Designed for use with bed-mounted or bumper-mounted camper tie-downs, these heavy-duty turnbuckles make it easy to secure your camper to your truck bed. Stainless steel construction is durable and rustproof.Product working freat on a 2008 F350 CC Dually Long Bed, with a rather large Palomino Popup Slide In Cab Over Camper. Not sure the exact length, but hangs off the back about a foot and a half, wider than the rear tail lights of the truck. Hope that helps, and makes sense! I also use the happy jack bumper and front ear looking like tie down anchors on the truck.
Wrong part for the tie-downs I ordered. etrailer made the exchange without hesitation.
The turnbuckles fit perfectly and great quality.
Service was excellent. I ordered my parts Thursday evening and opted for next day shipping and they were on the porch before 9:30am friday.
The product has worked great, we have used these on our truck for almost a year and we have no complaints.
The items I ordered came in a timely fashion manner and as represented on line.
not real happy
Had to add a little chain but work perf ect!
The lock nuts did not fully tighten to the turnbuckle because the weld interfered with the nut before it could seat. The short rods were too short which necessitated a trip to Home Depot to fetch longer ones. I move it up one star because of fast delivery and consistent order ease with etrailer. But TorkLift your name and reputation is taking a bit of a beating with this product.
This first thing to know is that this review is for the TLS9020 as sold and delivered by etrailor on this date. This is important because the picture of the product on the etrailor site shows square section turnbuckle bodies as opposed to circular sectioned turnbuckle bodies as shown on the Torklift site.
The instruction booklet that is included does in fact show the circular turnbuckles so I am assuming the cicular ones are a newer model than the ones I recieved. For my need I much prefered the rectangular ones and I am very pleased to have recieved what the etrailor site pictured.
If you recieve the rectangular TLS9020 as I did there are a couple of small issues easily corrected. 1)the product is shipped with all stainless hardware except for the 1/2"
zinc plated square nuts that you are supposed to insert in the body of the derringer handle to attach the threaded rod. I replaced these with stainless stop nuts. 2) there was some amount of excess weld on the the handles that dis-allowed correct alignment of the stainless 1/2" threaded rod into the handle. Grind or cut some of the excess off to correct. 3)the long "front" labled turnbuckles are in fact springloaded but the short "rear" ones have no cushions. For my camper tie down application this was not an problem. 4)the little rubber o-rings which are a handy way to gauge the tension were not included. No big deal. Just go get some at your local hardware store.
These are minor issues for the quality you get. I have used all of the other products other manufacturers sell. Don't waste your money. The Torklift ones are the only way to go and more than worth the cost.
Very satisfied with the service.
We purchased these for our slide in truck camper. On our way to Montana, the screw came loose and the bottom portion of the turnbuckle fell off somewhere in the dust. Thankfully, the replacement part purchased at a local hardware store was only $xx. The nuts on these turnbuckles do need to be tightened during long drives, so that was done regularly. All in all, a good product.
