These custom-fit, frame-mounted tie-downs keep your camper steady and your truck handling just like it should. By connecting directly to the frame—the strongest part of your vehicle—they spread the camper’s weight evenly and lower the center of gravity. That means less sway and no top-heavy feel in crosswinds or on uneven roads, even during long-distance hauls.
The tie-down brackets mount tight to the frame and sit nearly flush underneath, so they’re hardly visible. When you’re not hauling, just remove the arms and you’ll barely notice the brackets at all. It keeps your truck looking clean without bulky hardware hanging down.
These tie-downs attach using pre-existing holes in the frame for a truly bolt-on install with little to no drilling. Because there’s no cutting or modification needed, your frame stays intact and the tie-downs mount tight with minimal loss of ground clearance. It’s a simple job that makes it easy to gear up and go.
Made from durable steel and finished with a high-impact powder coat, these tie-downs are built to handle road spray, rough weather, and long miles without rusting or weakening. The strong welds and solid build give you confidence that your camper is secure every mile of the trip.
Each arm has two pin holes so you can extend it as needed to clear sidewalls or fenders. The attachment plate also gives you two anchor holes so you can fine-tune how your turnbuckles line up with your camper’s anchors. That flexibility helps secure your load from multiple angles for a safer, tighter hold.

Today we're going to take a look at the Torklift custom rear frame-mounted camper tie-downs. Now these are a custom fit part. They are designed to fit the 2013 and newer Dodge Ram and Ram 1500 trucks with the 5-1/2 foot bed or the 6-1/2 foot bed. And because it fits so many different vehicles, I do recommend just to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle and it'll show if these will work for your application. Now these tie-downs provide the attachment points at the rear of your truck for securing your bed mounted camper to your vehicle. And it'll help you feel dramatic improvement with the vehicle handling and stability.
And it's the safest way to haul a truck camper. Prevents any vehicle sway and camper movement in all directions. Now you can haul your truck camper confidently by attaching your tie-downs to the strongest part of your truck, which is the frame. And vehicle manufacturers do recommend that all full height sliding camper bodies should be directly attached to your vehicle's frame structure.The frame-mounted design ensures excellent handling by securing the camper to the truck's base instead of to its bed, which will better distribute the weight and keeps your setup from being too top heavy. And you also help avoid any bed or bumper damage that's common with other tie-down systems.
This system uses a fast, no drill installation securing your truck camper to your truck so it helps maintain the value of your truck and prevent rust and bed damage by avoiding drilling into your truck bed or bumper. As I mentioned, these are custom fit for your vehicle. The brackets right here will fit tight to the truck frame. There's no loss of any ground clearance, so it's perfect for off road truck camping and they're virtually undetectable when they're not in use. If you're not using them, you can just pull the pin out, remove the insert, and then these frames are all up underneath the truck.You don't even see them.
The hidden design of these brackets will return your truck to its original look and on the inserts right here, you notice they have two holes on the tie-downs. This allows you to connect your turnbuckles and not interfere with anything on your vehicle and you just slide it when you're ready to use them. Just slide it in. You have a hole here and a hole in the bracket, line that hole up. Once you get the hole lined up, take your pin, slide it all the way through, then just snap it in place and that'll hold the insert in there.Now these are driver's side and passenger side brackets and the way you can tell that is when you insert your insert into it.
The smaller, the shorter side of the tie-down should face the rear of the truck. So this would be on your driver's side, this would be on your passenger side when they're installed. They are steel construction. They have a nice black powder coat finish for durability and this part does include everything here on the table, the two rear tie-down inserts, the two brackets, all the necessary hardware to install it and a nice set of detailed instructions on how to install everything. And these parts are made in the USA. But that should do it for the review on the Torklift custom rear frame-mounted camper tie-down.

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 !
