Get the safest and most comfortable ride while hauling your camper with tie-downs that mount on the frame of your pickup. Great for your truck's looks: remove the arms from the brackets and you'll hardly know that the brackets are there.
Features:
If you're looking for the best tie-downs for your camper, frame-mounted is the way to go. The frame is the most solid part of your entire vehicle, so it just makes sense to attach your camper to something that's not going to warp, bend, or twist. Even more importantly, the camper's center of gravity will sit lower and its weight will be spread across the entire bed. This avoids a top-heavy load perched on top of your bed rails that's liable to sway and get pushed around by crosswinds. The camper's not going to shift or slide around while you drive; it's going to stay put, and your truck is going to handle just like it does without a camper.
Quick Tip: If you have a plastic or spray-in bed liner, it's important that you use a rubber mat under the camper to eliminate any sliding or bouncing.
Frame-mounted tie-downs are also a great pick for preserving your truck's good looks. The brackets install on the frame, tucked nearly flush with the underside of the vehicle. Remove the arms from the brackets when you're not hauling your camper, and the brackets will be barely visible.
Completely custom to your vehicle, the tie-downs attach to exisiting holes in your frame so that there's little to no drilling and no need for any modifications. Because they're custom, you'll want to use our in-house application guide to make sure you get the exact right model. The tie-downs you need might be different depending on what type of hitch or other accessories you have.
Once the tie-downs are installed, use a set of turnbuckles (sold separately) to secure the camper to the tie-downs. The shank on each arm has 2 pin holes so you can choose how far out they extend, that way the turnbuckles can reach the anchors on your camper without making contact with your truck. Tighten the turnbuckles to the correct level of tension (not too tight!).
Make sure the anchor points are offset from the tie-downs instead of lined up with them so that they will hold your camper from multiple angles. This is important for keeping your camper from shifting. Two holes in the attachment plate of the tie-downs let you find the best angle for you camper anchors.

Get the safest and most comfortable ride while hauling your camper with tie-downs that mount on the frame of your pickup. Great for your truck's looks: remove the arms from the brackets and you'll hardly know that the brackets are there.The hardest part of the installation was removing the frame bolts from the truck that are reused. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and each piece fit perfectly where it was supposed to go. You don't need to be a mechanic to get these installed, but the proper tools are a must, along with a good chunk of an afternoon.
I was told I would have to remove my running boards. Was not difficult to modify. This should be an option.
Very easy to install. I did have to slide the side step forward 1 1/2 inch but no big deal
I was able to get the back bolt tight but there is no way to get a wrench or ratchet in there with the tank right near the bracket. By putting a socket on that bolt head, I could hold a finger against the socket and get enough friction to get the nut tightening. Once the bolt had more friction on it, the nut tightened fully.
Good heavy product and very good instructions.
All parts arrived in good condition. The Torklift part you recommended was the exact fit, installation went well.
I heard it was very hard to install. I found it very easy.
Directions were clear and complete. Booklet was very easy to understand, good pics. Brackets are built to last.
