Question:
Hello, I am building a flatbed for my dually truck that will be wider then the camper. I will have tie locations welded directly to the flatbed which will be mounted to the frame of the truck. I am thinking about using 4 of these front replacement happijac turnbuckles because they are spring loaded. Is there any reason I shouldnt be using 4 of these when mounted to a fixed location? I notice the 4 pack they sell comes with 2 front spring loaded turn buckles and 2 rear non-spring loaded. My thought is that spring-loaded will probably be best to cause less stress on the camper when bouncing around. Any ideas, clarification, or information would be much appreciated! Thanks for your help!

Assuming the tie down locations of your flat bed truck are built strong enough there's no reason you couldn't use turnbuckles like the Happijac Original Turnbuckles part # LC182901 that you referenced. Or for the spring loaded version the part # LC182897 for front and # LC182896 for rear.
