Since the camper is longer than the bed of your truck you will have to go with a Torklift style of camper tie down as the Brophy tie downs can't be used with the campers longer than the truck bed.

If you can get back to me with the bed length, cab style, and if you have running boards and a factory hitch I can set you up with what you'd need. Here's a link to everything in the meantime though.

Hey Jameson It is a 8' bed, double cab, with running boards, and factory hitch.

Thanks! That means the tie downs you need are the Torklift # TLC4204 and # TLC3215 and you'd be set in that regard. For a set of turn buckles to connect the tie downs to the camper we then have the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles for Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs # TLS9529-2-LK which will work great and you'd have your setup all taken care of.

Yes there is! For that we have the Torklift SpringLoad XL kit part # TLS9050A which are much better on price and also are stainless steel.

The current Torklift tie down part #TLD3101 that you have installed on your 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 only fits if you have the factory hitch. If you go with the SuperHitch part #TLD1100 you would need to change your rear tie down to the part #TLR3503.
