Can the Brophy Cable Camper Jacks Lift a Camper Shell

Published 10/11/2017

Question:

We recently bought an A.R.E. aluminum camper shell for our 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 pick up that has light all-terrain tires on it. It is a light shell....only weighs 135 lbs. ....but may difficult two people to move on and off our truck. Will this product work for us? If not, please recommend one that will. Thanks.

As long as the bed rails on your truck are not more than 57" from the ground then you could certainly use the Brophy Cable Camper Jacks part # CJ31 to lift the camper shell up from your truck bed. Once lifted, you could just simply drive away and the camper shell will be left standing. This is certainly not the intended purpose of these cable jacks but if it were my camper, I would want two jacks on each side for support.
