Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
Verified Fitment
This slide fits the Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 with a 6.4-foot bed, model years 2002 through current. Fitment applies with or without the RamBox storage system — the 6.4-foot Ram bed interior accommodates the 73" x 48" platform regardless of RamBox configuration. This is the Contractor-tier equivalent of the Classic 10-7348-CLB, sharing the same platform with a higher capacity rating.
| Make | Model | Confirmed Years | Bed Length | RamBox | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ram | 1500 | 2002–current | 6.4 ft | With or without | Includes 2019–current Ram 1500 Classic body-on-frame |
| Ram | 2500 | 2002–current | 6.4 ft | With or without | |
| Ram | 3500 SRW | 2002–current | 6.4 ft | With or without | DRW — see Field 3 |
Fitment is bed-length dependent. Engine, fuel type, and drivetrain do not restrict this fitment. The 6.4-foot Ram bed accommodates the 73" x 48" platform with or without RamBox — unlike the 5.7-foot bed, which splits by RamBox. Confirm your bed length before ordering.

Critical Compatibility
| System / Condition | Interaction | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Ram 6.4-foot bed — RamBox does NOT split this SKU | Unlike the 5.7-foot Ram bed (where RamBox drives a different platform), the 6.4-foot bed fits the 73" x 48" platform with or without RamBox. Bedslide explicitly lists "w/ or w/out RamBox" for this application. | No action required — order normally for any Ram 6.4-foot bed. |
| Ram 3500 DRW | DRW rear axle configuration may affect wheel well intrusion vs. SRW. Not explicitly confirmed or excluded by Bedslide. | Text (469) 407-7538 before ordering if your Ram 3500 is a dually. |
| Tailgate with integrated step | Ram Multi-Function Tailgate and aftermarket step options may contact the slide when extended. | Purchase BSA-SPACEBLKIT if clearance is insufficient. Confirm during installation before finalizing mount position. |
| Spray-in / drop-in bedliners | Installation over bedliners not recommended per Bedslide. Liner thickness and surface vary. | Remove or modify liner before installation. |
| Tonneau covers and truck caps | No confirmed compatibility data. Cover clearance depends on profile and 4.5-inch deck height addition. | Verify with your cover manufacturer before ordering. |
No confirmed electrical, ADAS, air suspension, or OEM technology system conflicts for this product.
Installation Notes
Complexity: Intermediate. Dealer installation recommended by Bedslide.
Estimated time: Approximately 1 hour per Bedslide source data.
Install method: Drilled mount. Four ½-inch holes required in the truck bed floor. This is not a no-drill installation — it is a permanent bed modification.
Required tools:
| Tool | Required |
|---|---|
| Drill | Yes |
| ½-inch drill bit | Yes |
| Riv nut tool | Yes (included in hardware kit) |
| ½-inch socket and ratchet | Yes |
| ½-inch open-end wrench | Yes |
| Allen wrench | Yes |
| Tape measure | Yes |
| Marker | Yes |
What makes it complex:
- Drilling four ½-inch holes into the bed floor is permanent. Center the unit between wheel wells and confirm 1.5-inch clearance at the bulkhead before marking holes.
- Do not use air impact tools on riv nuts — hand-install only to avoid stripping.
- At 170 lb, a second person is required for safe positioning.
- Tailgate clearance must be confirmed before finalizing mount position — tailgate must close without contacting the Bedslide frame. BSA-SPACEBLKIT resolves clearance issues.
- Bedliner presence requires removal or adjustment before install.
Post-install: No alignment, calibration, or dealer visit required. Cycle the slide under partial load and confirm all locking positions engage before full-load use.
Shipping: 73-inch platform ships LTL freight. Residential delivery included. OFAS will contact you after order placement to coordinate delivery.
Common Questions
My Ram has a 5.7-foot bed — does this fit?
No. The 5.7-foot Ram bed uses a different platform. Without RamBox, the correct SKU is 15-6548-CGB (65" x 48"). With RamBox, the correct SKU is 15-6347-CGB (63" x 47"). The 73" x 48" platform is sized specifically for the Ram 6.4-foot bed. Measure your bed interior before ordering.
My Ram has RamBox and a 6.4-foot bed — does RamBox affect which SKU I need?
No — for the 6.4-foot Ram bed, RamBox does not change the SKU. Bedslide explicitly confirms the 73" x 48" platform fits the 6.4-foot bed with or without RamBox. This is the opposite of the 5.7-foot bed, where RamBox status forces a platform change.
Does this require drilling?
Yes — four ½-inch holes are required. This is a permanent bed modification. If your truck is leased, confirm with your leasing company before ordering. No confirmed no-drill kit exists for the Ram 6.4-foot bed application. Text (469) 407-7538 to confirm before ordering.
What is the difference between this and the Classic 10-7348-CLB?
Same 73" x 48" platform, same bearing configuration, same WeatherDeck deck. The difference is capacity: the Classic is rated 1,000 lb; the Contractor is rated 1,500 lb. The Contractor's structural components are rated higher to support the additional 500 lb. If your loads approach or exceed 1,000 lb, the Contractor is the correct tier.
Is there a 2,000 lb Heavy Duty option for the Ram 6.4-foot bed?
No confirmed Heavy Duty SKU exists for the 73" x 48" platform. The Heavy Duty tier is not available at this platform size. Text (469) 407-7538 if 2,000 lb capacity is a requirement — OFAS will confirm current availability before your order ships.
What is the warranty?
5-year standard warranty. Lifetime warranty available upon product registration with Bedslide. Register immediately after installation.
The Obsidian Take
This slide is for the 2002-and-newer Ram 1500, 2500, or 3500 owner with a 6.4-foot bed who moves loads between 1,000 and 1,500 lb and needs the capacity headroom the Classic doesn't provide. RamBox status is irrelevant — both configurations fit. The 73" x 48" platform is the correct size for the Ram 6.4-foot bed, and the Contractor tier is the correct capacity choice for demanding contractor and commercial work-truck use.
It is not for the Ram owner with a 5.7-foot bed — that application requires a different platform regardless of RamBox configuration. It is not for anyone needing 2,000 lb capacity — no Heavy Duty option exists at this platform size. And it is not for the buyer who needs full tailgate extension: the 75% extension is a fixed design characteristic of the Contractor tier. If 1,000 lb capacity is sufficient, the Classic (10-7348-CLB) delivers the same platform at a lower cost.
At 170 lb with cam-follower bearings, WeatherDeck composite decking, and a BedTrax T-slot organization system, this is a purpose-built contractor tool for the Ram 6.4-foot bed — not a universal short-bed accessory.
