OK>>>What's the damage from? The HIGH winds! Did you buy it that way? Or did they pay you to haul it away! Regardless that looks like a great TC, you have your work cut out for you. Your RAM appears to handle it well. Have you done anything to the suspension? I added upper Stableloads. ENJOY and CONGRATS!!!

Thanks! We're excited! We will definitely be adding upper stableloads before we go anywhere with it! Previous owner has the same exact pickup as ours, same year too, and didn't do anything. But we will.

The back story: We bought it that way. Previous owner (super nice guy) backed the back passenger side jack into something and bent it. He couldn't get the jack to go up and was in a downpour. So he figured he'd carefully drive a bit to get out of the rain and then put the jack up. Well, it ended up catching on something and the rest is history. He bent the jack back so it is functional although we'll probably replace it. He sent pics and called Northwood Manufacturing and we called as well before taking it on. For them to fix it, the cost would be about $3-4,000. After that quote and after we'd already agreed to buy it, he did fix part of it so it may not be as bad as originally thought and they wish they would have kept it, but they had already purchased a small 5th wheel. We're going to do the work ourselves (fingers crossed!) so we'll see what the actual cost is in the end.
