Question:
I have a 2010 F350 extra cab four-wheel-drive. I have airbags and I have a 1995 Woodland camper can I safely use steak pocket tiedowns to haul my camper?

Expert Reply:
I never recommend using Stake Pocket Tie-Downs # TDSF as the stake pockets on trucks are not strong enough to properly secure your camper. I only recommend using frame mounted options like the TorkLift. You would need either the Short Bed Kit # TL76DR or Long Bed Kit # TL93VV to match your bed length as long as you have the factory receiver. Please let me know if you have a different trailer hitch receiver on your 2010 Ford F-350.
You will then need the Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK to easily secure your camper to your truck.
