I may have an option for you but none of the Brophy Truck Bed Camper Tie Downs are designed to work with trucks that have dual rear wheels. This has to do with the construction of the internal bed side on models with dual rear wheels. Most trucks that have dual rear wheels do not have the raised center panel required for the truck bed tie downs to mount to.

The only other option you have to secure a truck bed camper to your truck would be to use a set of frame mounted tie downs. In order to recommend the correct set of frame mounted tie downs, I would need to know whether you have side steps/running boards and if you have an OEM or aftermarket trailer hitch receiver.

Once you have a set of frame mounted truck bed tie downs, you can use the TorkLift Basic SpringLoad Turnbuckles part # TLS9000 to secure the truck bed to the camper. You will need two sets of the turnbuckles in order to secure all 4 sides of the camper.
