For your 2002 Chevy 1500 Short Bed Crew Cab 4x4 (with the # DT45512 hitch you mentioned), you will need the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Front # TLC2205 and the Rear # TLR3501. These are the confirmed fit for your truck.

If you don't already have turnbuckles, I recommend the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles for Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs - Stainless Steel - Black - Qty 4 # TLS9529-2-LK. These lever action turnbuckles are easy to install and reduces stress on your tie-down points with spring tension indicators. They have the secure lockable pins to secure your equipment. I've attached a video to assist.

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.…
