  • Will Brophy HSSF or TDSF camper Tie Downs Damage the Bed on a 2014 Ram 1500
  • I have not heard of anyone complaining about the stake pocket tie downs # TDSF damaging the truck bed. The same for # HSSF.

But if someone where to then use associated hardware # TDHP and over tighten it then I could see how someone could bend the metal of the bed where the tie downs are installed. The best truck bed camper tie downs...

  • Is Gap Between Camper Bottom And Top Of Truck Bed Side Rails A Concern
  • When a camper is loaded on a pickup truck bed there will be a gap between the truck bed rails and the underside of the camper as you show in your photo. No worries there.

  • Torklift FastGun Turnbuckles TLS9521 made For Bed Mount Or Frame Mount Tie Downs?
  • Yes, the Torklift FastGun Turnbuckles # TLS9521 are intended to be used with bed-mounted tie downs, rather than frame-mounted. We would never recommend using a strap as a camper tie down. At the very least you would need to use a standard steel turnbuckle. The Torklift FastGun Turnbuckles are going to be the most secure and durable that we offer.

You will however need some turnbuckles to go along with the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSAB you were looking at. The Brophy Basic Turnbuckles w/ Hardware for Camper Tie-Downs # TDHP would be the correct tie downs for this application.

  • Slide In Camper Tie Down Options for 2002 Chevy 2500 HD Pickup Truck

  • Which TorkLift Rear Tie Down For Truck Bed Camper on 2003 Chevy 1500 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed
  • I checked with my contact over at TorkLift and it's possible that you're going to need a different part because of the differences in the frame size. There are two different frame heights that the 1500HD can have at the rear of the frame by the spare tire or bumper. If your 1500 has a frame height of 5.5" tall the # TLC3203 is the correct tie down but if your frame is 8" tall at the rear, the # TLC3205 is the correct tie down. From the order you placed with us, it looks like you purchased...

  • Since you will be using tie downs as well as the E-Chock Wheel Chocks # EM09162-2 you shouldn't need more than 1 pair.
