Since the bracket is going to sit lower you'll want to measure from the bracket of the # LC184089 up to the mounting point on the camper to determine the exact size needed. For example, the front turnbuckles of the HappiJac Original Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs # LC182898 have a 16-1/2" minimum reach and 23-1/2" maximum reach. There are other options with a longer reach if you're needing more than 23-1/2" so let me know what you have and I'd be happy to find the right fit.

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.

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.…
