For any running board/step, including the Bestop AMP Research, they will not interfere with the TorkLift camper tie-downs so long as the board/step does NOT go underneath the bed. So as long as the board ends before reaching the bed on your Ram truck, then there will be no interference.

The correct TorkLift tie-downs on your 2022 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed and a factory hitch or TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum 30K are the following:

- Front: TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLD2141

- Rear: TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLD3112

The other part you will need are turnbuckles in order to secure the camper to the tie-downs on your Ram 3500. For that the easiest to use and most secure are the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles for Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs - Stainless Steel - Black # TLS9529-2-LK or Gray # TLS9522-2-LK.

For the front tie-down, you'd use the Torklift #TLD2140. The rear tie-down will depend on whether you have the factory hitch or a TorkLift Super Magnum hitch installed. If you have the factory hitch, use #TLD3113 for the rear, or if you have the…

I personally like the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted tie-downs like parts #TLF2014, and #TLF3005 which fit a 2013 Ford F-150 with the 6-1/2' bed and no board or step under the bed. There are variations of this type of kit depending on the…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

The air suspension system on your 2022 Ram 2500 limits your options for suspension enhancement. None of the air bags made for your truck will be compatible. Instead, I recommend adding the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs #SS64VR. The…

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…

Answer 12

Hey Ted, so if you look in the bed of your truck and see 5 holes/pucks that would mean you have the OEM prep. I'd assume if you had it you'd have seen them by now. If you had it you'd only need a ball like the part #C60618. If you…
