Does the 2020 Ram 3500 Fornt Mount Camper Tie Downs from TorkLift Require Fuel Tank Removal

Question

Question:

Will these camper mounts be a problem installing on my Ram 3500 Crew Cab pickup? It has an 8 foot bed with cab length running boards. 1. The truck has a 50 gallon fuel tank, will the tank need to be lowered or removed to install driver side forward mounting bolts ? 2. It also has air suspension. Will the air compressor that is mounted on the frame, passenger side, near the front of the bed be a problem ? 3. Is there a video of the installation on a truck similiar to mine?

I have a couple of pictures that I have linked for you showing the installed tie downs to use as reference. On the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs Front part # TLD2142 and Rear part # TLD3112 there are no notes in regards to temporarily removing the fuel tank. As for the compressor that is going to depend on exactly where it is installed.

I do not currently have an installation video.

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

You can definitely install the HappiJac tie-downs in the front and use Torklift tie-downs for the rear, but you'll have to purchase the whole Happijac kit #LC236326-205221 since we don't currently offer the front separately. For the rear…
