Will these fit a 2026 Ram 3500 crew cab with air auto leveling? The air tank sits close to the rocker panel on the passenger side.

Congrats on the new truck Tom! I checked with Westin and their HDX Nerf Bars with Drop Steps item # 56-13565 will indeed install on your new 2026 Ram 3500 crew cab without issue. The brackets are designed to fit with the air tank. Installing them will not require removing or relocating the air suspension tank.
I see you got all set up with camper tie downs item # TL67XV and a TorkLift hitch item # TLD1111-30 last month. What kind of camper do you have and do you plan on towing behind it?

Thanks Jerrod for tracking down that info about the air tank! Yes, I ordered the Torklift Talon tie down kit for my 2026 Ram 3500. I am packing around an Arctic Fox 990 slide-in camper. I also ordered the Torklift Super Hitch 30k. It mounted up perfectly! I will be pulling a Ranger boat, FS621. I also have a 32’ Diamond C FMax210 dove tail trailer for moving around some heavy loads on occasion. All of the Torklift products I have used so far have performed as advertised.
