It is a smart idea to verify the right tie-downs because there are so many options, and we do have the correct ones for your 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500 Regular Cab with an 8 foot bed and factory hitch. The only thing that will matter apart from those things is if you have running boards that go all the way underneath your truck bed, or a step underneath your truck bed.

That will affect which front tie-down you need, though the rear tie-down will be the same no matter what. The correct tie-downs for your truck will be the following:

- TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Rear # TLC3209

- WITHOUT Board or Step Under Truck Bed: TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Front # TLC2204

- WITH Board or Step Under Truck Bed: TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Front # TLC4203

Apart from the tie-downs the other thing you will need are turnbuckles for all four corners, so a quantity of two of the TorkLift Basic SpringLoad Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs # TLS9000 or TorkLift SpringLoad XL Turnbuckles for Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLS9050A.

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.
