Unfortunately the deployable running boards are going to prevent the installation of TorkLift camper tie-downs so the only other option would be Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSAB. These tie-downs clamp to the inner lip of the bedrails and angle down along the body of the bed. Because of this you will want to do a bit of measuring beforehand to ensure that the tie-down won't touch the bed and scratch your paint. I've attached a diagram below so that you can take some measurements.

For turnbuckles you can use the Brophy Basic Turnbuckles # TDHP to complete your setup.

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…
