Get the safest and most comfortable ride while hauling your camper with tie-downs that mount on the frame of your pickup. Great for your truck's looks: remove the arms from the brackets and you'll hardly know that the brackets are there.
Features:
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.
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.
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.
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.

Torklift tie downs work great!
These tie downs were exactly what I needed and they arrived very fast! I will definitely buy from etrailer.com again.
The TLC2205 front camper frame mount fit like a glove on my 2004 2500 HD Chevy.Going to get the torklift super hitch next and the rear torklift camper mounts that bolt to the super hitch.etrailer is a great place to buy from.Going to get a lot more things for my truck. Thank you very much. Lyle K Anglemyer
Have not actually used them yet, but they are sturdy and well positioned, and the installation was fairly easy, although I had to grind a very small (less than 1/8') off the bottom of the passenger side plate that goes inside the frame in order to get both bolts in. I don't have a camper yet, but may get the rear tie-downs, depending on size and weight of what I get. Will use bumper brackets for now. I did not think the bed mount type of tie-down would be enough for anything but a very light camper, and the through the bed into the frame type didn't appeal to me much. Not having to drill any holes was a plus, although I would have done it if necessary to get the strength I wanted. Although these tie-downs mount in a somewhat unusual way, I think they will be very functional, strong, and convenient.
These are the gold standard. Relatively easy to install with few simple tools. Less than 2 hours. Easy to remove / add as the camper is moved from the truck. I would purchase again.
Best product for overhead camper tie-downs period. Instructions could use a little more detail and/clearer picture, but installation was relatively easy and only took approx. 2hrs to install. Much more secure than bed/bumper or stake pocket type tie downs.
The Tork lift camper tie downs are perfect. Very solid and easy to use, the installation instructions are pretty vague but once you look at it it is pretty self-explanatory?. Etrailer shipped them fast and free. Very happy camper here!!!
Product showed up and fit like I was told it would. I have talked with 3 different employees from this company they have all been such a great help. There customer service is great.
End result was great. The existing bolts that have to be removed to mount each support arm can be quite rusty. I recommend hosing them down with penetration fluid and waiting 24 hours until trying to remove. Clever "drilless" mounting scheme. Will work very well.
Super satisfied with the tie-downs. No drilling required. They are almost invisible when not in use. I am also very happy with etrailer's customer service. Excellent communication on order status and tracking. Looking forward to shopping with you again.
Those tie downs kick butt. I put them on my chevy Silverado 2500 and put in my 8-foot slide in camper. Then I took it over some very extreme conditions to go moose hunting in northern Manitoba. Despite all that was thrown at my truck the camper didn’t budge . I would recommend them to anyone interested in purchasing them.
Great tie downs never had any problems keeping my truck camper secure. The instructions that came with them were not very good it took me several tries to get them oriented correctly. I wish they had clearer pictures in their instructions. The ones provided were blurry and not clear.
Was an easy install. Product has performed and worked nicely. Install instuctions were written nicely and accurately.
The tie downs are very well built and fit perfectly. Once I figured things out installation was fairly easy; however, the instructions were almost useless which made installation harder than it had to be.
Easy to install but instructions could of been clearer. All parts were included.
Fast shipping. Good price. Easy install ation.
Great customer service
you are misleading on your shipping times,and when i enter my vehicle description you dont give me the correct options to choose from and i have to call your rep to get the proper part ordered.
Prompt shipping and excellent customer service!
These are built darn good. The metal is much thicker than you'd think or expect. You can bolt these on both sides in an hour easily. Fitment is awesome...Nicely done. Now lets see how they hold up!
only took about 2 hrs to install fitment is good!
Great product for peace of mind
Fit prefect on my 03 silverado
