AFTER INSTALL, PLEASE GIVE
THIS BOOKLET TO YOUR CUSTOMER
Minor movement (or settling) can occur in some incidental harsh driving conditions
(on or off road).
A rubber bed mat is not a requirement to maintain the lifetime warranty on a Torklift sys-
tem, but a strong recommendation, simply as a safety precaution to protect the truck bed,
the bottom of the camper and to give the camper additional support.
Warning!!
TORKLIFT DOES NOT RECOMMEND: Installing your truck camper in your truck on top of
a drop in plastic bed liner!!! THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
The drop in plastic bed liners can slide on top of the truck bed surface, and the camper can
slide on top of the slick surface of the bed liner. The liner can also act as a spring causing a
trampoline effect increasing vertical truck camper movement, independent of the vehicle,
possibly resulting in truck bed damage and/or camper damage!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Locate and inventory all parts to become familiar with all brackets
2. Find the drivers side and passenger side tiedown receiver. Install the passenger side rst.
HINT: To simplify the installation, install only one TorkLift tiedown bracket at a time. This will
keep from having realignment problems with the bumper brackets.
3. Now, loosen all ve bolts (include factory double bolt plate) on the rear corner bumper support bracket,
remove only the four small bolts while leaving the larger bolt to hold the corner bracket in postion. [(4)
15mm x (1) 13/16]
4. The second welded plate from the end of the TorkLift tiedown receiver will need to be sandwiched be-
tween the corner bumper support bracket and the frame using the factory bolts that were removed (as
seen in photo A & D).
Once the tiedown has been slid up between the frame plate and the corner support bracket, reinstall two of
the factory bolts through the corner bumper support bracket and the tiedown and hand tighten.
5. Install the Torklift supplied 1/2” x 2” hex bolt with two 1/2” at washers into the factory slotted hole (as
seen in photo B). Install ONE 1” x 2” plate washer ,1/2” lock washer and a 1/2” nut on the hex bolt DO
NOT TIGHTEN.
6. Now snug up the large factory bolt but, DO NOT TIGHTEN AT THIS TIME (this is to allow the holes to
line up so that the factory double bolt plate can be installed {see step 7}).
7. At this point the factory double bolt plate can be reinstalled in the corner bumper support bracket. You
may need a screwdriver through one of the open holes to obtain proper hole alignment.
8. Replace the nuts on the factory double bolt plate and tighten all fasteners.
9. Find one bent insert and 1/4” pin and put the insert into the receiver.Using the hole in the insert, install
1/4” pin.
10. You should have at least 1” clearance between the insert and the lip of the truck bed or after market
accessory. Tighten all fasteners. 1/2” bolts to 60 ft. lbs.

Frame Mounted Tie Downs
Leading the camper tie down industry in strength,
quality, advanced design and installation. TorkLift TRUE
frame mounted tie downs are far superior to all tie
down systems available.
The TorkLift system is unique in its design and is pat-
ented. Four independent tie down points (with no belly
or crossbar) working much like your receiver type trailer
hitch as the inserts are removable allowing the system
to be virtually undetectable when not in
use.
They are designed for each make and mod-
el to t tight to the frame so as not to compromise ground clearance. TorkLift tie downs are
not universal ‘one size ts all’ therefore all the problems with correct t for each particular
application have been eliminated.
Super Hitch
High strength extended hitch system engineered for safely towing all types of trailers
behind your truck and camper. With a towing capacity of 12,000 lbs. with an extension,
(17,000 lbs. without) the SuperHitch is rated the strongest in the industry.

This bottom example shows the bolt when it’s completely shed
through the vehicle. You may nd it easier to keep the bolt sher
attached until you get the tie down receiver in place so that the bolt
doesn’t fall into the vehicle frame.
TORKLIFT’S BOLT FISHING GUIDE
Coiled End of Bolt Fisher
Note: The hardware may vary
as to what is being shed along
with the bolt. In this instance
a 1” X 2” plate washer is being
shed along with the hex bolt.
Different applications may req-
ire shing through various star
washers and at washers for
example.
Your guide to understanding the installation of our frame mounted tie downs.
This side of the Bolt Fisher should come

(for example 1” X 2” plate washer) can
pass through

TIEDOWN INSERT INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
On one end of each of your tiedown inserts is a triangular plate
referred to by Torklift as a bullet plate. Your tiedown inserts should be
installed with the shorter side of the bullet plate facing away from each
other, i.e.. The shorter side of the front insert should point to the front of
the truck and the shorter side of the rear insert should point towards the
rear of the truck.
Once installed, attach the TorkLift directional stickers to the face of
the bullet plate on the insert as a reminder.

When securing any heavy load (especially a camper) in your truck bed, your front tie down points
should pull the load forward as much as possible. Some camper anchor points may differ with dif-
ferent manufacturers, as well as the camper jack mounting locations. Your Torklift tie down inserts
have offset triangular brackets to increase the angle of pull. These are designed to be used in the
front facing forward, and the rear facing rearward but can be used in either front or rear. These
recommendations are to be considered and followed as a basic rule of thumb . Obviously there will
be some applications where this may not be possible. At a minimum, if opposite pull of both front
and rear tiedowns cannot be achieved for whatever reason, you should have at least a forward pull
at the front or rear location.
If your camper does not come with Rubber Bumpers on the front lower portion of the camper, install-
ing Rubber Bumpers (Torklift has Rubber Bumpers available Part
A7001) or using a block of wood such as a 2 x 4 in the bed, will prevent the camper from damaging
the front bulk head of the truck bed.
Minor movement (or settling) can occur in some incidental harsh driving conditions (on or off road).
A rubber bed mat is not a requirement to maintain the lifetime warranty on a Torklift system, but
a strong reccommendation simply as a safety precaution to protect the truck bed, the bottom of the
camper and to give the camper additional support.
TORKLIFT DOES NOT RECOMMEND: Installing your truck camper in your truck on top of a
drop in plastic bed liner!!! The drop in plastic bed liners can slide on top of the truck bed surface,
and the camper can slide on top of the slick surface of the bed liner. The liner can also act as a
spring causing a trampoline effect increasing vertical truck camper movement, independent of the
vehicle, possibly resulting in truck bed, and camper damage!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FINISH MAINTENANCE
OF TORKLIFT PRODUCTS
POWDER COATED STEEL:
To keep your Torklift products looking good follow these guidlines. All steel powder coated Torklift
products are sandblasted for maximum adhesion and use a high quality industrial urethane based
powder coat. Due to the extreme, harsh, undercar environment that your Torklift products live in,
(consistantly sprayed with corrosive road chemicals such as salt, and road debris), Torklift does not
warranty the power coated nish.
To minimize corrosion from these factors on powder coated steel products, Torklift recommends regu-
larly cleaning and inspecting the powder coated surface and touching up any affected areas with an
enamel or urethane based aerosol paint product. If there are any areas of surface rust, there are also
aerosol spray rust converters available on the market that can be used as a preparation to touch-up
paint application. These nish maintenance products are available at any automotive parts supplier.
POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL :
Torklift utilizes quality grade 304 stainless steel in our stainless steel polished products. 304 stain-
less steel is well known for its anti-corrosive properties. However, in some environments such as
coastal regions or when coming in contact with some road chemicals, corrosion may occur.
For a quick clean simply use WD40 and a cloth rag. We also recommend occasional polishing of
our polished stainless products to maintain their attractive nish. Use an approved stainless steel
chrome or aluminum mag wheel polish cleaning product which can be purchased from any auto-
motive parts supplier.
