Well, I think I am ready to pick it up on Thursday. I put a 7 pin plug inside the driver side bed, added plywood and rubber mats to match the height of my 5th wheel hitch rails. That brings the height on top of mats to side rails at 20", just what the previous owner has on his Ford. My cab isn't as tall so I will have roof clearance.
I installed Torklifts on the front and Happijac bumper mounts on the back. I bought 5' of chain to get the turnbuckles to fit, and 4 screw links to attach with.
I also took off the tailgate. The camper has swing out brackets on the front so the dually won't hit and the owner said it has bumpers on the front so no need for a 2x4 as a spacer.
Is there anything else I need immediately, or "must haves" for the future?
