Recommended Camper Tie-Downs for 2017 Ford F-350 with Extended Step

Question:

Hi I have a 2017 F-350 dually with the extended step. I understand that this part Torklift TLF2021A will work with the extended steps for a slide in camper tie down. Is this correct? Also can you recommend the complete package front/rear brackets and tie downs kit or are all parts ala carte? Thanks,

I do have a solution for you, however all of the TorkLift Custom Tie-Downs available for your 2017 Ford F-350 are designed for trucks without an extended step underneath the truck bed.

Since you do have a step underneath the bed on your truck, I recommend looking at a universal system like the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSSF. These sturdy tie-downs will securely clamp onto the truck's bed side rails for a no-drill installation. These will work on your truck as long as the external bed rail width is not more than 5-1/2 inches wide. There also needs to be at least 2 inches of space beneath the lip of the bed rail. I have included an image that clarifies this dimension. To secure your truck bed camper to these tie-downs, you can use the Brophy # TDHP.

I have also attached an installation video so you can see exactly how this system works.
