Features to know about
Install Without Drilling: Custom Frame-Mount Tie-Downs
These rear tie-downs bolt directly to the frame using pre-existing holes, so installation is quick and clean with little to no drilling. Because they mount tight to the frame, you maintain excellent ground clearance and avoid cutting or modifying any part of your truck. The custom-fit design means the tie-downs sit exactly where they should for a solid, secure setup that feels like part of the truck rather than an add-on.
Built Strong and Light: Aluminum and Stainless Steel Construction
The TorkLift Talon tie-downs combine heavy-duty strength with lightweight materials. The arms are made from rustproof, military-grade aluminum alloy while the receiver brackets are stainless steel, both shielded by a high-impact powder coat finish. This mix gives you rugged performance that stands up to harsh climates and long hauls without adding unnecessary weight.
Stay Stable on Every Road: Frame-Mounted Security
Attaching your camper to the truck’s frame keeps it stable and balanced under load. With the camper’s weight distributed evenly, handling stays smooth even on rough terrain or in crosswinds. The camper won’t sway or shift—so your ride feels as steady as driving without one. Two anchor holes on each arm help fine-tune your turnbuckle angle for the most secure hold.
Clean Look When You’re Not Hauling
When the camper’s off, remove the aluminum arms and you’ll hardly notice the brackets underneath. They stay tucked close to the frame for a low-profile look that doesn’t spoil your truck’s lines. It’s a neat setup that disappears until you need it again.
Quick Adjustments for a Perfect Fit
Each arm extends outward to clear bodywork like bowed sidewalls or fenders, giving you room to connect turnbuckles easily. Adjustable pin holes let you set just the right length for your camper’s anchors, helping you line up tension correctly and keep everything locked down for the trip ahead.

The Talons and the fast guns are awesome products, fit and installation was very easy. The products have held up very well and will for a long time. The extra money spent for this set up was very worth it. It takes no time at all to secure the camper down and the fast guns have never needed adjustment after initial set up. ETRAILER was great to work with and followed up after sale. Products shipped quick and were in stock. They also had lots of information posted on YouTube to ease installation. Great company, great products by Torklift! 261310
They are almost perfect! There is a piece of molding underneath that they push in just a fraction, but otherwise they were well! 3411085

I bought the Torklift camper tie downs for my new 2017 Ram 3500 dually. I haul a Lance 850 slide in truck camper. They came today and I installed them in about 4 hours. (I work slow) I bought the Aluminum ones so I don't have to worry about any rust. They look great and like the Torklift that was on my old truck I am sure they will give me great service. 347320

Installed on a 2016 RAM 3500. No issues. These installed very easily but you'll probably want to use an air-impact gun to get the hitch/bumper bolts loosened. 1511609

I installed these on a 2015 ram 3500 crew cab dually with a factory hitch. Very easy to install (1hr) and fit perfect. I'd recommend these 296888

The rear mounts were easy to mount. The only problem the package was missing 4 flat washers. I also just received the Front mounts. They were a little harder to mount by myself. Some advice is to watch the install on [video]. I ended up using a floor Jack to hold the mounts. 1210128
I had a question on installation and E.Trailer customer service answered the question and solved my problem. They are going to work great with my Northern Lite truck camper. 3232938
For a 2017 Silverado 2500 the mounting plate didn't align with the holes in the hitch so I had to grind about a half inch to get enough clearance to get the 1/2" bolt through. Would have been straight forward if this wouldn't have been an issue on both sides. 3435101

Excellent buying experience. The tie downs were shipped promptly and received on schedule. They were installed within an hour with no surprises on my 2016 f150 longbed. Looking forward to their use. 357544

Very easy to install. A little more money than steel but with these you do not have to worry about rust if you live where they like to salt roads. Best part of etrailer is the customer service. 3400902

For the price of this product it should have installed without me having to modify it. The main mount that attaches to the hitch is contoured from factory. When the tie down is inserted into the hitch mount the hitch pin holes do not line up. The tie down bracket will not inserted far enough due to the factory bending. I had to cut off the end of the tie down bracket to make the hitch pin hole align. 3350742

The tie-downs were a bit difficult to install for a novice but if you follow instructions closely they did install as outlined in the instructions. They are lightweight and have held my camper in place very well. I am happy with this purchase. 1623136

About a year ago, I purchased the aluminum Talon Torklift Frame-Mounted Front and Rear Camper Tie-Downs. The install was easy taking the better part of a day including a little help from a local automotive mechanic to loosen and retorque the truck’s leaf spring bolts. The Tie-Downs have worked great since installed with no issues. I highly recommend them. 735002

Excellent product. Good customer service. I will always use tork lift products from now on.
etrailer is an excellent vendor as well.
I upgraded from happy jack camper tie downs. I like the aluminum talon tork lifts for their easy installation, zero corrosion liability, and unimposing appearance when not in use. 442580

It's a little tricky feeding the bolts through the frame (almost lost one, but a little tape on the bolt/spring helped), but a great product otherwise. The mounting scheme for my Chevy 2500 HD is strong and ingeniously designed. No drilling or welding. The aluminum won't rust like other tie-downs mounted to the frame. It was well worth the extra money to get the aluminum version of this product. 369687

Easiest installation available. These fit perfect and attach just as instructed. The only issue you may have to watch is that on some truck frames, mine being one of them, Ford covers one of the holes with a black sticker that states, "No Mounting Bracket". In my case, the writing on this sticker was covered by a film of road grime and I had problems even finding the hole to dry fit the bracket until I cleaned off the frame with solvent. The actually TorkLift kit fits the frame perfectly though. The passenger rear bracket is very close to the exhaust pipe so when diesel particulate filter regeneration cycle begins, it will melt the label off the bracket but does not appear the even burn the paint on it so should still be OK, just be aware when unhooking the tie down from the bracket as it could be very hot. 828935
Yes they sure will; I checked with HappiJac and the correct fit for your 2017 Ram 3500 long bed dually is the part number you referenced:
- HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # LC236326-205221
The other thing you will need with these tie-downs are compatible turnbuckles, the HappiJac Qwik-Load Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs # LC182895. view full answer...
I am assuming you have a 3500, but what is your bed length and cab style? With that info I can tell you which Torklift tie downs you need. view full answer...
Happy to help, and for your 2007 Dodge Ram 25000 with an 8 foot bed, the correct camper tie-downs and turnbuckles are going to depend on a couple things.
First, there is an option from Happijac, but please note that the front panel of your truck bed needs to have a vertical ribbed design for the following to fit:
- HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # LC182908-182928
&
- HappiJac Qwik-Load Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs # LC182895

For a 2018 Ram 3500 Crew Cab with factory hitch and 8-foot bed we do have hitch fits that are shown on the linked page. These include both 2-inch hitches like Draw-Tite # 41929 which fits with a standard factory bumper and 2-1/2-inch hitches like TorkLift # TLD1108-30. This is pre-drilled for TorkLift camper tie downs.
The fit of camper tie-downs depends on several factors including your hitch. TorkLift offers both steel and aluminum camper tie downs for the Ram 3500 Crew Cab 8-foot bed... view full answer...
I can help you outfit your 2016 Ram 3500 with a complete Torklift setup.
First thing you will need for your 8 foot bed with factory hitch, is the Torklift hitch # TLD1108, this will give you a second 2 inch receiver on your truck and will allow you to mount the 48 inch SuperTruss hitch extension # TLE1548 to reach behind your Eagle Cap Truck Bed Camper. This hitch is a bolt on application that requires no drilling and will work in combination with your factory hitch. I have linked the... view full answer...
If your 2018 Ram 2500 came with a factory installed trailer hitch which I can only assume it did then the correct set of TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs for you is part # TLD2127 (front) and part # TLD3109 (rear) for steel or part # TLD2127A (front) and part # TLD3109A (rear) for aluminum. These are both no-drill options. If you have the Mopar rear-mounted kick out steps that are mounted under the bumper they will need to be removed.

You are correct; the only difference between the two camper tie-downs is indeed how they are constructed; otherwise there is not a difference. One is made of aluminum and the other is powder-coated steel:
- Aluminum: TorkLift Talon Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Aluminum - Rear # TLD3109A
- Steel: TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Rear # TLD3109
The aluminum is the more premium option because their aluminum construction means they are not going to rust, which... view full answer...
The parts you are looking for would be the TorkLift Talon Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs part # TLD2127A, and part # TLD3109A. These will install on the underside of your truck and will provide some excellent places to help stabilize your camper. view full answer...
The correct Torklift camper tie downs you need for your 2017 Ram 3500 dually without steps and a factory hitch is the part numbers # TLD2124 and # TLD3109 for steel or if you prefer aluminum which will be more corrosion resistant as part numbers # TLD2124A and # TLD3109A.
Since you have a dually you will need to take one quick measurement. On dually applications rear camper anchor point location may require the use of TLA7004. Measure from front of camper slide in point to rear anchor... view full answer...
The TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Front # TLD2124 and rear # TLD3109 are going to be stronger than the aluminum versions of # TLD3109A and # TLD2124A because Aluminum is a softer metal in general but this product is designed to work well for this purpose. The Aluminum tie-downs will still hold your camper in place without any issue because the majority of the weight is on the entire bed of your truck and the tie-downs are plenty strong to hold and stabilize.

For a 2018 Ram with a long bed, regular cab, diesel 4x4 in SRW configuration without running boards but with a receiver hitch, the correct TorkLift Talon Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs for the rear is, # TLD3109A.
For the front, the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs, # TLD2129 is the recommended item but due to the compressor location this Tie Down can't be installed with factory airbags on 8 foot bed. I suggest the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs, # HSSF in black... view full answer...
I reached out to my contact at TorkLift and confirmed that the TorkLift Talon Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Aluminum - Rear # TLD3109A are a fit for your 2016 Ram 3500 Dually with 8 foot bed no running boards under bed and factory hitch. These rear tie downs are paired with the TorkLift Talon Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Aluminum - Front, # TLD2124A.
No additional parts are needed for either tie-down unless you need turnbuckles like the TorkLift Locking FastGun... view full answer...
