Torklift tiedown system for Ram DRW

Ok, We(DH and I) are taking the exciting plunge into becoming a members of the TC world!
We just purchased the truck and now the next item is to order our tiedowns and a new hitch system.
Alot of the time we will be towing either a 5,000lb boat or a 6,000lb trailer with a longer TC that will require a hitch extension. We have decided on the Torklift tiedowns and SuperHitch systems, but I am confused as to which hitch system the tiedowns should connect to, the factory hitch or SuperHitch? Are there advantages of using one over the other for the tiedowns?
  • Ok, I took your advice and called, they said I should order the tiedowns that attach to the SuperHitch since once that is on the truck it will limit the access to factory hitch.

    Thanks, Laura
  • Yes, if you have any questions just give them a call or shoot them an email.

    The SuperHitch and the rear tiedowns are meant to go together, so if you get the Superhitch, you will end up getting the matching tiedowns that bolt to the sides of the hitch.

    When in doubt, just give them a jingle, they're made in America right here in the PNW near Seattle. Good people to talk to.
