Do any of you Ram 3500 owners have the Ram dually adapter kit for your truck camper? Is it necessary for 4th gen Rams or is it only a necessity for the 03 to 09 Rams? Torklift's website is very vague about it.
2 seconds on google brought whole list of results I think THIS pdf. shows it the best. The need probably will need to be determinate once you load the camper.
I had fender clearance issues with the Bigfoot on the 2018 RAM. I called Bigfoot about using eyebolts on the camper mounts. It was OK by them, so I used 1/2" machinery shouldered eyebolts to move the attachment point out. I also talked to Torklift. They told me to drill new holes for the truck attachment extensions 1" farther inboard so the extensions will stick farther out. There was a lot of back and forth on this forum about it. Apparently Torklift watches this forum and I got an email asking if I wanted a relocation kit for free. Sure. So they sent me one. It took forever for me to install it. New grandkids and back issues. It was a relatively easy install. Drilling the holes in their steel was a bit tough. It moves the attachment points farther rearward. If you have a camper mounting point that is getting weak it will stiffen it up some by securing it to the other point on that side of the camper. I would drill the truck extensions 1" back and see where you are. Thanks for kit Torklift!

I could run the rear tiedown pushed in so pin went through inside hole, or pulled out with pin through outside hole. but I always used the outside hole to keep the fastguns further away from body if camper moved.
Plus I used to have pipe isolation on the rear tie downs so they did not hit my body when I went to remove them.

The anchor point locations vary on the campers which can lead to interference with the fender. Narrower campers are also an issue on a DRW. The offset kit is for those cases, but I have not seen a list of specific campers that have interference issues with DRW trucks.
All depends on your setup. I have a 2003 and I don't use the kit. Maybe if you post your truck and camper info someone might have the same set up and tell you if they use it.
