SuperTruss companion hitch installation
OK, we are about to pull the trigger on a MINT 2011 Lance 1181 and I need to make double D sure I get the correct gear to mount it with.
The owner now has Happijack tiedowns that bolt inside the pick up box that require drilling and THAT ain't gonna happen w/my new 3500 Ram!!
The fronts, no problem, the rears, however, I would sure like to see some pictures from you good folks of the Torklift SuperHitch Companion installed as I want to get the correct brackets to fit it as well as their SuperTruss, which will be bought later.
I cannot for the life of me, from looking at the pictures on E-Bay of the D1104, which the ST folks say I will need, bolts to my existing OEM class 5 hitch.
I suspect it somehow bolts to the inside or outside of the frame AHEAD of the OEM hitch??? Also, does this interfere with the spare tire location, which raises another burning question....How in the world do you access the spare sould the need arise, with the camper and hitch installed??
Are there any decent looking front bumper mount racks for the spare??
Looking forward to what anyone may have in the way of advice and/or pictures. Am I correct in my assumption that the S/T assly mounts IN FRONT of the OEM unit??
