Connor: Connor here today at etrailer.com. We're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Torklift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper tie-downs for the rear of a 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500. So in regards to camper tie-downs, which are going to be used to secure a truck bed camper to your bed, you have a few different options. We have the ones that install inside the stake pockets. And we have the ones that actually mount to the frame, which is what we have here. Now, the ones that mount to the frame are going to be a much better option.

They're going to be easier to use, and they're going to look better. As you can see here, we're going to have the insert installed into the receiver, which means we're ready to go ahead and hook up our truck bed camper, and attach it with our turn buckles here.We have two slots here on either side. We can use either one depending on the setup of our truck bed camper. And then if we remove our truck bed camper, maybe for the winter, we're not going to be doing any camping, so we can go ahead and take it out of our truck bed. The great thing about these tie-downs are we can go ahead and remove this insert here, so we can go back to a factory look.

So another big benefit of the frame-mounted tie-downs as opposed to the stake pocket mounted tie-downs is we're going to have much more adjustability here. Number one, if we take a look at the receiver tube, which is installed on the truck here, we're going to have two different configurations for short bed or long bed trucks. And if we take a look at our insert here, we're going to see two different sets of holes here. Now, again, this is going to allow us to really sort of perfect our configuration that's going to best suit both our truck and our truck bed camper.So the different holes here are going to allow us, if we have a truck, we have a dually truck we're going to have those large rear fenders. And we're going to need more clearance for our turnbuckles so we can get them out away from the vehicle.

That's what this other adjustment hole is going to be for. But if we have a single rear wheel model like we see here, we can go ahead and snug these up. Now, granted, there are going to be some other instances where we may need to use the longer offset on a single rear wheel truck or vice versa. It's all going to come down to what truck bed camper you have, and the turnbuckles you're using. So we're really going to be able to get a nice custom like install.

It's going to be best suited for our truck and truck bed camper. So in regards to installation, these are going to be a custom fit here for our vehicle.They're going to be very, very easy to install, and we're not going to need a lot of mechanical experience or a lot of different specialized tools in order to be able to do this. It's definitely something you can do at home, by yourself, on the ground. So keep in mind, there's going to be quite a few different rear and front camper tie-downs for our truck, depending on the configuration, such as the bed length, the cab size, if you have a single or dual wheel model, as well as a couple other things here. So make sure you use our fit guide to ensure you're getting the proper fit. This particular rear tie down here is going to be specific to models with the Torklift Magnum 30K trailer hitch. So now that we've gone over some of the benefits and features, let's go ahead and jump right into installation, and show you how it's done.So the first step of our installation here, we want to come over to either side of our trailer hitch here. As you can see, we're going to have an L bracket that's attaching our trailer hitch to the bottom of the perch for our lease spring. So we're going to have two bolts holding this on. We're going to have a 7/16 bolt up here. And we're going to have a half inch bolt down here. Now we need to go ahead and remove the nuts, washers and lock washers on both of the ends of the bolt here so we can remove this L bracket. So for this top one here, we're going to need an 18 millimeter socket. Now we're going to use a 19 millimeter socket, and we're going to take off that other bolt there. We'll come around to the backside, grab the end of our bolt here. We're going to have another one up top, and then we should be able to remove this bracket.So now we need to go ahead and fish some hardware down into the spring perch here. Now we can actually already go ahead and use one of the bolts that we have that we're holding our L bracket to the frame here, but we're going to need to install
