These custom fit tie-downs give you the safest and most comfortable ride when hauling a camper. They mount to the frame of your pickup - no drilling required! With the arms removed, the brackets can barely be seen.
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.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at these Torklift custom frame mounted front camper tie downs. Now, these tie downs are going to fit various years and versions of the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado. To confirm that these are going to work for you, please take advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Input the year, make and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will let you know if these will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you.
Now, these custom tie downs provide attachment points at the front of the bed of your truck for securing a bed mounted camper. The rear camper tie downs are sold separately. And again, you will wanna use our fit guide to find the rear tie downs that will work for your particular vehicle. These brackets are going to fit tight to your truck's frame with no loss of ground clearance. And the frame mounted design is going to ensure excellent handling because securing your camper to your truck's base instead of its bed better distributes weight to keep your setup from being too top heavy.
And there are going to be virtually undetectable when they're not in use. These tie down inserts can be easily removed from the frame mounted receiver brackets with these included pins. So I'm just gonna go ahead and remove one of these just to give you a brief demonstration. So I removed one of the included pins here and then that insert is going to slide right out and you can take these inserts and put them in the back of the cab of your truck when they're not in use. And then when you're ready to use them, you just grab them and slide them back into the receiver brackets.
I wanted to show you that each of these inserts have two holes. You will use the first hole here for if your camper is wider, if you need a little more clearance, and then you'll use that second hole there for your camper if it's a little bit narrower. So you do have some flexibility there. I'm gonna slide it all the way into that second hole there. So this will continue to fit on my table, line up the holes and then run the pin through and then go ahead and secure the pin.
And these pins have a pretty good tension on them so they're going to hold in place once you have them secured. Now, these are made here in the USA of a powder coated steel construction. You're going to receive everything that you see here on the table before me. You're going to receive the two front tie down inserts, the frame brackets, and the necessary hardware along with a set of instructions to walk you through the installation process. These do have a lifetime warranty from Torklift. And that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
