Insight regarding the torque lift 3109 kit for 2014 dodge RAM 3500 DRW long bed. I understand a camper extension kit (7004) is required for the rear tie downs to clear the rear fenders when mounting an Arctic Fox TC (or any camper which does not adhere to the 90 inch rule --------- distance between the front camper wall and rear tie down). Not very attractive.
I am trying to decide between happijac, which require 10 holes to be drilled into the truck bed and rear bumper, or torque lift which requires the 7004 kit.
Also, my Arctic Fox 1150 has 2 front rubber bumpers. From prior experience (2001 Lance 1130), bumpers are can be damaged with the front horizontal bed mounted stabilizer bar via the happijac system. Lance has addressed this issue on newer campers with teflon guides in lieu of rubber bumpers. I would like to use the Lance teflon solution, but am unsure if the TC front wall can take the extra stress. Rubber absorbs shock, teflon does not.
