Custom camper tie-downs that are mounted to the frame of your 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with 6-1/2 foot bed will be a lot more secure and stable than the clamp on, bed mount versions. They are custom built for your truck so they're compatible, and they mount to the base of the truck to distribute weight better and prevent the camper from being too top heavy.

For your Chevy the compatible TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs # TLC4203 are what you will need for the front. For the rear it depends if your truck is an HD, you will need # TLC3205, or if it's an LD, you will need # TLC3203.

Lance does have a proprietary plug, but many customers see a standard 6-way or 7-way round and notice it doesn't fit their factory 7-way as well. I've attached an article to help if you have one of the 7-way or 6-way round connectors which we…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the #PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory 7-way…

I'm assuming your 2024 F-250 has the 6-3/4' bed. If that is correct, the right tie-downs are in fact the #TLF3008 and #TL77CR. TorkLift has accounted for the bed access steps on the 2024 model and confirmed these will fit your truck.

Answer 11

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…
