Warnings
Truck Bed and Camper Protection
Torklift does not recommend installing your camper on top of a plastic bed liner (or other
compressible material such as foam). These materials can act as a spring, causing increased
vertical truck camper movement independent of the vehicle. Plastic bed liners can slide on the
truck bed surface, and the truck camper can slide on top of the bed liner. Using a plastic bed
liner or similar compressible material will void your warranty and may additionally cause truck
bed and/or camper damage.
Minor movement or settling can occur in some incidental harsh driving conditions (on or off-
road). A rubber bed mat is recommended to protect the truck bed and camper, but is not a
requirement to maintain the Torklift legendary lifetime warranty.
Suspension
To significantly reduce body roll, sag and sway Torklift strongly recommends the StableLoad.
Torklift International StableLoads improve safety, handling, and to help level your truck. More
information can be found at (www.Torklift.com/stableload).
If your truck is additionally equipped with suspension air bags Torklift cautions against over
pressurization as this may lead to unsafe vehicle handling characteristics. We have found that
airbags used in conjunction with StableLoads have allowed operators to lower air bag pressure
by 50% or more. Only pressurize suspension air bags enough to level the truck.

2 - TORKLIFT STICKERS INSTALLATION
This no-drill application does not utilize any factory holes in the vehicle’s main
frame (as there are no factory holes). The tie down 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 flat 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 tie down receiver over the two welded on
bolts (See Photo 5) the photo of the tie down receiver is positioned in the inside of
the frame (unlike our other tie down applications, the receiver will not be
positioned on the outside of the frame). Notice that the clamp strap is sandwiched
between the inside of the frame and the receiver in (See Photo 6). Install a flanged
lock nut onto each of the bolts and hand tighten at this time (See Photo 7).

3. Next attach the upper support strap to the tie down receiver pocket unit
using the supplied 1/2” x1-1/2” Hex Bolt with one 1/2” flat washer one 1/2”
lock washer, and one 1/2” Hex nut (See Photo 8).
NOTE: THE LONG TAPERED END OF THE CLAMP STRAP POINTS
DOWN AND GOES TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK!
* ‘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 flanged lock nuts on the back
of the frame to 60 ft. lbs.(81Nm) NOTE: THE CLAMP STRAP BOLTS
WILL BE SLIGHTLY ANGLED AND THE FLANGE NUTS WILL NOT
SIT FLAT, THIS IS NORMAL Tighten the flanged lock nut that attaches the
bent support strap to the tie down receiver to 60 ft. lbs.(81Nm) Tighten the
metric bolt attaching to the bed support tower to 60 ft. lbs. (81Nm)
5. After all bolts have been tightened, check to be certain that the tie down
receiver is touching the bottom of the frame.
6. Find one insert and place into the tie down 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 tie
down chain/turnbuckle.
You should have at least 1” clearance between the insert and the lip of the
box or after market accessory.

The e-brake cable has been relocated to above the tie down receiver on the ‘07 new body style truck (Photo

above (Photo G) where the e-brake can be seen contacting the factory installed cable guides.
