IMPORTANT OWNER-OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FRONT TIEDOWNS
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
Attention:
This no-drill application does not utilize any factory holes in the vehi-
cle’s main frame (as there are no factory holes). The tiedown receiver
will be attached via heavy duty clamp straps on the inside of the truck
frame.
There is enough room to install the C2204 Tie Down between the frame
and the gas tank, but if the tank is closer than normal, you may choose to
loosen the straps for the tank and move it away from the frame while
completing the installation.
1. Starting with the passenger’s side, remove the factory bed bolt from the bed
support tower (See Photo 1). Locate a bent support strap and align the hole in the
bent support strap with the factory hole in the bed support tower. Place a lock
washer and 2 at washers onto the 12mm x 1.75 x 50mm bolt and install hand tight
(See Photo 2 and 3).
2. Locate a clamp strap with welded on bolts and place the clamp strap into the
inside of the frame. The clamp strap is located on the inside of the c-frame and the
two welded on bolts are facing toward the vehicle driveline (See Photo 4). NOTE:
This is a no-drill application and the threaded bolts will not go through any
holes in the frame! Lift the back of the tiedown receiver over the two welded on
bolts (See Photo 5) the photo of the tiedown receiver is positioned in the inside of
the frame (unlike our other tiedown applications, the receiver will not be posi-
tioned on the outside of the frame). Notice that the clamp strap is sandwiched be-
tween the inside of the frame and the receiver in PHOTO 6. Install a anged lock
nut onto each of the bolts and hand tighten at this time (See Photo 7).

* ‘07 New Body Style E-brake cable addendum (see page 9).
4. THE TIGHTENING OF THE BOLTS MUST OCCUR IN THE ORDER
THAT IS STATED IN THIS STEP. Lift tie down receiver until it touches the
bottom of the frame and tighten the 2 anged lock nuts on the back of the frame
to 60 ft lbs. NOTE: THE CLAMP STRAP BOLTS WILL BE SLIGHTLY
ANGLED AND THE FLANGE NUTS WILL NOT SIT FLAT, THIS IS
NORMAL Tighten the anged lock nut that attaches the bent support strap to the
tiedown receiver to 60 ft lbs. Tighten the metric bolt attaching to the bed support
tower to 60 ft lbs.
5. After all bolts have been tightened, check to be certain that the tiedown receiv-
er is touching the bottom of the frame.
6. Find one insert and place into the tiedown receiver, install a 1/4” pin. Make
sure that the triangle plate located on the end of the insert is pointing towards the
front of the truck. This bracket is designed to increase the angle of the tiedown
chain/turnbuckle.
You should have at least 1” clearance between the insert and the lip of the
box or after market accessory.

Torklift utilizes quality grade 304 stainless steel in
this product.
304 stainless steel is well known for its anti cor-
rosive properties, however in some environments
such as coastal regions or when in contact with
some road chemicals, corrosion may occur.
We recommend occasional polishing of our product
to maintain its attractive nish. Use an approved
stainless steel cleaning/polishing product which can
be purchased from any automotive supplier.

Frame Mounted Tie Downs
Leading the camper tie down industry in
strength, quality, advanced design and installa-
tion. 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
patented. 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
model to t tight to the frame so as not to compromise ground clearance. Tork-
Lift tie downs are not universal ‘one size ts all’ therefore all the problems with
correct t for each particular application have been eliminated.
Original SuperHitch & SuperHitch Magnum
High strength extended hitch system engineered for safely towing all types of
trailers behind your truck and camper. With a max towing capacity of 14,000
lbs. with an extension* , (17,000 lbs. to 20,000 lbs. without*) the Original Su-
perHitch and Superhitch Magnum are 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 appli-
cations may reqire shing through
various star washers and at wash-
ers for example.
Your guide to understanding the installation of our frame mounted tie downs.
This side of the Bolt Fisher should come
out of a hole where the required hardware
(for example 1” X 2” plate washer) can pass
through.
-Opposite End of Bolt Fisher-
Desired Hole on Vehicle (Place the coiled
end of the bolt sher through this hole).
WARNING: PULLING TOO HARD ON THE BOLT FISHER CAN RESULT IN
LOST FASTENERS, OR BROKEN BOLT FISHER.

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 camperdoes 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 (orsettling) can occurin 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 corrosionfromthesefactorsonpowdercoated steel products,Torklift recommendsregu-
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.
