Torklift Tie Down Installation Report for a 2013 Ram 3500

I completed this installation a few days ago and for the most part this was an easy, trouble-free installation. I did encounter a few minor snags, though, which are detailed in my report. Click on the link below for the full details.

Torklift Tie Down Installation Report
  • I removed the Torklift tiedowns from my 2008 Dodge RAM 3500 and installed them on my 2013 RAM 3500.

    It's nice to have metal working equipment available to make the modifications needed.

    I probably took a little more time than the OP, but the $$ was right!

    Thanks, Scott. Just take your time and read the booklets ahead of time and you'll do fine.

    Thank you Mike. I can't wait to move back to the Main land. To start setting up to get my Truck and TC.

    Great write-up! I find myself wishing I'd done my own install on my current truck….next time! Look forward to seeing them put to use and photos of the "new" rig!


    Thanks! Photos coming soon. :)

    I agree. The Tie Downs for my 2011 Ford F-250 were much easier to install.
