Leitner Designs Active Cargo System - FORGED - RAM Truck Bed Rack

Unleash Your RAM's Full Potential with the Ultimate Heavy-Duty Bed Rack!

Conquer Any Terrain: Built for Your RAM, Engineered for Adventure

The Leitner Designs ACS FORGED is the apex of truck bed rack technology, born from 5 years and hundreds of thousands of grueling off-road miles. Introduced in late 2019, the ACS FORGED takes the legendary durability, modularity, and customizability of the original ACS Classic and elevates it into a sleek, next-generation package.

Proudly engineered and manufactured in Corona, California, this system is built to "Carry Our World" on your RAM truck.

Solve Your RAM Truck's Cargo Limitations:

RAM truck owners often face the dilemma of needing secure, accessible storage for gear while maintaining bed flexibility for large items. Generic racks can sag, rattle, and limit access. The ACS FORGED addresses these pain points with its extreme load-carrying capability and innovative features like the patented sliding load bar, allowing you to easily load oversized cargo when needed, and secure it all for the toughest trails. Stop compromising and start adventuring with confidence!

  • Extreme Load Capacity: Reinforced with single-piece aluminum alloy uprights for superior strength.
  • Patented Sliding Load Bar: Easily load large items like motorcycles or bikes with a twist of a knob (U.S. Patent 9586629).
  • Vibration-Proof Fasteners: Custom Grade 10.9 black Zi-Ni coated bolts, pre-coated with Loctite, prevent loosening under extreme vibration.
  • Designed for RAM: Perfectly fits specific RAM 1500, 2500, and 3500 models (see compatibility below).

Prop 65

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
