Will the Brophy Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie Downs - Bed Mount - work for a 2011 Ram 57inch bed with Ramboxes? I am looking to custom build a bed camper and am searching fro appropriate tiedowns. Thank you!

The Brophy Stake Pocket Tie Down, part # TDSF, requires a stake pocket to be used. It does not look like the Ramboxes have stake pockets, so this cannot be used. Even if there are, the Rambox setup increases the width of the bed walls so that normal stake pocket tie-downs won't fit.

For your 2011 Dodge Ram Pickup, you will need to go with a frame-mounted tie-down system. I've linked to the appropriate page for your vehicle. In the drop-down list, you will need to choose which option fits your truck.

For example, for the "1500 - 6-1/2 Foot Bed and 4WD - Quad Cab - with board or step underneath truck bed and with a factory installed hitch" option, the only available tie down is the HappiJac one, part # LC236326-205221.

If you let me know which you have, I can help you determine which tie-down is the right one for you.
