Recommended Camper Tie-Downs For A 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab 4x4 6.5' Bed

Question:

We have a new Northern Lite 8-11EX LE Wet Bath. I put the camper on the mega cab 6.5' bed and the CG is aft of the axle by around 8 inches. The rear tie downs on the camper are right above the space between the bumper and the bed. I think with the mega cab is about 8 inches longer than the crew cab. I cant quite figure out what i would need for a rear mount. I believe the TLD2102 will work for the front. Please advise, i need some expert advice. Thanks

You're correct that the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Front # TLD2102 are a fit for the front of your 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab 4x4 6.5' bed. For The rear I recommend the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Rear # TLD3109. These tie-downs are a confirmed fit for the frame of your Ram and come with all hardware included. The tie-down inserts can be easily removed from the frame-mounted receiver brackets for a clean look when not use without having to remove the entire tie down from your truck.

Note: On dually applications rear camper anchor point location may require the use of # TLA7004. Measure from the front of the camper slide in point to the rear anchor point; kit is needed if less than 90 inches.

You will also need some turnbuckles to secure your camper to your tie-downs. I recommend the TorkLift AnchorGuard Derringer Turnbuckles for Truck Camper Tie-Downs - Stainless Steel - Qty 4 # TLS9020. These stainless steel turnbuckles have built-in levers for quick, simple tightening, making it fast and easy to secure your camper to your truck bed.
