Truck Camper Tie downs

Camper tie downs have come a long way since the Belly Bar. Belly Bars are still available but the vehicle specific side mount tie downs are stronger and provide more ground clearance. Side mount or split mount tie downs are mounted to the side of the pick up's frame and usually requires no drilling. There are two manufacturers making side mount tie downs, Billis and Torque Lift. Billis tie downs are less expensive than Torque Lift but will not always work with trucks with running boards or side steps. We have found the Torque Lift tie down will work in just about any situation. Both of these companies can provide rear tie downs that mount to O.E.M. truck receivers.The only other type of tie down available is called a stake pocket tie down. They mount in the stake pocket on the top of the truck box. They are typically used for lighter duty applications. Check out Billis' fit list and Torque Lift.
