Torklift Tie Downs - Install

The Torklift site has section with all the installation manuals in PDF, but it requires a login provided by the company. These manuals have color pictures that can be scaled to get better views. This helped me when I was fitting my SuperHitch Magnum to my new RAM 5500. That may have helped you with your installation too. I like the fact that most of their products do not require drilling or modification of your truck.

You can find the site here and you don't need a login if you skip that page and just go directly here;

http://www.torklift.com/restricted/customerservice.php

Once there, you can just scroll down until you find the manual you are looking for, or, use your browser 'find' or search feature and type in the name or designation of the product you want the manual for. For example, a search of D1102 will get you to the link for the superhitch manual for late model Dodge trucks.

I installed my SuperHitch today on my new RAM 3500 which I had removed from my 2013 RAM 3500.

Before I started the install, I went to the Torklift website to refresh my understanding of the installation procedure. I encountered the login page and said "what the heck" and just went out to the shop and started the install.

I couldn't find the wire to fish the bolts through the frame so I made my own out of some stainless steel welding wire. The "fun" part was on Wednesday when I "unfished" (removed) the bolts from the 2013 frame. Once again, I built my fishing line from stainless steel welding wire with a hook on the end and was able to recover all the bolts and thick square washers.

When I was wrapping up the install, I saw two extra bolts. I found where they were needed - it would have been helpful to have installed them second in order.

All-in-all everything went real smooth and my new truck has the tie down, SuperHitch, and StableLoads installed.
