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.Front and rear tie downs came in two separate boxes. Back tie down box was fine but front tie down box was broken open with one of the T bolts hanging out. Fortunately both T bolts were in the box. There have been numerous reviews about bad packaging and parts missing and beat up so I think whoever is packaging these parts should take heed and do a better job. The rear tie downs went on fine with the help of the video instructions. The front however were harder and required me to grind down the T bolts so they would fit correctly (see pictures). I also had to enlarge the elongated holes to get the bolt in. Also the order of the instructions was in my mind incorrect. I installed the angled bracket supports first and then the main brackets. My recommendation would be to post a video of the installation procedures like they did for the back tie downs. All the parts were well made except the front T bolts and I am hopeful that they will last a long time. The pricing in my mind is high but they appear to be the only game in town so it is what it is. I do recommend these as they seem very strong and well designed.
The mounts were well made, but ridiculously expensive. instructions were dismal, once I figured it out, the rear mounts went quickly.
I bought this when my previous belly bar and rear tie-down bent badly when our truck slid off the road into a steep ditch and our camper nearly tipped sideways off our truck. This product is a bit better then my old set up, but I expected something much better for this very high price. It wasn't too tough to install, but that is despite the poorly written instructions. I am also disappointed that the tie-down point has a slot cut in it which seems would significantly weaken it. I am not optimistic that this will not bend or break if we have a similar significant side load such as when we slid into the ditch. I will probably weld the slot shut to strengthen this tie-down point.
This is a very well designed and manufactured product. A lot of thought went into form, fit, function and the installation process. Not having to drill, cut or weld on the vehicle and still end up with a robust, flexible mounting system is excellent. Installation is a bit of a task, as long you take the time to read the installation instructions everything goes smoothly.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone considering frame mount tie downs!~
Well built. Installation took about three hours for front TLC2223 and rear brackets TLC3215 on 2017 GMC2500, instructions were not as clear as they might have been. I am pleased with these brackets, and with TorqLift tie spring loaded tie downs camper was rock solid.
I have a 2017 Chevy 2500. Installation system was great, install was simple if you watch the videos. The camper is very stable with these tie downs. Much better than my previous set up.
I highly recommend this TorkLift system!
These brackets are stout, the pictures don't do it any justice. I installed them on my 2017 GMC 2500. The hardest part of the install was fishing the bolts through the frame. The second one only took about 15 minutes. I'm only using the front ones because I have an after market exhaust and the back one would not fit. Everything packed good and decent directions.
Although the price was higher than for other tie-down systems, it was definitely the right purchase. It is rock solid, and I do not regret getting it. It worked great on the maiden voyage (3 weeks of asphalt, gravel, and dirt roads).

Great, I feel comfortable using them
they wear well i have no problems
They seem like they will work well, but hard to install and very expensive
The units appeared to be well made and were nicely painted. I installed them on my F150. The tools and hardware supplied were of good quality and installation was straight forward. Two people would have been great, but I was able to install both sides in a little less than an hour. The holes all line up very well. I like these better than the previous units I had on my 2013, as they do not stick out as far - so less noticeable. The extension arms come out at a very nice angle just under the body. I find these units with quality I expected and I think they will be highly functional in attaching my camper.
These tiedowns were great. They fit my 2023 ford f350 4wd crew cab perfectly. They bolted on using existing holes and they included wire feeders to feed the bolts through all the holes. Everything was included in the kit and installation was pretty simple. Probably took an hour or so. Directions were very good and easy to follow. They hold my camper down very securely and are adjustable for various widths. Also easy to drill different hokes for custom widths. I highly recommend this tie down for this model truck.
Was delivered in two days as promised. Box was beat up but everything was still in it. Parts are way to tough to hurt
Pretty easy for a 73 year old guy to install.
One tip though, on the driver's side install the 1/2x5 bolt with the bolt head to the inside. Gives a little more clearance with the fuel tank. This is opposite of what the directions say.
Thanks Nick for the great service.
One side fit perfect. Other side strait out of the box had a huge booger weld on the back that made it not fit. Ground the boogers off so it would sit flush and then the bolt holes don't line up. Never mind that the website said free delivery in 3 days when I placed the order. Next morning shipping pushed another day. Then the next push another day. Ended up taking 8 days for them to arrive. When I called about it no replacement brackets available for 3 weeks.
I had the mountings professionally attached to the frame. The hatches can be easily removed when not in use( and I would recommend that to keep them from being stolen). Using chains and turnbuckles, I feel very comfortable with my truck camper staying where it is.. does not rock, very solid.
It’s nice to feel secure about my camper staying firmly attached.
It was worth the investment.
Tommy C recommended the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs. The Instructions are great and very easy to follow. They supply some cool wire helpers to hold bolts in the frame for you. All went very smoothly and a very secure. I love how solid the Camper feels on the truck.
The product was easy to install, a bit awkward with only one person on the front tie downs but if you had an extra set of hands then that problem would be solved.
The top bolt hole on the front passenger side was out by about 1/8" but I resolved that by being able to get a drill on the inside of the frame and drilling through that way to allow the bolt to go through both truck frame and tie down. If it had been on the driver's side then it may have been an issue with the gas tank in the way. All is now installed and ready to go,
Heavy duty product. Issues, the instructional book was not sufficient for a tricky installation involving three bolt fishing wires and installation of bolts from inside the frame. Had to search You Tube for visual instructions. One 2" bolt missing from supplies and neither of the top locking bolt holes were align with the frame hole. Including a link to a visual demonstration of installation would be awesome.
Extremely nice. Well packaged delivered fast great communication. The parts went on the truck easier than expected and very well engineered.

They are starting to rust significantly. That is very disappoint considering the very high cost of these.
