Question:
Install of front and rear torklift tie downs went well today with one exception. The front driver side factory bed bolt doesn’t want to tighten. Any ideas?

Glad to hear most of the installation of your TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLC2225 went well, however to fix the issue you're having I recommend re-tapping the threads for your bed bolt as they may be worn or stripped out.
To further secure the bolt into it's spot you can also use some thread locker like:
-Loctite Threadlocker 262 - High Strength - Up to 3/4" Nuts/Bolts # LT37420.
I've also included an installation video for you to check out as well.
