HappiJac Tiedowns on newer Rams?

Anyone have the rear HappiJac bumper tie-downs on a newer Ram?
My 14' Ram has really thin bumpers and the bumper brackets look like they are just thin stamped sheet metal. I don't know if they are usable with the HappiJacs system.

For the rear Torqlifts, the Ram has a frame mounted tubular hitch, how would the Torqlift work in the rear?

Thanks
  • There are two types of torklift rears for newer dodges . One that bolts to the superhitch , The superhitch is a second hitch that goes under the factory one .
    The other type is a frame mount , dosent mount to hitch
    I suggest you make sure you dont want a superhitch before buying the frame mt model , or you will be buying a second set to work with it
    I made that mistake
    Dont buy happijac`s , you will bend the bumper
  • Hello,

    I have Torklift Tie Downs front & rear on my 2012 Ram 3500 diesel crew Longbed Laramie,
    and Fastgun Turnbuckles, best gear, solid, no bend or flex, to hold down my Eagle Cap 1160
    on a rubber bed mat, no plastic liners that slide & move.

    I would not use Happijac bumper mounted Tie Downs, bumpers these days are too weak, bolts are too flimsy.

    Any questions, please ask. Doug

    This topic was talked about on the Cummins Forum tonight i was reading about. The same subject came up as you have stated. The op just received his new 2014 Ram 3500 DRW CTD and hauls a TC. I am interested in this topic, and seeing any information, that might be given. I am looking at getting a Dodge 3500 DRW and looking at a AF 990 or Wolf Creek 850, myself. Just haven't figured out which Camper yet? Best of luck,
    Scott
