A Safe Ride is a Comfortable Ride
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.
Don't Ruin Your Truck's Looks
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.
Custom Fit, No-Drill Installation
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.
Securing Your Camper
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.

Torklift tie downs work great!
by: Charles11/01/2020
I ordered the TorkLift Rear frame mount tie downs for our Ford f 350 so we could secure our Lance truck camper to our truck, E-Trailer was great my tie downs arrived two days earlier then expected so I opened the box and checked everything over just to make sure everything was in great shape and everything was so I decided to put them on and it only took me five to ten minutes for both .These tie downs make it very easy to secure our Lance truck camper to our truck and also make it very safe to travel on the highways and back roads
by: Ryan 06/10/2023
These tie downs were exactly what I needed and they arrived very fast! I will definitely buy from etrailer.com again.

I am glad I called in, because I would have ordered the wrong part. Thank You Jaime B for your help. Still not 100% sure this is the right part; I will find out this weekend when I install it. But I do have confidence that it is the right part. :)

TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Rear are mounted to my Torklift 20K hitch, easy to mount, worked flawlessly to hold down our camper.
Only issue is the bolts that came with the 20K hitch for the tubes are to short for the tubes and hitch you must use the extra bolts (2" grade 8) that come with the hitch.

The flange on the 20K is 6x6 3/8 thick the tube for the camper tie down mounts to the 6x6 flange

The right tool for the job. Thank you.
by: Dave 10/03/2022
These tiedowns were very simple to install on the end of the Torklift superHitch. If you're hauling a camper, they are a must have item. Very easy to remove when not hauling, and has a clean look.
by: Charles09/10/2019
Super fast FREE shipping! Easy installation! Much cheaper purchasing through etrailer than any trailer supply shops near my home! I’m a local business supporter but the speed of shipping and price was to good to pass up!
by: Daniel07/19/2022
So far it's great!! It took me and my buddy about 90 minutes to take off the old hitch on my 2006 Chevy 3500 dually!!! We timed ourselves! It wasn't complicated. We used a floor jack to lift the new hitch into place. All bolt holes matched perfectly. You definitely should use two people to install this thing because if it gets away from you may need to replace some fingers. It's just a heavy piece of equipment. Installing it myself saved me about $600 over having someone else install!!
by: Alexei10/31/2023
These are the gold standard. Relatively easy to install with few simple tools. Less than 2 hours. Easy to remove / add as the camper is moved from the truck. I would purchase again.
by: Chris D.09/08/2017
I've had these tie downs for a year now and they are still great. I'm using them on a custom installation so while I can't speak about fitment for your camper or truck; they still look great. They've been in mud and salt and still look great when hosed off. Torklift obviously does great powder coating. Mine are on an earlier truck (1981 K3500 dually) and while I modified my frame and Torklifts hitch in the truck build, the tie downs themselves are unmodified and went on super easy. I don't remove the outer post when not using the camper as they're not in the way ( maybe on a single wheel truck they would be). And I haven't heard them rattling, but mine isn't a quiet a truck. Wish Torklift made a good front mount solution too. My belly bar isn't as elegant as Torklifts mounts.
by: James06/08/2020
Have not actually used them yet, but they are sturdy and well positioned, and the installation was fairly easy, although I had to grind a very small (less than 1/8') off the bottom of the passenger side plate that goes inside the frame in order to get both bolts in. I don't have a camper yet, but may get the rear tie-downs, depending on size and weight of what I get. Will use bumper brackets for now. I did not think the bed mount type of tie-down would be enough for anything but a very light camper, and the through the bed into the frame type didn't appeal to me much. Not having to drill any holes was a plus, although I would have done it if necessary to get the strength I wanted. Although these tie-downs mount in a somewhat unusual way, I think they will be very functional, strong, and convenient.
by: Lyall B.12/19/2017
Mounted at the same time I installed TFL1002 Super Duty trailer hitch. Simple install and construction of tie downs are heavy duty. Much stronger than anything mounted to the rear bumper (happijack mounts).
Extensions slide right in and are secured with pin and clip. When removed they are barely noticeable looking at the truck from the side view.
by: Kris 11/30/2021
Best product for overhead camper tie-downs period. Instructions could use a little more detail and/clearer picture, but installation was relatively easy and only took approx. 2hrs to install. Much more secure than bed/bumper or stake pocket type tie downs.
by: John K.08/30/2016
Phone tech support was right on with hooking me up with the proper hitch and camper tie-downs for my application. Pricey of the TorkLift hitch, camper tie downs, and 2' double extended tow bar. Upside these are quality products that are made to do the job. Thanks to all tech support for their help!
by: Richard J11/10/2021
Received quickly but the box was showing signs that a struggle had taken place and the box lost. Upon opening the boxes I found that several pieces from the installation kit were missing, I called and an entire new installation kit was quickly shipped to me. Installation was easy and I have been very happy with the customer service.
by: Brent07/10/2021
I got the wrong part they sent me ra number and got the right super hitch shipped right away. Great customer service and would do it again because the have the best products.
by: Don 08/10/2022
Work quickly/perfectly to hold my camper down and love that they can easily be removed to make it look like they were never there!
by: Dan07/24/2015
Torklift was recommended by several dealers and services departments not to mention the reviews on the web. So we gave it a try being new to the RV scene. Instructions were great, called Torklift customer support twice and they were right on in their instructions. Was successful in installing myself, took a couple hours, next time, way sooner. Will recommend to friends and family.
by: Jerry09/28/2023
Haven't installed it yet, but looks like a perfect fit. Also looks like an easy install very pleased with the product and service.

- If the tube step on your 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed is only under the cab of the truck and no part of it is attached beyond the back of the cab then you would look at the tie downs for models without a board or step under the truck bed and with a non-TorkLift aftermarket hitch.
For the front you could then use # TLC2205. For the rear, # TLR3501. The rear tie downs will only work on aftermarket hitches that have side plates with at least a 4" x 4" footprint which seems to be

Torklift does not offer a way to get just the frame brackets at this time though.
view full answer... - Recommended Frame Mounted Camper Tie-Downs For A 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500
- The distinction you're referring to is about whether or not your Silverado has running boards or steps that sit under the bed and could block the fitment of a frame mounted camper tie-down. The hitch stipulation is in place because some people will install a TorkLift SuperHitch and they offer tie-downs that can be easily bolted to it instead of mounting separately to the frame.
If you do not have running boards or a step in the way then yes, the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper

The hitch is unique in that it has the same open-end on the tubes, the same brackets, and same chain loops, which are all distinct to the factory hitch. So for your '03 Silverado 2500HD with a 6-1/2 foot bed, cab-length boards, and factory hitch the tie-downs you need are the following:

- Your 2010 GMC Sierra 2500 Crew Cab seems to have standard running boards under the cab that do not extend under the truck bed. For that, you would use the fitguide option for the one without the step underneath the bed.
For this option, HappiJac is not available, so TorkLift is the way to go. I recommend the TorkLift Front and Rear Custom Tie Downs for your vehicle, part # TLC2205 and part # TLC3209. No drilling is required for these as they mount to the specific attachment points of

Hi Scott,hey how big is the flange that bolts on to your hitch?
