Hey Ryan! You're going to need the TorkLift tie-downs if you want the frame mounted option. Those kick-out steps occupy the same space as the tie-downs. Removing the steps will allow you to install the # TL59ZV you were looking at without any issues so that is what I recommend.

These are designed for the 6-1/2' bed with wheel to wheel running boards and a factory hitch, or an 8' bed crew cab with the same configuration. You will also need turnbuckles like the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles for Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs # TLS9529-2-LK to complete your setup.

What kind of camper do you have?

Ryan, I also have a Ram 2500 and had to remove the step to accommodate the frame mount. Not a big deal as we have to remove the tailgate to also accommodate the camper. To make it easier to get into the bed when the tailgate is back on I added a tailgate step/ladder.

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…

Thanks for the picture Brian! I am sorry though the Malone SUP Storage Rack item #MPG384 isn't going to work. Those are designed to be hung on the wall. They're not rated to be bolted to the side of your camper and driven down the highway.…

The 6-pole sockets that we carry can only handle up to 12 gauge wire so the only way to really swap away from Lance's proprietary connector would be to treat it like a standard camper and switch to a junction box and 7-way connector like parts…

If you'd be willing to cut off the Lance connectors and wire in 6-ways or 7-ways in place of them we can help, but at this time only Lance can get you that specific connector. You could use the part #A7WCB with the #PK12-707E and you'd have a…
