Today on this 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 Series Quad Cab, were going to install part number TLD3109. This is a TorkLift Camper Tie Downs. This tie downs are installed in the back of the bumper. To get our vehicle ready, we went ahead and sprayed it down with some Penetrant to help loosen up the bolts. What well need to do is go ahead and remove our bolts. Now were looking at the passenger side and this will be identical for our driver side as well.
Youve got a variety of bolts we have to uninstall, these locations and these two as well. Our tie down bracket is going to up in this place and this will be stuffed back on top of it. Now what we can do is actually just leave these as loose as possible and let this rotate out of the way as well too. We dont want to take them completely off. To loosen these fasteners up, were using the 15 mm socket. Well use the same socket on these two bolts.
These two bolts will require a 21 mm socket. On the other side is a handle nut. Lets go ahead and slide our bracket into place and then well install the hardware that comes with the kit right here. Well push that from the inside to the outside and then on the threads on the inside here, well install a flat washer, a lock washer and a nut. At this point, were going to leave this loose and were going to reinstall the original hardware. On this side, were going to start from the top and work our way down. With all our hardware loosely installed, well go ahead and tighten it down and then torque them down as per instructions.
Now to tighten these fasteners down, Ill need a 3-1/4 inch socket and a wrench. With all the bolts tightened down and torqued for our passenger side and basically were going to repeat all this on our driver side. With the tie down receiver in place and tightened down, well go ahead and install the bit insert. Well just go ahead and slide it in. You have a couple of adjustments for your tie downs. In this case, well just go ahead and just push it all the way in for storage and install the lock pin or snap pin.
That will finish it for the TorkLift Custom Frame Mounted Camper Tie Downs for the back of our truck part number TLD3109 on our 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 Series Quad Cab. .

Forklift tie downs are manufactured to exact fit to existing manufactured frame rail holes. They lined up perfectly and after 6000 miles with camper on board have stayed secure. The only downside, (this is relative to when and ware you use you camper) they will corrode when driving through snow covered roads that have been treated with sand and/or salt. I use an oil based product to protect them corroding.
Easy install, very effective way to keep the camper were it's supposed to be. Just bought a new truck and ordered another set for it. As long as I have a bed mounted camper I will be using this tie down system.
Seem like a solid well built product. A bit of a pain to install and the instructions could have been more clear and the manual put together better but overall satisfied.
Great tiedowns, easy to install. Both slide in section of the tiedowns had areas where either the shipping caused issues or they had been used, not sure. Some of the powder coat areas were scratched up to bare metal. Other than that, they are nice and out of the way when not being used.
Jenny N - 12/06/2021Easy to install and super secure! Made my Lance 1020 feel like its part of my truck. Highly recommended for the juggernaut class truck campers. I’ll never go back to the stake pocket style or bed mount tie downs again.
These camper tie downs are quality made. Very easy to install. Install time was under two hours. Shipping was fast as always.
On my 2017 Ram 2500 HD, were easier to install than the front ones because you don't have to put that bolt inside the frame. There is a standoff for a wire on each side that had to be removed, and will need to be secured with a cable tie or something (see attached picture). I had to remove my Trekstep from the driver's side, but I knew I would have to do that, so no big deal. Again, these are very sturdy, thus very heavy, and lighter aluminum tie downs might be considered to reduce weight.
The rear mount arrived this morning, and I immediately went to installation,,,the only thing that could have made things easier would be, if I had a more powerful air wrench to take the bolts out,,,lol.
Looks great! The quality of your product is impressive! And, to think the dealer wanted to charge me $200 to put them on.
I see these as a permanent attachments to my truck,
I am really happy with tork lift rear tie downs on my 2004 3509 Dodge Ram dually. They have worked out good for me. I did have to move my rear camper tie downs so the tie down rods would clear the fenders but overall I am very happy with the tie downs.
Installed very easily. Brackets seem very strong. Excited to put them to work.
Jacob - 06/20/2021These are very well made. They installed easily and fit perfectly. My only concern is that the tie down/turnbuckle attachment hole is slotted and looks potentially weak as a result. I don't know that it's weak, it just looks like making it without the slot would be a lot stronger.
Bruce - 11/04/2020TorkLift frame mounted tie downs, Torklift Fast Gun tie downs - AWESOME! Arrived Thursday as promised, picked the new Cirrus camper this morning. Installed the frame mounted tie downs - front and back - 1hour 45 minutes. Thank you etrailer!
As long as they match with what came on used truck and camper when I purchased it were good.
These rear mounts are working great.
These camper tie downs have been fantastic! They were easy to install and have made securing my camper a breeze. I really like how easy it is to pull the tie down portion of the brackets out when you aren't carrying the camper. In my opinion this is the only way to secure a truck camper.

Heavy duty brackets
Very well made
Very heavy duty and easy to install with the right tools.
Some of the best customer ever. Knowledgeable, helpful and received my order way before expected.
Ordered front and rear tie downs for my 2015 ram 3500 long box. Excellent quality parts, and very easy install. Still look brand new after 1 year of use.
Excellent service and quick shipping
Easy instal works great with our Ram 3500. Paired with torklift fastguns makes attaching camper quick and easy, and secure.
Same thing as I thought of the front tie downs awesome!
I did have to work on a couple of holes with a file to enlarge them just a little so the factory bolts off the bumper bracket would fit through them, but aside from that this is a simple bolt on tie down which requires no drilling at all.
I called etrailer about these tie downs because our RAM is a 2018 model and there is currently no listing for TorkLift tie-downs for 2018 RAM trucks, either on eTrailer or on the TorkLift site.
eTrailer contacted TorklLift to ask if they are warranted to fit 2018 RAM trucks, but they were unable to confirm that.
Having just installed these on our 2018, I can now confirm it that they do indeed fit. There have been no dimensional changes to the 2018 models which affect the location these tie-downs are designed to fit, so they install just fine.
Straight bolt up application with no drilling required. You will need a decently long wrench, or a cheater bar of some kind, to undo the factory bolts on bumper brackets, 'cos those rascals are pretty big and pretty tight, but aside from that, it's a piece of cake.
This is the way to go for tying down a camper of any real size and weight. Those "button" anchor points that install in the bumper itself are no match for the strength and overall sturdiness of these TorkLifts. Heavy gauge steel throughout.
