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.

Michael: Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at the Torklift Custom Frame Mounted Camper Tie-Downs. These tie-downs are going to mount on the front of your trucks bed. It's going to provide the attachment points for your turnbuckles or chains or whatever it is that you're using to hold your truck bed camper in place.These are a really nice option. As far as good, better, best in the kind that we offer, I'd say these are probably the best.
They are very sturdy, mounting to the frame of your vehicle is going to provide a lot more security than mounting to the sides of your truck bed. The analogy I like to use is if you imagine holding a bunch of weight on the top of a ladder versus holding it on the bottom of the ladder, you feel a lot more secure when you're connected to the base rather than being up and extended. So it's kind of a similar concept. You're going to get a lot more secure fit.These are a custom fit, so they are going to work on your 2019 and newer Ram 1500 with the five and a half foot bed. As long as you don't have any of the running boards or steps underneath your truck bed.
Zoom in a little bit here so you can see. So this portion of our bracket is going to be mounted to the frame. Like I said, it's going to provide a lot of security for you helping to alleviate that top heavy feeling that you can sometimes get with your truck bed campers. But one of the really nice things is that these arms are detachable. So when you're not using the truck bed camper, you can just pull those out.
This is going to stay hidden underneath your truck. You're barely going to be able to notice it, if at all. And then when you're ready to put your truck bed camper in place, just slide it in.You can see we've got two holes here. So one for if you need a little bit more clearance have it stick out a little bit farther. You can put it in like that.
Or if you don't need as much clearance, you can slide it into the closer one and it's going to be very easy to get suited to your camper and your needs. Then you just slide the pin in place and it will hold it there steady for you so that you can attach your turnbuckles or other attachment device there.This is going to fit nice and tight against your frame. So you're not going to lose any ground clearance or anything like that. They do include all the hardware and instructions for you. They do have very detailed diagrams to help you get it all installed. So very easy to do. This is a really nice powder coated steel. So the steel is going to make it very strong. The powder coat is going to help resist rust and corrosion. So it should last for a nice long time for you. This is made here in the USA. So you can trust it's made to the high quality standards that we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US and it does have a lifetime warranty.So again, if you we're to have any problems with it, you could give us a call. We'd be happy to help you out with that. But I really don't think you're going to have any problems. I think you're going to be very happy with these. Keep in mind, these are just the front brackets. So they're just for the front of your truck bed. You will need rear brackets as well because you want to have that four corners set up so that you have a nice tie down to make sure that your truck bed camper is going to be nice and secured.But as far as quality goes, I'd say these are top of the line. You're going to be very happy with them. Very easy to get attached to and having that ability to take them out when you're not using them. It's going to make your truck look that much cleaner when you're not using your truck bed camper. So I think you're going to be very happy with these, if you do decide to go with this option. We do have other options here at etrailer.com. If you we're wanting more information or looking for those rear brackets, we have them available as well. So lots of opportunities for you and information to help you make the right choice for you the first time. So that's going to complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.
