Get the safest and most comfortable ride while hauling your camper with tie-downs that mount on the frame of your pickup. Great for your truck's looks: remove the arms from the brackets and you'll hardly know that the brackets are there.
Features:
If you're looking for the best tie-downs for your camper, frame-mounted is the way to go. The frame is the most solid part of your entire vehicle, so it just makes sense to attach your camper to something that's not going to warp, bend, or twist. Even more importantly, the camper's center of gravity will sit lower and its weight will be spread across the entire bed. This avoids a top-heavy load perched on top of your bed rails that's liable to sway and get pushed around by crosswinds. The camper's not going to shift or slide around while you drive; it's going to stay put, and your truck is going to handle just like it does without a camper.
Quick Tip: If you have a plastic or spray-in bed liner, it's important that you use a rubber mat under the camper to eliminate any sliding or bouncing.
Frame-mounted tie-downs are also a great pick for preserving your truck's good looks. The brackets install on the frame, tucked nearly flush with the underside of the vehicle. Remove the arms from the brackets when you're not hauling your camper, and the brackets will be barely visible.
Completely custom to your vehicle, the tie-downs attach to exisiting holes in your frame so that there's little to no drilling and no need for any modifications. Because they're custom, you'll want to use our in-house application guide to make sure you get the exact right model. The tie-downs you need might be different depending on what type of hitch or other accessories you have.
Once the tie-downs are installed, use a set of turnbuckles (sold separately) to secure the camper to the tie-downs. The shank on each arm has 2 pin holes so you can choose how far out they extend, that way the turnbuckles can reach the anchors on your camper without making contact with your truck. Tighten the turnbuckles to the correct level of tension (not too tight!).
Make sure the anchor points are offset from the tie-downs instead of lined up with them so that they will hold your camper from multiple angles. This is important for keeping your camper from shifting. Two holes in the attachment plate of the tie-downs let you find the best angle for you camper anchors.

Today on this 2008 Toyota Tundra Crew Cab Max, we're going to show you Part Number TLT2304. This is a TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs for the front of a truck. A few things to know about these tie-downs, that they provide separate attachment points for the front of your truck bed, left and right side, for securing a bed-mounted camper. Now, the rear tie-downs are sold separately. This does mount to the frame, and when it's not in use, the inserts are completely removable. This is our insert here. We're looking at the driver's side and it has two holes in it for your tie-downs that go up to your camper.
So, you see it goes back into the frame bracket right here. There's a quick-release pin right here, pull it apart, and you can even adjust it. You have two settings that you can use, and we also have about 5/8 of an inch of distance between the body and the insert. Go ahead and remove it out of the way. With the insert out of the way, if we can go ahead and show you the frame bracket.
The frame bracket mounts up at two points, use an existing hole up on top of the spring hanger. It goes through the frame, uses 1/2 inch hardware, and then it actually reuses this spring bolt right here. It attaches on the inside edge of the spring. It also the backside. It also uses all the factory hardware. This is what our driver's side looks like.
Now, I'll go ahead and show you how the passenger side installs. First off, we'll go ahead and loosen up this bolt. Now, we don't remove it, we just loosen it up. We'll go ahead and undo the nut on this side first, and we'll need to use a 19-millimeter socket and possibly a wrench on this side to hold the bolt in place. Then, what we'll do next, is go ahead and unthread the bolt out a little bit, probably about 1/2 inch to 5/8 of an inch, to give us working room to put the bracket in place. Now, this is going to be pretty tight, so probably we want our breaker bar to loosen up this nut.
There's a washer on here; it needs to stay in place. Let's go ahead just back out the bolt, probably about like I said, about 5/8 of an inch. Now we've got this prepared, we'll go ahead and show you the other hole that the bracket uses. This hole on top will be our second mounting point. Now, I did clean it up. There are some sharp edges that bolts can hang up on. I used a 9/16 drill bit just to help clean it out, and that was it. Not really necessary, but sometimes bolts do hang up on the edges. All right, let's go ahead and put our bracket in place. This may be a tight fit, so let's go ahead a rubber mount to help work it in place. All right, and once you've popped it into place over this here, it took considerable force to pop it up. Possible a bottle jack might help push it up as well. Then, I'm using an alignment tool; This can be like a thick screwdriver to help get to the last point, moving around to line up the hole. Then, we'll go ahead and run our hardware from the inside to the outside. We'll install a long hex bolt, a large, flat washer, put those two together, run it through your square hole in the frame right here, and then out through our bracket. Now, still under a little bit of a bind, we can go ahead and use that to our advantage. Let's go ahead and thread the bolt through and the threads will come out. One additional tool that the kit comes with is this bolt leader right here. Basically, on the driver's side, this will help you pull the bolt from the inside to the outside. Essentially, you just thread it on to the end of a bolt, now the threads of our bolt will get a flat washer and a nut. We'll go ahead and run our bolt back through the other side and reinstall the factory nut. Now, the manufacturer recommends you use Loctite and reinstall the factory nut. We'll be using Part Number LT37643, Loctite Blue Stick Threadlocker. Okay, with all our hardware loosely installed, we can go ahead and tighten down the bolts down for good. Now, we're going to tighten up the top bolt. We'll go ahead and put a wrench to hold the place on this side. Now, on a driver's side, when you do that, you'll need a deep well socket for that, and you'll have to reach up like this to get access to it. With our bracket installed on the passenger side, we'll go ahead and install the insert, line up the holes, and put in the clip. All right, that will finish it for our install, Part Number TLT2304, TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs for the front on our 2008 Toyota Tundra Crew Cab Max. .

Guidelines are clear therefore should be no problem. Shipping time was however longer then expected due to the fact that the item was not on shelf and needed to be ordered. This might be due to the fact that there are probably not that many request for tie-downs which fit the Toyota Tundra Trucks.
The front tie down mounts did not fit my 2008 Toyota Tundra SR5 5.7 L V8.The problem is that the bump stops attached to the rear cab mount bolts are in the way. That is something that cannot be removed permanently to accomodate the tie downs. The arm that bolts higher on the frame needs to be bent at a greater angle to fit both the frame and the cab Mount bushing.The rear fit perfectly.
Second purchase of these torklifts from etrailer. As always, excellent service and super fast shipping. Tie downs are for a 13 Tundra, these mount a lot easier than my Ram 2500.
Fast shipping, quality product, simple installation
Easy install. A impact and a 19mm wrench made quick work of this job, overall about 10min per side with OEM hitch
They hold on well so that campers doesn’t fly off.
Easy to install. Good fit
Works great. Fits truck. Fast free shipping
The units appeared to be well made and were nicely painted. I installed them on my F150. The tools and hardware supplied were of good quality and installation was straight forward. Two people would have been great, but I was able to install both sides in a little less than an hour. The holes all line up very well. I like these better than the previous units I had on my 2013, as they do not stick out as far - so less noticeable. The extension arms come out at a very nice angle just under the body. I find these units with quality I expected and I think they will be highly functional in attaching my camper.
I had the mountings professionally attached to the frame. The hatches can be easily removed when not in use( and I would recommend that to keep them from being stolen). Using chains and turnbuckles, I feel very comfortable with my truck camper staying where it is.. does not rock, very solid.
It’s nice to feel secure about my camper staying firmly attached.
It was worth the investment.
They do exactly what you think they'd do. I actually had to swap them from one truck to another (went from an double cab to a crew cab) and TorkLift actually sent me a whole new hardware kit. The hardest part is fishing the bolt/nut setup on the driver's side as the gas can is in the way, other than that it's easy peasy.
A little tougher to install than the front ones but not too bad. Torklift tie downs are very well made, tried he bumper attached one but I guess bumpers aren't what they used to be I saw bending at the tie down after one trip. So bought these. Entrailer as usual priced well and fast shipping.
The product was easy to install, a bit awkward with only one person on the front tie downs but if you had an extra set of hands then that problem would be solved.
The top bolt hole on the front passenger side was out by about 1/8" but I resolved that by being able to get a drill on the inside of the frame and drilling through that way to allow the bolt to go through both truck frame and tie down. If it had been on the driver's side then it may have been an issue with the gas tank in the way. All is now installed and ready to go,
Tommy C recommended the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs. The Instructions are great and very easy to follow. They supply some cool wire helpers to hold bolts in the frame for you. All went very smoothly and a very secure. I love how solid the Camper feels on the truck.

Front and rear tie downs came in two separate boxes. Back tie down box was fine but front tie down box was broken open with one of the T bolts hanging out. Fortunately both T bolts were in the box. There have been numerous reviews about bad packaging and parts missing and beat up so I think whoever is packaging these parts should take heed and do a better job. The rear tie downs went on fine with the help of the video instructions. The front however were harder and required me to grind down the T bolts so they would fit correctly (see pictures). I also had to enlarge the elongated holes to get the bolt in. Also the order of the instructions was in my mind incorrect. I installed the angled bracket supports first and then the main brackets. My recommendation would be to post a video of the installation procedures like they did for the back tie downs. All the parts were well made except the front T bolts and I am hopeful that they will last a long time. The pricing in my mind is high but they appear to be the only game in town so it is what it is. I do recommend these as they seem very strong and well designed.
Got the tie-downs today. Shipped quickly. There is an extrusion ridge on the inside of the square tubing my hitch was made from. I had to file that out. Once done, everything slipped together like an Erector-Set project. Whole thing took 20 minutes. Very pleased.
I bought both the front and rear tie-downs for my old Lance truck camper on a 2023 Ford F-250. Once installed they work great; very heavy duty. But the thing I liked most was the detailed instructions for installation. Everything needed came with the tie-downs and they were perfectly fitted to my F-250. All I needed was my old torque wrench. Installation probably took less than 2 hours.
The package arrived very quickly and intact. I have a 2020 Ford F250 SD Lariat short bed with a factory hitch. The tie-downs were really easy to install although the hitch adapter plate (see attached photo) which is supposed to attach to the end of the tie-down would not fit inside the tubing on my factory installed hitch so I installed without it and it is tight and snug
Easy to install. Took less than an hour with no helper. They are very sturdy and I expect them to last.
2020 RAM 3500 with OEM hitch.
Great quality product. Arrived on time. Drivers side took a little longer because of fuel tank skid plate removal. Overall very sanitary application.
TLN3404 installed on 2016 Titan XD. Very sturdy product, hardware was short by (2) 1/2” flat washers, (6 shown on instructions, 4 in package)no big deal there. Install goes fast with an impact gun. 3/4”(19mm) and 17mm sockets plus a 3/4 wrench req. tip: if you have a small magnet, width of a pencil, you can easily capture the flange nuts. My driver’s side clears the 6” exhaust tip by a 1/4”, should be fine. Directions are straightforward.

After I installed the tie-down on my Tundra on my own, thanks to the clear and easy to understand instructions I drove many miles on Fwys, mountain roads etc. . The best of all, I am clearing the back bumper the way it should. The springs are fantastic. I feel save to have the ForkLift on my camper!!!! Thanks for a great product.
