Expert Answers about Ram 3500


  • Is There A Replacement Pin Box For The Lippert Rhino Box
  • The new Rhino Box from Lippert currently has no replacements so you won't be able to swap out this pin box with a Sidewinder to add more turning clearance. Because of this you'll have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in your 6.5' bed to help prevent the nose your 5th wheel from coming into contact with the cab of your 2021 Ram 3500. Unfortunately since you have RamBoxes you will not be be able to tow a 5th wheel without using a rotating pin box and would not be able to tow a trailer with...

  • 7-Way Trailer Plug Adapter or Compatibility with Lance Slide-In Truck Bed Camper
  • Lance does have a proprietary plug, but many customers see a standard 6-way or 7-way round and notice it doesn't fit their factory 7-way as well. I've attached an article to help if you have one of the 7-way or 6-way round connectors which we do have adapters for. If you have a 7-way round, then you will use adapter # 47595. If you have a 6-way plug then you will use adapter # 47549 or # PK12728. If you have the special Lance plug, I recommend replacing it with # A7WCB which would directly...

  • Will the Reese Goose Box Fit a Flatbed Truck with Recessed Hitch Ball and Side Tool Boxes
  • I have attached some dimensional drawings of the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter part # RP85FR for you which should then help you get a good idea as to whether or not you will have issues with the tool boxes and recessed hitch ball on your flatbed. However, it wouldn't really be possible to give you a definite yes or no answer as there are just too many factors involved. I will say that the closer you are able to get the hitch ball to the floor of the flatbed,...

  • Lippert Center Point Trailer Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade Kit LC1565391
  • The Lippert Center Point Trailer Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade Kit # LC1565391 will give performance similar to a factory system but much better than standard equalizers because it absorbs impacts caused by road shocks and it provides a smoother ride and optimum brake efficiency. The installation requirements include that the trailer have a standard center hanger sized for a 1 3/4-wide leaf spring, with at least 2-1/2-inches from the equalizer hole to the top of the hanger and that it be...

  • How to Install Demco Hijacker Autoslide to 2022 Ram 3500 OEM Puck System
  • We have 2 different ways for you to adapt your 18K Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 to the puck system on your 2022 Ram 3500; you can use the Replacement Side Plates # DM99GV which replaces the side plates so the hitch installs directly to the pucks, or you can use the Rail Adapter # DM6099 which installs into the puck system and provides you with industry-standard rails that you'll fit your Hijacker to.

  • Can a B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch from a Chevy Silverado Fit a 2018 Ram 3500 Long Bed
  • The part number you provided, which in our system is # BWRVB3500, is just the replacement base for the standard Companion hitch which is # BWRVK3500. If they are selling just the base then you will also need the head which is # BWRVC3006. Your 2018 Ram 3500 would also need to have a B&W gooseneck hitch installed to use the Companion. For your truck it is # BWGNRK1314. If you have the factory installed gooseneck hitch then the Companion hitch and base listed above will not fit. Instead...

  • Recommended Full-Size Under Bumper Mud Flap For A 2023 Ram 3500
  • The difference between the different mud flaps under the Access Rockstar Commercial line is simply fitment. The correct mud flap for a 2023 Ram 3500 would be the Access Rockstar Commercial Grade Mud Flap # A92NG. There is also a optional trim kit # A45ZW available if you want to have a nicer look.

  • Are Side-Frame Mount Jacks Available With Different Gear Ratios
  • For that I recommend an electric jack set like the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set # UF17-943010 which has a combined 12,000 lbs of capacity, and offers 38" of lift.

  • Recommended RoadActive Suspension Kit For A 2022 Ram 3500 With Factory Air Suspension
  • This is actually something I have spoken to RoadActive Suspension about before and I can say for sure that there is no issue with the Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3613-HD fitting your 2022 Ram 3500 even with the Factory Air Suspension and single or dual rear wheels, so it's adaptable. These are also American made and are a pretty quick and easy install, so that's a big plus. However, this does not fit vehicles with factory top overload springs, so that is something to keep in mind.

  • Troubleshooting A Furrion Camera System That Switches To Side Cameras When The Brakes Are Applied
  • Based on what you're describing the side cameras of your Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ 3 Cameras # FCE48TASL-05 will do this for one of two reasons. You could possibly have the turn signal wire of the camera spliced into the brake light circuit, which triggers the side cameras to take over the monitor when the wire gets power. You could also have auto display turned on and the side camera was the last one paired to the system so it's reverting back to that camera...

  • Can I Use the Mopar M20 5th Wheel Hitch with a Reese Sidewinder?
  • Unfortunately the Mopar M20 hitch you have is the same hitch as the Curt Q20, which has a spherical axial bearing to improve the pivoting of the hitch head; because of this 360-degree pivot, it is not compatible with a pivoting pin box like the Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR. It is not possible to lock out the head with any type of wedge, so there would be two pivot points in the towing setup, which would not work. Because of the shorter bed in your 2019 Ram 3500, you do need either a sliding...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch for 2016 Ram 3500 With Factory Prep Package
  • I highly recommend part # C16046 for your 2016 Ram 3500 with the 6 1/2 foot bed. This hitch is designed for an 8 foot bed but your trailer already has a rotating pin box so this fix mounted fifth wheel hitch works for you. This hitch will also drop into your factory puck system so the installation is super easy and your air system isn't an issue either.

  • Will the DeeZee Red Label 5th Wheel Toolbox Part # DZ8560WB Fit a 2015 Ram 3500
  • I spoke to my contact at DeeZee and they informed me that the DeeZee Red Label 5th Wheel Toolbox part # DZ8560WB will work for your 2015 Ram 3500. As the top of the toolbox sits about 2" down from the top of the bed rails, most tonneau covers will work. However, in order to gain access to the toolbox I recommend using the TruXedo Deuce 2 Soft Tonneau Cover part # TX748901 since this is the only tonneau cover we have confirmed to fit your vehicle that will allow you to roll/fold the cover...

  • Correct Curt 5th Wheel Install Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500
  • The correct Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500 is part # C16430-204. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit is a custom bolt-on fit with no cutting or drilling required into the frame. If you don't already have a fifth wheel hitch, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140 is my recommendation because of the interlocking dual jaw system which has a tight grip on the king pin and works to reduce chucking and jarring.

  • Can the Factory Tailgate Camera Be Used with the Custom Third Brake Light Camera On a 2018 Ram 3500
  • Yes, the Custom Third Brake Light Camera for Factory Monitor part # 3460015 which is a fit for a 2018 Ram 3500 will still allow you to use your factory backup camera in the tailgate. That said, you could not display both cameras at the same time so you would need to switch back and forth between whichever one you needed at the time. In order to switch between cameras, you would simply use the switch that comes with the kit. I have attached an install video for you.

  • Will The EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH37FR Void The Ram Warranty?
  • The placement of the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH37FR will not restrict air flow into your intercooler or void your warranty on your 2022 Ram 3500. The area the receiver mounts is also the same area the front license plate will sit which would restrict any air flow far greater than the receiver. It also includes a bracket to easily remove the license plate if you are required to have a front license plate. The only way you would void your vehicle warranty is...

  • Can the Converter Section of a PD4045KA Be Upgraded to 60amps and Charge Lithium Batteries
  • To be completely honest, there really is not much of a need to upgrade to the Converter Section for Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power 4000 Series 60 Amp Power Center # PD4060CSV. It would also be more than just the converter section as well. You would need to upgrade the entire system to the Progressive Dynamics 4000 Series RV Converter w/ Charge Wizard # PD4060K because the DC section is rated a bit higher than the one in your Progressive Dynamics 4000 Series Mini RV Converter w/ Charge...

  • Recommended 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter for 2018 Ram 3500
  • The reason the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G is not recommended for use with factory-installed gooseneck prep packages on Fords from 2011-present and Ram from 2013-present is because they use a gooseneck ball that has a plastic handle on top (see photo) that folds into the hitch ball and the Convert-A-Ball # CAB-C5G has a nut on the inside that will damage the gooseneck ball. For that reason, if you wanted to use the Convert-A-Ball on your 2018 Ram 3500...

  • B and W Companion Hitch Solution for 2015 Ram 3500 with OEM Prep Package
  • The Companion hitch you have now is designed for a B and W gooseneck hitch which uses a hitch ball that has a square shank. If your current hitch has a round shank design that would indicate it's not a B and W hitch and you'd need something different. Can you let me know what brand of hitch your truck has? Are there possibly pucks around the gooseneck hole that a hitch could attach to?

  • What Air Bags do You Recommend for My 2022 Ram 3500 CA60 Chassis Cab?
  • I have an air bag solution for you. Unfortunately, if you have a 2022 Ram 3500 CA60 chassis cab, the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL # AL57531 will not fit. This is because these air bags are only designed for standard pickup models. However, we do have air bags that are confirmed to fit. The only option we have is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted # F2478. The Ride-Rites are designed for chassis cabs and fit both 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive models. With these air...
