not end up in the same exact location on every vehicle of the same model. The connector may be hidden...

  • Why Does 36-1/8" x 24" Better Bath RV Bathtub Not Have Front Panel
  • Pretty much every residential tub has a flat front like what you're talking about, but when we step over to the RV world things get a little different. The design of the Better Bath RV Bathtub # LC209653 where it has that lip instead of a whole front section is what the vast majority of RVs use which is why it is designed this way. We do carry the Better Bath RV Bathtub # LC208946 which is an almond color with the left hand drain and a whole front panel, but this measures 54" long x 26-3/4"...

  • Sidewinder Wedge Removal and Custom Wedge Options
  • It sounds like you want to remove the wedge on your Sidewinder pin box. All that is required to remove that is to remove the bolts holding the wedge in place. It is simply two bolts and lock washers as the pin box has the integrated weld nuts. You will want to replace the wedge prior to using the Sidewinder as that is a key component to keep the function and not have dual rotating parts which would be extremely dangerous. If you are wanting to make the Sidewinder more like a traditional...
