@RAM5500 CAMPERTHING Im still looking at Kelderman, another question for you about your experience: do you set the psi and forget all about it? Or do you adjust pressure based off the road? For example the twisty decent on i8 going east, vs flat interstate vs secondary roads vs dirt roads? How...

Like you said @RAM5500 CAMPERTHING the 3500 floor mats fit perfectly. These are the regular cab mats in the front of our crew cab 5500, incase anyone else was wondering... I didn't need a mat for the rear. My HDPE should be arriving today and then hopefully I can start on my bed this week.

Looks cool, curious why you dont rip the bed off and make it a flatbed? Look at all that wasted space and effort building to a stock bed shape.

2017 Winnebago Era 170a 4x4 sprinter 85k miles, renogy house batteries, title in hand, resides in nw montana(but travels to oregon frequently). Id have no concern about jumping in this today and heading across the country. Windshield has a crack(doesnt effect view), couple small paint chips(its...

@RAM5500 CAMPERTHING So after about 2 years'ish, how are those tires holding up? How many miles you have on them? Will you replace with the same Contis when it's time? Boxes look awesome, I was going to order some readily available stock Buyers boxes for our 5500 build but I may wait for some...

Thanks, just what I needed.

Our 5500 should be here in a few weeks and Im trying to wrap up some details for the bed material. The fuel filler and cap on yours looks like it fits pretty perfectly into that c channel. Is that 4" c channel?

@bigeyedfish @Oscar Mike Gulf Yankee Some good ideas! But since this is my work truck, no need for a h2o tank or other good camping gear. I ordered the highway products slideout(true 8’). I may build the drawers on top of it or we’ll see once its in my possession….

Just re-read your thread again. Looks like the Kelderman and some of the subframe mounts/guide plates are living in close proximity to each other, any particular issues they ran into with that? Is the def filler neck attached to the subframe? We have a similar truck on order and working out a...

Ive definitely thought about that but work is so insanely busy right now, Im leaning toward the ‘bought not built‘ solution for this one. But I may have to build it to get what I want….

It’s a 2 foot gap not inches(6’ decked into 8’ bed)… but yeah on the bed slide. Heres a smaller bed version. https://decked.com/blogs/decked/truck-bed-slides-vs-decked-drawers#close-popup

Thinking about trying to get my work truck abit more organized. Ive been looking at the decked system a bit more, but wondering… 06 ram 2500 8’ longbed, their system fits but the drawers are about 6’ long leaving a 2’ gap at front of bed. They make a crossover toolbox to fit that gap but I have...

Lots of good info in this thread. Did you end up running a power switch for your arb air compressor off the factory aux switches? From my initial studies those oem switches look very easy to hook up. True?? Are those gauges and panel in front of the cup holders on the center console(dont have...

looks great! Do you think the springs are adequate stiffness?

-Thanks for the real world experience with the Kelderman install, looks like I better bust my hump at work abit more over the next few weeks so I can order the Kelderman settup before installing the flatbed...
