Hey Kyle, thanks for reaching out!
There aren't any cutout templates for the CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Strap # IMF18804, but I have gone out in the past and found the overall dimensions to be 9-7/8" x 6-9/16" (see attached) while the base measures about 4-1/2" deep. You can cut out some pieces of paper with these dimensions to get a good idea of how much space these will take up. view full answer...
Thanks for the information! I have a couple of options for you that I have listed below which ones you go with will be determined by the bed length of your 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD.

Hey David,
I haven't really heard from anyone saying their truck bed camper couldn't clear the cab, but vehicle manufacturers can make some wild changes after a couple of decades. With your truck being only a few years newer than the camper I'd say you're likely fine because the camper manufacturers would be going of industry standards for trucks at that time. The camper is going to be sitting inside the bed so you can just ask the seller for the measurement from the bottom of the camper... view full answer...
Hey Greg,
I've drawn up a diagram of the dimensions for the Brophy Rope D-Ring Tie-Down Anchor # BR59FR and attached it below. If you have any other questions then just let me know. view full answer...
There is not one with a 5 inch bolt length; the longest bolt length is the 3 inch bolt of the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor - Bolt On - 1/2" Diameter - 2,000 lbs # DR01. view full answer...
The Brophy Basic Turnbuckles w/ Hardware for Camper Tie-Downs item # TDHP are going to be the shortest option we carry. With the hooks on the turnbuckle portion out from the inside of one hook to the inside of the other hook is 12". The minimum length between the hooks when they are all the way in is 7-5/8".
I have a diagram below that shows the measurements for you. view full answer...
Hey Mark, so the Happijac Camper Tie Downs like the part # LC350763-182971 are not weight rated. As long as the camper was designed for your truck bed length these will work great and you won't have to worry about exceeding any weight ratings. view full answer...
Hey David,
The Brophy Slide In Camper Tie-Downs # HSSF could potentially work but you'll first want to ensure you have enough clearance for them to fit up against the inner lip of the bedrails and clear the side body of the bedrails. I've attached a diagram below of their dimensions so you can measure your bedrails and confirm fitment. To complete the setup Brophy also offers turnbuckles with part # TDHP. view full answer...
It sounds like you are definitely on the right track here. To answer your question, yes, the 2nd Tier Load Bar System # MPG474 will indeed support one of your Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL’s. The 2nd tier does have a 100 lb capacity, so as long as the kayak is at 90 lbs with the pedal system and all accessories removed you will be completely fine.
The Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer has an 800 lb capacity so even with the 2nd tier and three 90 lb kayaks you are well under the specified... view full answer...
To find the correct replacement equalizer and wet bolt/shackle strap kit for your 2024 Grand Design Imagine XLS 22BHE you'll need to first take a few measurements. For the equalizer you'll want to measure from center to center of the shackle strap bolt holes and from the center of the hanger bolt hole down to the center of the shackle strap holes. For the wet bolts/shackle straps you'll need to measure from center to center of the bolt holes.
When replacing suspension components it's... view full answer...
The Malone DownLoader Kayak Roof Rack w/ Lift Assist and Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL is our only option for a J-style with the load assist. I can tell you we were able to use this on a 2015 4Runner which you can see in the video below but I don't have any information on a lift or the tire size. The load assist is 98-1/4" tall when retracted so you can use that measurement to get a good idea if it will work for your vehicle.

Hi John,
When replacing your equalizers it's best to match the bolt hole spacings to prevent having to switch out/alter your other suspension components to fit the new spacing. You'll need to measure the horizontal distance between the shackle strap bolt holes and the vertical distance from the hanger bolt hole down to the center of the shackle strap bolt holes. Let me know what measurements you have on the current equalizers and I'd be happy to look for the correct fit. view full answer...
Hey Michael,
The Rhino-Rack Nautic SUP or Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # RR570 has a maximum crossbar dimensions of 3-7/8" wide x 1-3/8" tall so you'd just need to measure your factory crossbars to see if they fall within this sizing. You'll also want to verify the weight capacity of your crossbars as a lot of factory crossbars tend to be limited to only 100lbs, which wouldn't be enough for your Hobie Mirage Compass Duo kayak.
If your crossbars fall outside of the fitment range or don't... view full answer...

Hey Jim, thanks for reaching out and for sending the photos in!
The 30-1/2" measurement you took seems to be about right. If the equalizers started binding up then they may either need some grease for the bolts, or they may have been tightened too much. The equalizer needs the freedom to move back and forth so the bolt won't be tightened down as hard as it can go.
You might also make sure that your shackle straps are the same length as the ones that came from the factory (center hole... view full answer...
Hello Rick, those are great questions, and I can definitely help.
To answer your first question, usually we recommend that all shackles are the same size. That said, if you do need to intermix different sizes, you certainly can. Like you said, as long as both sides are equal, and the suspension is correctly aligned, you will be good to go. I do recommend keeping them all the same length if you can, just for sake of simplicity and cost effectiveness. If you ever need to replace components... view full answer...
