Wayne,
Any chance you post a picture of the extensions?
Thanks

I will have to take a photo tomorrow. I have out of town company, so it may be late afternoon before I can post them.
My Bigfoot is a 11.5 foot 1988 1500 (non-basement).
Sory it took so long to get back to you on this. I had additional out of town company.
I'm understanding you wanted a photo of the TC tie down extension. It is 1-1/2" thin wall tubing that slips inside the Torque lift bracket. It does have one bend. I chose to cut and weld for the bend. As you can see from the photo, you can make it as short or long as you wish.
As you can see in this photo, I could have angled the extension more toward the back, but it was not needed.
Not the best photo, but gives an idea on the clearance.
I did have an issue opening my rear doors if on uneven ground. Depending on which side the truck frame flexed, the door would rub on the cabover of the TC. I needed to raise the TC between 1/4" and 1/2". I put two layers (strips) of 3/4-inch thick horse stall mat to raise the TC 1-1/2". The horse stall mat was also needed after I installed the rails for my 5th wheel hitch. The photo above if before the horse stall mats,
I have not owned this truck very long, and I am in the process of setting it up. So far, all is going well. Setup to haul my 11.5 foot Bigfoot while flat towing my Suzuki Samurai, or can pull my 19-foor fifth wheel.
