These tie-downs mount directly to your truck’s frame, giving your camper a stable, low-centered ride that feels steady even on long hauls. Because the camper’s weight is distributed evenly across the frame, you avoid that top-heavy sway that can make driving uncomfortable in crosswinds or over uneven roads. The result is a safer, more controlled trip with your camper riding as solidly as if it were built into the truck.
The setup uses pre-existing holes in the frame so there’s little to no drilling needed. Each bracket bolts up tight for a secure fit that keeps your truck’s structure intact and your ground clearance nearly unchanged. The custom design makes installation straightforward, so you can get the tie-downs mounted and go without cutting or modifications.
When you’re not hauling your camper, just remove the tie-down arms and you’ll hardly notice the brackets underneath. They sit tucked close to the frame, staying out of sight and keeping your truck looking clean. It’s an easy way to have a strong mount when you need it without changing how your truck looks when you don’t.

Durability matters when your gear faces weather, dirt, and road wear day after day. These tie-downs are made of steel and finished with a high-impact powder coat that adds extra protection against chips and corrosion. That means they hold up through years of travel without weakening or rusting out on you.
Each tie-down arm includes two pin holes and multiple anchor options so you can fine-tune how it connects to your turnbuckles. This gives you clearance for fenders or sidewalls and lets you adjust tension for a snug fit that keeps your camper solidly in place from multiple angles.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today we're going to take a look at these forklift talent custom frame mounted aluminum front camper tie downs. These tie downs provide attachment points at the front of your truck bed for securing a bed mounted camper. Now these are going to fit various versions of the 1999 to 2010 Ford F250, F350, and F450 Super Duty. To confirm that these are going to fit your truck, take advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com and input the year, make, and model of your truck and our website, our fit guide at our website, will let you know if these tie downs will work for your truck, or if we have something comparable that will work for you.
Now, the frame mounted design ensures excellent handling because securing your camper to your truck's base, instead of its bed, better distributes the weight to keep your setup from being too top heavy. The brackets fit tight to your truck's frame. So there's not going to be any loss of ground clearance and the rust-proof and lightweight aluminum alloy tie downs are going to insert to these durable stainless steel receiver brackets. Now these inserts can be easily removed from these frame mounted brackets. I'm just going to go ahead and remove one of the bale pins here.
And as you can see, the insert slides right out. And again, being aluminum, it's very lightweight but very rugged, as well. So this is going to be very easy to take the inserts and maybe throw them in the rear of your truck cab and they can be there and ready to use when you next need them. But they're not going to be any trouble whatsoever to remove these. I do want to point out that this does come with vinyl caps that are included to cover the front of the receivers to keep out dirt and grime.
And also foam plugs that insert into the rear of the brackets to keep out dirt and grime, as well. So as you can see, you can remove the insert, put the cap on. It's going to keep the inside of that receiver clean. And these tie downs are going to be virtually undetectable when they are not in use. Now I do want to point out on the inserts, there are two different holes.
And if your camper is a little bit wider, you can just use this first hole on the insert to have the tie down stick out a little bit farther. If your camper is a little bit narrower, you can move it into this second hole. And that's what I'm going to do here, is just slide that all the way into the second hole, line up the holes here, run that bale pin through, and that is going to secure it in place. These bale pins, as I mentioned, are going to secure these inserts into the brackets, giving you a nice secure connection point for your turn buckles. The high impact powder-coated finish is going to add an extra layer of protection to the brackets and the inserts. And you're going to get everything that you see here on the table before me. You're going to get two front tie down inserts, the frame brackets, the necessary hardware for installation, along with instructions to guide you through step-by-step on the installation process. Now, again, these are front camper tie downs. The rear ones are sold separately. But if you are in need of the rear ones, as well, just go through our fit guide here at etrailer.com to find the ones that will fit your truck. These are made in the USA and they do have a lifetime warranty. Well, that's going to conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

It definitely is safe the way you have them, Paul! In a perfect world, the turn buckles would be perfect vertical, but this an imperfect world and not all campers have the attachment points in the same place. If you take a look at some of the installed pictures on the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK page, you can see most of them are at an angle. It's perfectly normal. Are you running any suspension enhancement on your Silverado?

Install looks great, Megan! Especially for it only taking two hours! They were moving. : ) Happy we confirmed what you found as well. Tie downs can be a pain in the rear with all the options out there. Now I do have to ask though, have you guys thought about any kind of suspension enhancement for the rear axle? It's a little hard to tell, but it looks like the back is sagging a bit in your last picture.

A year later and I would not do anything different. Absolutely the best system available especially paired with the fast guns. The camper is solid mounted and does not move. Yet can still be off loaded in just a few minutes. Remember good stuff isn’t cheap and cheap stuff isn’t good.

A year later, no issues with tie downs, except normal wear and tear and metal to metal wearrust progression. These tiedowns are designed great and fit function was clearly created by someone who knows not only design but install ! E-trailer is “the” place to buy rv, camper, towing etc products - the install videos are sooooo helpful ! Thx ET !
