Can TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles Be Used on Rear Bumper Mount Tie-Downs

Updated 10/21/2019 | Published 10/19/2019

Question:

Can I use these turnbuckles with bumper mounts on the rear? The distance is 29” on the rear attachment point on the camper to the bumper hook. Front is frame mount with 39” spread. Front and rear attachment points on truck pictures are attached. Thanks!

Since you need a larger extension than normal for the bumper-mounted camper tie-downs on your Ram, the TorkLift FastGun Turnbuckles # TLS9522-2-LK that you referenced will work well (for both the front and rear). These have a reach of 25" to 43" so they have enough length for both the frame-mounted tie-downs at the front and the bumper-mount units at the rear.

This kit includes all 4 turnbuckles along with keyed-alike pins to help protect your investment. I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out as well.
