Question

Question:

Hi, I am looking to purchase 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 8 Foot Bed front and rear camper tie downs. I just want to make sure I understand what the difference is between with board or step extending under bed and without board or step underneath truck bed. Thanks,

The boards/steps that are mentioned in the fitguide for the Torklift camper tie downs refers to the steps you sometimes see under truck cabs to make getting in and out of the truck a bit easier. Some call them nerf bars, side steps, tube steps etc.

Let's say you got an 8 foot bed 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 with side steps, and a factory hitch. You'd want the part # TL44FR and # TL84FR.

If you had a different configuration let me know or follow the link I attached on this page where you can select your setup from the drop down menu.

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

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…

The proper extension for your setup would be the one that allows you to have clearance of your hitch mounted accessory and also allows you to still be able to pull the steps down. If the receiver tube sticks out past the camper too far then you will…

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.
