A Safe Ride is a Comfortable Ride
If you're looking for the best tie-downs for your camper, frame-mounted is the way to go. The frame is the most solid part of your entire vehicle, so it just makes sense to attach your camper to something that's not going to warp, bend, or twist. Even more importantly, the camper's center of gravity will sit lower and its weight will be spread across the entire bed. This avoids a top-heavy load perched on top of your bed rails that's liable to sway and get pushed around by crosswinds. The camper's not going to shift or slide around while you drive; it's going to stay put, and your truck is going to handle just like it does without a camper.
Quick Tip: If you have a plastic or spray-in bed liner, it's important that you use a rubber mat under the camper to eliminate any sliding or bouncing.
Don't Ruin Your Truck's Looks
Frame-mounted tie-downs are also a great pick for preserving your truck's good looks. The brackets install on the frame, tucked nearly flush with the underside of the vehicle. Remove the arms from the brackets when you're not hauling your camper, and the brackets will be barely visible.
Custom Fit, No-Drill Installation
Completely custom to your vehicle, the tie-downs attach to exisiting holes in your frame so that there's little to no drilling and no need for any modifications. Because they're custom, you'll want to use our in-house application guide to make sure you get the exact right model. The tie-downs you need might be different depending on what type of hitch or other accessories you have.
Securing Your Camper
Once the tie-downs are installed, use a set of turnbuckles (sold separately) to secure the camper to the tie-downs. The shank on each arm has 2 pin holes so you can choose how far out they extend, that way the turnbuckles can reach the anchors on your camper without making contact with your truck. Tighten the turnbuckles to the correct level of tension (not too tight!).
Make sure the anchor points are offset from the tie-downs instead of lined up with them so that they will hold your camper from multiple angles. This is important for keeping your camper from shifting. Two holes in the attachment plate of the tie-downs let you find the best angle for you camper anchors.

Easy install and just a great product. Install took 90 minutes for front and rear mounts.

These are a must with a slide in. I would not do it any other way. This with a set of fastguns and you're all set.

2021 Ram 2500
These do look to be of good quality and finish. That said, the packaging it was shipped had almost no paper to hold the items in place so the black finish had many large gouges in it. Then when installed the middle bolt snapped off inside the frame of my truck while torquing to 75lbs. I was using a torque wrench set at 75lbs. After finishing the installation I check fit and clearance. These were supposed to work with my truck configuration according to etrailer website, however they do clear the factory running boards.
by: Kevin07/09/2022
The torklift tie down system is a must. I’ve had them on my GMC Denali the make loading and securing my lance camper a breeze. I just ordered a new set because I recently purchased a new ram truck and the old bracket wouldn’t fit. Not sure how it could be done with out your products.
by: Darren 04/26/2024
These were easy to install, a bit challenging on drivers side due to e-brake cable, but very straight forward. My only complaint is there was quite a few large scratches. Great product!!
by: Jim03/29/2023
We previously bought a truck camper and older truck with tie downs. A year ago we decided to upgrade to a new truck which of course meant buying and installing new TorkLift tiedowns. After some hand wringing I made the appropriate purchase and took the next step of installing them. I did feel reassured that the product was set up for our specific truck. Although I do some work on the camper and all I am not a mechanic so I will say this product was a cinch to install.
by: John05/13/2024
Instruction regarding removing brake cable were not real helpful. The e brake adjustment bolt that the instructions say to loosen is in a bracket that does not allow you to get a wrench on it, you need a 1/2” socket that’s about 4” deep. I ended up putting a socket over it and then turned it with vise grips( not ideal). The instructions also say to pry open the tabs on the e brake coupler
but nothing needed done with tabs I had to get a small punch and drive the loose end of the cable out of the coupler as it’s extremely tight in the coupler.
After finally getting the e brake cables out of the way the rest of the install went ok. I’m a bit disappointed in the fit as the Tie down inserts come into contact with the very end of the truck running boards and have to be tapped in scuffing the end cap on the factory running boards. A little fine tuning needs to be done to make these everything they say they are. 2022 Ram 2500

I verify that TLD2140 fits the 2024 Ram 3500 Crew Cab 8 ft Bed. It involves some patience and an extra person helping is almost a must have. The directions were very well written. Take your time and have patience when removing the parking brake cables. Yes, you must have a torque wrench.

I installed these on my 2022 Ram 3500 SRW over a year ago for use with a Northern Lite 9-6 camper. Excellent instructions, installation was easy with simple tools, fit and finish is very good and they perform exactly as required. Definitely recommend!

Dodge Ram Pickup
I wasn't planning on purchasing a new set of Tie-Downs, but having my truck totaled by a careless driver, changed that plan.
Bought the front and rears to install on my new 2021 Ram 2500. Installation was a snap, literally under an hour for the set of four. Using them to secure my Lance 650, they have worked as excellently as the previous set did (may they rest in peace).
as usual, etrailer's sales and service were top shelf.

Product is great,,,,instructions suck. How much trouble would it be to do a couple more illustrations.
Your hardware instructions were fine,,,,,Just the re-routing emergency brake cable was beyond bad.

2019 Dodge Ram Pickup
I installed these on a 2019 Ram 2500 Laramie with a 6.7L Cummins, 6.5 foot bed length, running boards on the cab, and a factory hitch. I'm not a gear head (auto mechanic) and the install was pretty straight forward and not complicated. Most of the time involved to install these was dedicated to disconnecting and reconnecting the parking brake cables. Great product and the delivery was quick. Hope this helps others in determining fitment for purchasing.
by: Rich S.07/20/2021
So far we have only received the front tie-downs. They installed without problem. I will be glad to review the other two items when they arrive. The instructions were very good.
by: Patrick03/11/2022
Product seems decent quality. When received, some of the powder coat was flaking off which doesn’t bother me because it’s under the truck and going to get dirty anyways. Also, the figment was not that great, when installing the front mounts on my 2020 ram, they do not fit that great and didn’t not sit flush on the frame. In order to get them to sit flush, I had to tighten the top two bolts a little, then tighten the bottoms two that attach to the sandwich plate on the frame side to suck the mount in towards the frame. Then I tightened down the top two bolts the rest of the way which pulled the tabs up and kind of bent it into place.

You mentioned that the installation was a not a smooth one and I wanted to see if you could send a picture of the tie downs installed. I would like to send this information to the manufacturer for review.

2019 Ram 2500
Shipped fast, well ahead of expected date.
The manufacturers written installation instructions were appalling and the few videos I found online from them were less than not helpful. (I work for a manufacturer myself and was shocked at this).
Were it not for etrailers videos I could not have figured installation out. I say figure it out because understandably I didn’t find model specific videos but enough information to see how they should install.
So, TorkLift gets 5 product stars/-10 installation instruction stars and etrailer gets 5+ stars all around!
by: Dave Armstrong07/25/2023
Once I received the product, it took me about 2 hours to install. Was simple, and the instructions were easy to follow. Looks great on my Ram 3500.

Since your 2019 Ram 3500 has the 8' Bed I recommend the TorkLift camper Tie-Downs Front # TLD2142 and Rear # TLD3112 if your truck has board or step extending under the bed, or if you have a fixed running board or step under the cab. If your truck has the factory electric running board under the cab or no running board or step you...

view full answer... - Compatible Tie Down Anchors for Truck Bed Camper on 2019 Ram 2500 Short BedI have a solution for you, but the HappiJac Custom Tie Downs # LC182910 is not going to fit on your 2019 Ram 2500 short bed; these are actually designed for Ford trucks. You'll need to determine the correct tie down for your 2019 Ram 2500 short bed by the type of hitch you have installed, and whether or not you have a board or step extending out or underneath the bed of your truck. For example, if you've got a 2019 Ram 2500 short bed without the board or step, you'll want to use the TorkLift...
view full answer... - Front Hitch and Torklift Camper Tie Downs that Fit 2021 Ram 2500There is a significant enough of a difference between a 2017 Ram 2500 and a 2021 Ram 2500 that there had to be a different front hitch made so you'd need the Curt # C31089 that you referenced. The Torklift camper tie downs for your 2021 Ram are the part # TLD2140 and # TLD3113 which also are different from the older truck you have so they would have to be replaced as well.

The # TLD2140 you referenced only works if the boards stop at the cab. Then for the rear tie down setup you'd want the part # TLD3113 and you'd be set. These do not affect your sway bars either.
