These tie-downs bolt directly to the truck’s frame using pre-existing holes, so there’s little to no drilling or modification required. That means your frame stays strong and clean, and installation is straightforward. The brackets mount tight to the frame for minimal loss of ground clearance, so you don’t have to worry about dragging or snagging on uneven roads. Once in place, the fit is solid and ready for serious travel.
For long trips or rough terrain, frame-mounted tie-downs make all the difference. The frame is the strongest part of your vehicle, so securing the camper here keeps it stable and lowers the center of gravity. That helps prevent sway or shifting in crosswinds and gives you better handling on the road. The result is a ride that feels steady and natural, even with a full camper onboard.
When you’re not hauling a camper, you can remove the tie-down arms and keep your truck looking clean. The brackets stay tucked up under the body and are barely visible once the arms are off. It’s a quick way to get back to a stock look without having to remove or reinstall the whole system every time.
Made from strong steel with a high-impact powder coat finish, these tie-downs are built for long-term use in all conditions. The powder coating adds an extra layer of protection against rust and wear from road salt or moisture. It’s a setup that holds up well through years of use and thousands of miles.
Each tie-down arm offers two pin holes so you can adjust how far it extends for proper clearance from fenders or sidewalls. Two anchor holes on each attachment plate help you set the best angle for your turnbuckles (sold separately), keeping your camper locked down and stable from multiple directions. The flexibility makes it easy to dial in a secure fit for your setup.

Hello, neighbors. It's Brad here from etrailer, and I'm with Dan. And Dan recently had his new truck in. He got airbags installed. And you also have an in-bed camper, probably why you have the airbags. Yes.
And so you've towed with an in-bed camper before with a previous truck, correct Yep. I have a 1996 GMC diesel. And I've carried this all over the place, up through the Smoky Mountains, and had a really good time with it. Had a blast. I got a 2000 model Lance Camper, and it's put on a 2025 Chevy 3,500.
I needed to upgrade from a 2,500 to a 3,500. So this thing will carry around. So on your previous Dually that you had, you didn't have the TorkLift tie downs I did not. I had them mounted onto the bumper to tie down to, and also at the beginning of the bed. Now with this, it's all custom fit.
And you went with the aluminum versions, right Yes, I went with the aluminum, because the aluminum, they're pretty sturdy, and I didn't want the metal to rust if I ever take this thing out in the snow and salt and everything. Are there advantages to the TorkLift over kind of the old style that you had it hooked up When I take the TorkLifts out, I can put 'em away and you won't even see that they're attached to the truck. I like to tuck things farther away so I don't bang my leg. Yeah, and you can kind of go back, you can pull those out, and it goes back to that OEM clean look. You have no idea they're even there until you're ready to hook up.
Right. So anything that you would recommend for anyone that has an in bed camper Any, you know, tips, tricks, for in-bed camper driving that you have, you know, over your years I got the tie downs here. I did install these, put 'em in there. And I extended the rods by using all thread rods. Make sure you get the good all thread rods, 'cause some of 'em we inchesre kinda loose when you put 'em in there. And then, yeah. I mean, they are really, really handy. My '96, when I'm driving down the road, it would sway back and forth. And with the Silverado 3,500, I got the airbags in there and the wiring all set up. And it just doesn't move or nothing. It just runs right on down the road. And with the diesel 10 speed transmission, shoot, I just, it just goes. Brad Yeah. Dan It's like it's not even back there. Yeah, and with tying these down, you know, a lot of times people wonder how does it stay in place. And especially, you know, if you're going to kind of mountainous areas or whatever and you're getting ups and downs or hitting bumps, it does have that potential to move. But that's why you have turn buckles. You crank those down, it's gonna keep it all in place. But the big thing is, you know, having a good attachment point. So did you ever have clearance issues with your other one when you hooked it up As far as where the turn buckle's attached, did you have any issues making contact The only issue I would have is if I hooked it on here wrong. Like if I came from the other direction, or this way, I'd have to try to swing it over. Better to unhook the bottom before you unhook the top. Yeah. If you haven't looked at the TorkLift mounting points, these are great. They are custom fit to your vehicle. So it's crucial that you use our fit guide to get the proper trim and model of your truck. Because they're, you know, these aren't gonna work on a Ford. You'd have to get the Ford-specific. But that's what makes these great. They're perfectly set up, you know, as he was saying is once they're out, it goes back to a clean OEM look. They sit proper, they're designed for this, and TorkLift really covers all of the connecting parts to be able to get your in-bed camper to work with your truck. So Dan, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Great talking to you. You're welcome. Excited to get the brush guard on here and get you out on the road and enjoying it. I need to do some camping. (laughs) That's right, yeah. Hey, summer's coming. Have a good time. Thank you. Thank you very much, appreciate it.

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 !
