Hey John, thanks for reaching out. I can certainly point you in the right direction, but I will need a bit more info on your truck in order to be sure you are getting the right thing.

First your truck is a dually so it is a 3500HD correct? Please confirm that and I will also need to know if you have any running boards or steps on your truck. If steps are present are they cab length only? Or do they run wheel-to-wheel. Lastly I will need to know if you have a trailer hitch on your truck. If you do have a hitch is it factory or aftermarket? Answer those questions for me and I can recommend the correct tie downs.

@John Great thanks for confirming. What I recommend for that are the TorkLift Frame Mounted Tie Downs # TL27DR. This comes with both the front and rear tie downs custom fitted for your truck. The TorkLift are by far the most solid, dependable tie down system we offer. If you prefer to go with a bed mounted system the HappiJac # LC182906-182971 will fit your truck but it will require some drilling. Keep in mind the turnbuckles are sold separately. For Frame Mounted Turnbuckles use the # TLS9529-2-LK. For bed mounted use # TLS9020.

@Mark Glad to help. That is a good call too. The Torklift system is much more robust and dependable compared to the Happijac. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
