Expert Answers about Chevrolet Tie Down Anchors


  • Comparing Installations Of Camper Tie-Downs For a 2013 Ram 1500 With 6-1/2' Bed
  • First of all the board or step underneath truck bed is referring to nerf bar or step that extends past the cab of your 2013 Ram 1500 to where it can also be used for accessing items in your bed. These will look like the Westin R5 Modular Nerf Bars # 28-534310. There are really 3 different types of tie down anchors used for anchoring a slide in truck camper. Really a good, better, best comparison. The Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSSF are the good anchors. These anchors are the...

  • Difference Between The Brophy Tie Downs TDSF and HSSF For a Camper Towed By a 2000 Ford F-150
  • I contacted our representative at Brophy about the differences between the Tie Down Anchor, part # TDSF, and the Camper Tie Down, part # HSSF. Part # TDSF can be used on campers that have a total length of up to 8 feet in length. Part # HSSF can be used on any size campers. Part # TDSF mounts into the stake pocket, where as part # HSSF mounts over the sidewall of the truck bed. Also, part # HSSF is ok to use in trucks with spray-in bed liners. If your truck has a drop-in bed liner, it...

  • What is the Difference Between ShockStrap Ratcheting ATV and Motorcycle Tie-Down Kits
  • ShockStrap Ratcheting Tie-Down Kit w/ Built-In Shock Absorbers # 297-7RSBB-M comes with strap latches on the ends, which you can see more of in the video I have linked. The similar version, # 297-9RSBB-M, does not have those strap latches. The latches are to help keep tie-down hooks from detaching from their anchor points when there is slack in the line.

  • Comparing Brophy and etrailer D-Ring Tie Down Anchors
  • Based solely on price and capacity the etrailer D-ring anchor part # RRING-R6000 and the Brophy part # RR05 do not make perfect sense but they are made by two different companies and sometimes we are able to get better deals on things from one company. What I do really like more about the Brophy is the square bolt holes that allow you to use a carriage bolt that will hold itself in place when tightening whereas the etrailer has round holes and would require someone to hold a wrench to...

  • Cargo Tie Down Recommendations for 5x8 Enclosed Cargo Trailer
  • Between the three cargo tie-down anchors you referenced, parts # RR2K, # RR8K and # RR09, I would go with the # RR2K because it includes the reinforcing backing plate and because it offers you the choice of recessed or surface mounting. Since your cargo items just need to be secured inside the trailer, but not have their full weight held, these items should be fine. I can offer you another option to consider, one that might better suit the trailer and cargo items, but that will be up to...

  • Difference Between Stake Pockets
  • I believe you may have been referencing the Curt # C83072 and the etrailer # HW03-080 because the only stake pocket from Redline is the Stake Pocket Tie-Down Anchor # WFSPDR which has a D-ring and is much more than twice the Curt because it has a different application. Assuming that, the difference between the two stake pockets is simply the dimensions. The Curt # C83072 has inner dimensions of 3-3/4" long x 1-5/8" wide x 3" tall and has steel which is 3/16" thick, while the etrailer #...

  • What is the Difference Between a Vertical and Horizontal E-Track Including the Dimensions
  • The main difference between the horizontal and vertical E-tracks is which way the slots on the bar run. The horizontal E-track cargo control like part # E19148 can be mounted horizontally on the wall or floor in an enclosed cargo or open trailer. It also creates several tie down points to secure loads. It is 5 feet long and has a overall width of 5-inches. The slots each have a length of 2.45-inches and a width of .58 inches. See diagram to the right. Additional lengths we offer are 2...

  • Comparing Brophy Camper Tie Downs # HSSF and # HSAB
  • The Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs - Bed Mount - Black Powder Coated Steel - Qty 4 # HSSF and the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs - Bed Mount - Black Powder Coated Steel - Qty 4 # HSAB will be equally strong. I reached out to my contact at the manufacturer and they said the tie down strength will be limited by your vehicle and that the only difference between these tie downs is the tab and where it connects. I've attached videos of both products for you.

  • Is There a Difference Between ShockStrap Ratchet Motorcycle and UTV Tie-Downs
  • The only difference between the ShockStrap Ratchet UTV Tie-Downs with Shock Absorbers # 297-7RSBB-UTV and ShockStrap Ratchet Motorcycle Tie-Downs with Shock Absorbers # 297-7RSBB-M is the title, so people searching for either UTV or Motorcycle tie-downs can find them easier. So these are the same set of four 1-1/2" wide x 7' long straps with rubber-coated S-hooks with a 1,000 lbs working load limit (per strap). I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the ShockStrap...

  • Difference Between Brophy Tie-Down # RR06 And # RR6K
  • There is no difference between the D-Ring Tie Down, part # RR06 and the tie-down that is included in the # RR6K other than the backing plate and the mounting hardware. the D-Ring is the same for both of these items. These have a capacity of 6,000 lbs and a safe working load limit of 2,000 lbs. These are a bolt-on design. The recessed ring swivels 360 degrees. I have attached a photo of the tie-down that shows the dimensions you can check out.

  • Comparing Brophy Truck Bed Camper Tie Downs
  • On the ends of the Brophy tie downs # HSAB where you would tie off the camper the tip is turn up to be parallel with the ground. The angled design allows more clearance between hold-downs and truck fenders.On # HSSF the tips are not turn up and are at about a 45 degree angle. For either kit I also recommend the associated hardware package # TDHP.

  • Difference In Working Load Limit Between CargoBuckle Tie-Downs
  • Although both systems have a strap that measures 2 inches X 6 ft, they have completely different mounting styles and that is why the difference in the WLL(safe working load limit) exists. The WLL is 1/3 of the maximum break strength of the system. As the attached photo shows, part # IMF18804, uses 4 bolts and a plate below the mounting surface it is attached to. The WLL is 1,167 lbs, and the breaking strength is 3,500 lbs for this tie-down. The CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Straps,...

  • Difference Between The Magnum 20K And 30K Tie Downs For A 2011 GMC Sierra
  • There actually is no difference at all between the Magnum 30K and 20K tie downs for the 2011 GMC Sierra. It will be the same part # TLC3212 whether you have the 20K or 30K magnum hitch. I think we have them under both hitch listings, which is why it appears more than once in the fit guide. But the rear tie downs will be one and the same.

  • Malone Inflatable Roof Rack Compatibility
  • The Malone HR20 Inflatable Roof Rack part MPG453 (discontinued) and the Malone HandiRack Inflatable Roof Rack part # MPG452 are both very similar alternatives to a traditional roof rack. A few key points to make is that the HandiRack has a weight capacity of up to 180 lbs whereas the HR20 can only support up to 44 lbs. The HandiRack also comes with both bow and stern tie-downs and the HR20 does not. With that being said either one would work for you but the the HandiRack will offer a greater...

  • TorkLift Frame-Mounted Truck Camper Tie-Downs versus Clamp-On Type for 2017 Ram 1500
  • A frame-mounted camper tie-down system will generally be a better option than a clamp-on type since it uses the strength of the truck's frame to secure the slide-in camper. For your 2017 Ram 1500 we have a number of such frame-mount kits from TorkLift that appear on the linked page. The fit of the front and rear tie-downs depends on the truck's overall configuration including bed length, hitch type and whether or not there is a step under the bed. You can use the Select Vehicle Style...
