Question:

2015 Silverado Long Bed truck, with a long truck camper. A few years ago, I replaced TorkLift rear aluminum tie-downs with Torklift steel tie downs after breaking of an aluminum tie-down with a severe bump. Will I need to go back to aluminum tie-downs in order to use model TLC1211? I plan to use it with a 48inch Superhitch extension. Im replacing the factory hitch, which I had been using with a Reece 48inch bar. Im not comfortable with the Reece bar following a sudden stop where the Reece bar became elevated destroying the tow-bar and damaging the Wrangler. Thanks

Expert Reply:

The Torklift hitch part # TLC1211 that you referenced does not require the use of aluminum tie downs so you can keep using your steel ones without issue. This also will work great with the Torklift SuperTruss Hitch Extension part # TLE1548 as well.
