Question:
What is the length of the body of the TorkLift FastGun Apex turnbuckle? I dont need to know the length with the allthread, just the main body. I have a tight application. I wanted to compare it to the length of the HappiJac Qwik-Loads body and if you know that, Id appreciate that number too.

Hey, Jim!
I took a trip out to the warehouse to get the measurement of the TorkLift FastGun Apex, part TL53SV, for you. From top of the hook to the bottom of the main body is about 16-1/4". The length without the hook at the top it's 14-3/8". Below are some pictures I attached of how I measured.
The 4th picture is of the HappiJac Qwik-Load body. I wasn't able to get to the HappiJac ones out in our warehouse so included a snip from our review video. Not the greatest of quality since its just a snip but the main body without the hook is about 11". That length will be the same regardless if they are the front part # LC182897 or the rear part # LC182896.
What in bed camper do you have, or getting? Also, looks like your a proud owner of a 25 Ram 5500? Congrats!

Hey Jim, did those measurements for the FastGun Apex and Qwik-Load bodies help you figure out what will fit your setup? Your feedback could really help others working with tight camper applications too.
