The Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSAB referenced in your question is a universal design that will work on most trucks. You will just want to make sure that the external bed rail width on your truck is not greater than 5-1/2 inches and that there is at least 2 inches of space beneath the lip of the bed rail. These will do a great job of supplying heavy duty attachment points for securing your camper to the truck bed.

These tie-downs do not have a particular weight capacity or size limit. They are designed to work for any camper size that is properly sized for your truck. I recommend adding the Basic Turnbuckles w/ Hardware # TDHP to secure the camper to the Tie-Downs.

I have attached a demonstration video so you can see exactly how these will install on your truck.
