Get the safest and most comfortable ride while hauling your camper with tie-downs that mount on the frame of your pickup. Great for your truck's looks: remove the arms from the brackets and you'll hardly know that the brackets are there.
Features:
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.
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.
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.
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.

I just had a chance to put on quite a few miles in various conditions in these things perform flawlessly. I had some trouble with the installation as one of my frame bolts nut came loose so I had to drill another hole next to it and put a backer plant in the box but it turned out to work just fine doing that.
The TorkLift tie downs were relatively easy to install. They look great. They are designed well. It will give us peace of mind having them on our truck with our new big camper. We have not gone out camping yet to try them out, but expect good performance from them. Thanks to etrailer for helping us get them.
Installed front hitch in front and rear tie-downs.
Solid as a rock and easy to install
Extremely nice. Well packaged delivered fast great communication. The parts went on the truck easier than expected and very well engineered.
Once again the direction were not helpful at all. Found a [online] video that helped the most. Passenger side install was a breeze... the drivers was not!!! It's on but due to the fuel tank and guard on my 05 Sierra 3500 being so close to the frame I was not able to reach the flange nuts with my torque wrench. Due to the lack of space between the nuts and the fuel tank I had to rely on tightening them with an open end wrench. (Not ideal) To make matters more interesting I had to place a block of wood behind the flange in order to get the flange to stay in position and get the tie down on to the flange nuts. IMO Forklift engineers should develop a front tie down that is better suited to 2001-2007 GMC 3500 trucks. And non engineers should create the directions!!! It's 2021 - creating an install videos for their products should be a given.
The Torklift tie downs for my 2003 Chevrolet Silverado are as advertised. A quality product. I installed them without any issues. The instructions are straight forward and provide pictures for those who need visual assistance. Very happy with these tie downs.
Great product. Was easy to install. It has
Worked great. The camper came with fast gun tie down system. I would recommend using these also
These tie-down supports are sturdy. Istallation was a bit of a challenge and required holes to be drilled to bolt the upper and lower pieces together, because where they matched up there wasn't a hole. I'm not sure if this was missed or done intentionally to allow for proper alignment first. These were advertised as "no drilling required" but that was not the case. Luckly I am somewhat mechanically inclined. If not, I advise a professional does the install.
I was a bit unsure about the stability of this style of attachment to the frame when I first purchased these. After installing, testing and a year of constant use, they are still strong.
No bends or soft spots in the design.
Paint did chip off after about 6 months of road use
vary easy to install. Was shorted 2 metric locking nuts was only issue.
See my SuperHitch 20K original review - excellent product and etrailer is the best
Already installed! Installation was easy, Installation instructions for the TLC2204 could use a revision. I spent more time trying to understand the instructions than the installation itself. :{
Perfect Fit! Great Quality!
were definitely difficult to install, recommend getting a shop to do it. but afterwards worked great! very adjustable and sturdy.
These worked perfect on my 09 3500 HD and 10-2 Northern Lite.
