Bigfoot & 2006 Dodge Ram dually & fender flare question

I'll thank everyone in advance for answering yet another question. I bought a 2006 Dodge Ram Dually for the soon to be picked up 2016 Bigfoot 10.4.

One of my knowledgable local RV guys said he has seen issues before with the size of the rear dually fender flares being in the way of the turnbuckles since the flares are so large front to rear.

Any of you Gen III Dodge owners run into this? Here's a couple pictures of the truck in question.





Don't worry the tool box is already out of the bed. The truck is having frame mounted tie down brackets installed.

Cheers

    I have a 2004 DRW Dodge and a Bigfoot TC. It has Torklift frame mounts that were installed be the previous owner. I did not receive the extensions for the tiedowns. I made my own, and made them long enough not to hit the fenders. The extensions are pretty simple to build.

    Hmm, well sweet looking truck anyway! Guess check how far back the Bigfoot rear tiedown is.
    Another option, with a bit of labor involved and probably some money would be slap a srw bed and some mega can dually fenders on it. Would look great IMO and depending what you can scrounge up for a bed, maybe not too expensive after selling the old bed.

    Looks like a sweet new pad you got there. Out in Watucky....I mean Wasilla?

    Carried a cabover on a 2005 3500 Ram dually. Never had any issues with the fenders, tiedowns, etc. And I used Torklift. I did have a close tie down to the fuel door but that never caused any fueling issues.
