Looking to order a '17 Ram 3500 Dually with air assist and trying to figure out if anybody has Torklift tie downs with this setup? I tried searching but didn't come up with anything.It appears there is a problem with the front tie downs working because of the air compressor placement. After calling Torklift, they just said they could probably make something work at their shop but wanted to hear what some real world owners thought/experienced.Have read quite a bit about the air assist with truck campers but still would think that the non air suspension with Stable Loads and maybe a larger rear stabilizer would be just fine as well. That's a different discussion though!Thanks.

Just call Torklift and ask. They will be glad to talk to you.

my 2015 Ram, something changed on the frame on RF and what I bought would not work. that "we can probably make it work" turned into a brand new different RF mount next day into my garage. and it worked Perfect (but they forgot to ship the bolts). I was in a hurry to leave, so I ran to hardware store and bought my own bolts.

I put these on my 2016 last march, no issues. You just slide it down the frame a couple inches to clear the compressor. By the way, I love the air assist when towing the fiver or hauling the TC. Or running empty. Going to pick up my new Host next week.

Thanks for the responses. towpro, have you been happy with your air assist? How heavy is your camper? Would love to see a comparison on sway between the non air 3500 suspension and the air assist, with all other things being the same.zb39, we are looking to order a Host Mammoth as well. Been wanting to do this for about 4 years now! Will be watching your upcoming posts on yours.Do you remember what your part # was for the front tie downs?

I have a 2017 Megacab dually with factory air suspension, I ordered the 2016 front Torklift Talons because they weren't available for the 2017 yet and they fit with no mods. I did have to move the air compressor when they installed the Amp power steps but it came with a kit for that. I transferred the SuperTruss from my 2014 Ram to my 2017 Ram and the rear TorkLift tie downs are integrated into the SuperTruss.
