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.

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.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.
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.

A year later, I just got back from camping trip. I love the easy set up of these hitches. I’m a 65 year old woman, and I can put these mounts on my truck in less than five minutes. Then, another 10 or 15 to put the chains and turn buckles on, make them tight. I usually drive about 5 miles maybe 10, go get gas, and give all the chains a shake to make sure they’re still tight. If not, spin the turnbuckles a time or Two. And off, I go. I am extremely happy with this investment. Of all the things I bought after buying the camper, this has brought me the most security and feeling of safety. Good luck, happy camping whatever you decide.
Arrived with missing pieces. My truck was at a shop where I had to make an appointment for the installation. They had to stop the installation because the two 2" X 2" spacers were missing. I had to run to Home Depot and buy a metal bar and spray paint for $30, and pay the installer $50 to cut and fabricate and paint the pieces to fit, otherwise I would not have been able to put my camper on the truck for my vacation. Pretty costly error because someone didn't pack all the pieces. I spent extra money for shipping too. Overall a really bad deal.

Your product is great was easy to install on my F-150. Since then I got a F-250 and ordered another set.
Installed great Just what I needed
Fast free shipping, quality parts, and relatively simple to install.
They look good but I haven't installed them yet, so I can't give an opinion about how good they are.
These front tie downs bolt on easy and hold solid like you need. Low profile appearance - don't stand out when not using and inserts removed. Great product - love mine! I bought both the front and rear. You won't be disappointed.

Couldn’t be happier with the product and the purchase!!
These went on as well as could be expected for where they are installed. The rears are easier than the fronts. The fronts went well with the provided instructions and the awesome bolt thread wires. Functionally they are perfect for holding down my camper.
The rear tie-downs have functioned very well, and were generally easy to install.
The corresponding front tie-downs were not so easy. They did not fit exactly, probably due to the fact that my F-150 had a heavy duty suspension and extra load capacity, so the alignment of holes was not perfect. I had to do some modification that was a challenge, but I succeeded (I think!). The system has functioned just fine for a couple of trips.
Torklift tiedowns work great. I was worried about installing them myself but was able to do it. It was a little tricky but not too bad. Highly recommend. Installed on a 2016 Ford F-150.
They worked just fine. Easy install,bolted right on. But now I have a newer truck with retractable running boards and they won't work. But original installation was great
The front torquelift camper mounts for my 2017 ford f150 supercab 6.5 bed required grinding resulting from interference with bed/frame mount. Lower shackle mount did not line up. Rear mounts installed with no problem.
The tie downs were easy to install and are very convenient to use. The tie down brakets stay hidden until I need to slide the hangers in. Very simple.
Parts seem very solid and instructions were great. Customer service was great too. I had written an email inquiring as to why they're was such a delay in my shipping, and got a very reasonable and appropriate response. In addition, the delay shortened and my parts got here in time.
SAVED THE DAY
Just what I needed.

Worked like a champ...
Service was excellent. I called with questions and Molly answered every one accurately. I ordered the camper tie downs and they were delivered in less than 48 hours later. I installed them myself. Great product.
Quality product with plenty of online demos for installation advice. Online ordering was easy and delivery was as promised. What more could you possibly ask for!
I installed them at home, rather than pay the shop several hundred dollars. The installation was straight forward with clear instructions. It took me 2 1/2 hours start to finish for front and rear, the same as quoted by the shop.
Love the tie downs.
Great product when you send the correct item. Thank you,
You make a great product, and easy to install
