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.

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.by: John09/25/2022
Significantly overpriced for what it is and on top of that it’s terrible quality!
They were installed on the truck for 2 weeks, and used once when they’ve already started to rust. Even if they were made of stainless steel it’s overpriced for what you get.
When I contacted etrailer about a warranty they directed me to TorkLift. At first they were just going to send me a can of paint to address the rust issue. After I threatened to leave a poor, but realistic review they sent me a replacement set.
I’d say to wholeheartedly avoid this product but the problem is there aren’t other options…. And they know it…. Which allows charge whatever they want.

These are a no-drill installation on a 2020 Ram 3500, but NOT a simple task. A mounting plate must be sandwiched between the front leaf spring bolt and its mount, then torqued to a very high amount. During my attempt at installation, the spring mount expanded as I loosened the bolt (which required a high torque impact tool). I was afraid that the nut would come off the bolt before there was sufficient gap to insert the mounting plate. I did not have the access (or ability) to put things back together once that happened. In the end, I took the tie-down to a local truck shop who installed both sides in about an hour. In use, the tie-down is fairly discrete and works very well... just don't think that the installation will be as simple as the rear tie-downs.

Fairly difficult to install, proper tools and a lift made it ok
by: Ryan06/12/2020
Better up front research for the installation instructions would have lead me to buy this at a local shop for installation. One issue with build of unit, one hole does line up which is requiring me to modify the bracket to fit, hole is off by half a hole size.
Installation has to two issues for the backyard mechanic 1) requires the loosening of the front bolt of the rear leaf spring and subsequent re-torquing to 320ftlbs something the average person does not have the capability to do 2) the install of the bolts through the leaf spring bracket requires small hands, long pliers and a lot of patience. Long story short I am forced to take my vehicle to a local shop to complete install. Rear tie down brackets were an easy install. Product looks to be stout and i am sure will function as advertised once installed completely.

This is the 2nd set of tie-downs I had. The 1st set was for a 2000 pound truck camper on a 3/4 ton I had for 13 years. Worked fine. It lost the antitrust paint but perfectly safe. After a year of frequent traveling, including a lot of bumpy field/forest roads, the 2nd set is for a 3300 pound 8-11 NL camper on a 1 ton Ram and holds the load as safely as the first.
by: Kyle 12/27/2020
Easy install instructions, gave me excuse to buy impact gun as spring bolt had such high tightening requirement. Other than that pretty simple process and do exactly what intended, keep camper on truck.
by: Randy06/02/2021
Perfect fit, although loosening the leaf spring bolts tough.

The units appeared to be well made and were nicely painted. I installed them on my F150. The tools and hardware supplied were of good quality and installation was straight forward. Two people would have been great, but I was able to install both sides in a little less than an hour. The holes all line up very well. I like these better than the previous units I had on my 2013, as they do not stick out as far - so less noticeable. The extension arms come out at a very nice angle just under the body. I find these units with quality I expected and I think they will be highly functional in attaching my camper.
by: Dot07/15/2022
I had the mountings professionally attached to the frame. The hatches can be easily removed when not in use( and I would recommend that to keep them from being stolen). Using chains and turnbuckles, I feel very comfortable with my truck camper staying where it is.. does not rock, very solid.
It’s nice to feel secure about my camper staying firmly attached.
It was worth the investment.

For you 2019 Ram 3500 with the 6.5' bed use the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver part # TLD1111-30.

So as long as the board ends before reaching the bed on your Ram truck, then there will be no interference. The correct TorkLift tie-downs on your 2022 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed and a factory hitch or TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum 30K are the following: - Front: TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs...

Therefore, the correct Torklift Camper Tie Downs for your truck are # TLD2141 for the front, and # TLD3112 for the rear. For a set of Turnbuckles, I recommend the TorkLift Locking FastGuns # TLS9529-2-LK.

The reason for that is, standard extenders don't have the capacity needed for you to tow, but you can do this if you add the TorkLift hitch and extenders. The only thing I can't tell you is the length you need as that's something you'll have to measure for. But there are a variety of lengths available. For your 2019 Ram...
