How to Use Torklift Hitch Extender with 2014 Ram 3500 with Factory Hitch

Question

Question:

Hi - I have a 2014 RAM 3500 Dually. I carry a large camper that extends off the back. Im thinking about buying a Jeep or some some other vehicle to tow behind my truck/camper. I think I need Torklift #TLE1542. I currently have a factory installed hitch. I do not see any available frame/hitch spot to attach the stabilization? chains on my current setup. So, Im assuming I need a new receiver hitch where the chains will attach? If I am correct, please forward the receiver hitch part number and correct me if I am incorrect about the extension I listed above. Thank You

To use the Torklift hitch extender part # TLE1542 that you referenced your truck will need to have a Torklift hitch installed on it that has dual hitch openings like the # TLD1108 which fits your truck and gives it a second hitch opening under the factory one for the extender to connect to.
