  • Compatible HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie Downs For A 2006 Dodge Ram Pickup
  • HappiJac truck-mounted camper tie-downs are brand and model specific so if you pulled one out of a Ford then it would not be compatible with your 2006 Dodge Ram. You would need the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # LC182908-182928. If you also need turnbuckles then I recommend the HappiJac Qwik-Load Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs # LC182895. The built-in levers on these turnbuckles allow you to quickly and easily secure your truck bed camper to your tie-down system.
