FASTENERS FOR INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Locate and inventory all parts to become familiar with all brackets.
2. Hold the tie down receiver into place to locate the proper pre-existing holes in
the frame at the end of frame rails near the bumper and bottom of frame (see photos
page 3). Remove the bolts in the side of the frame and remove the bolts in the
bottom of the frame. These bolts will be re-used in the installation of the tie down.
3. Hold the tie down receiver into place, reinstall the two bolts in the bottom of the
frame and the two bolts in the side of the frame (see page 3).
4. Find one insert and ¼” pin and put the bent insert into the receiver using either
hole in the insert. Install ¼” pin.
*NOTE: The included tie down inserts come with 2 predrilled pinhole locations.
When hooking up your camper, either hole may be used providing there is a
MINIMUM of 2”(5cm) clearance between the chain/turnbuckle attaching assembly
and the truck bed wall. THERE ARE ALSO 2 PRE-PUNCHED HOLES
LOCATED ON THE TRIANGULAR BULLET PLATE ON THE END OF EACH
TIE DOWN INSERT, EITHER OF THE TWO HOLES CAN BE USED, BUT THE
HOLE THAT PROVIDES THE GREATEST ANGLE IS PREFERRED.
5. You should have at least 1”(2cm) clearance between the insert and the lip of the
truck bed or aftermarket accessory. Tighten all fasteners. ½” bolts to 60 ft.

NOTE: Short bed trucks will use the two factory bolts that currently attach the corner bumper
brackets to the frame (SEE PHOTO BELOW). Loosen the corner bumper support bracket at the
bumper (both the upper and lower fastener), as this will allow the corner bracket to hinge out from the
frame after removing the two nuts, which attach the corner bracket to the frame.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE OF
POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCTS
Torklift utilizes quality grade 304 stainless steel in this product.
304 stainless steel is well known for its anti corrosive 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 finish. Use an approved stainless steel cleaning/polishing
product, which can be purchased from any automotive supplier.

TORKLIFT’S BOLT FISHING GUIDE
Your guide to understanding the installation of our frame mounted tie downs.
Note: The hardware may vary as to
-Coiled End of Bolt Fisher- what is being fished along with the
bolt. In this instance a 1” X 2” plate
washer is being fished along with the
hex bolt. Different applications may
require fishing through various star
washers and flat washers for example.
Desired Hole on Vehicle (Place the coiled
end of the bolt fisher through this hole).
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.
This bottom example shows the bolt when it’s completely fished through the
vehicle. You may find it easier to keep the bolt fisher attached until you get the tie
down receiver in place so that the bolt doesn’t fall into the vehicle frame.
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 tie down inserts is a triangular plate referred to
by Torklift as a bullet plate. Your tie down 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.
DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE REAR
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your tie down inserts are designed to have clearance inside of the
receiver. This is to account for road debris, as well as aid in installation and removal. Some
rattle may be expected if the inserts are left installed while not under load from the camper.

RECOMMENDED TRUCK CAMPER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 different manufacturers, as well as the camper
jack mounting locations. Your Torklift tie down inserts has 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 tie downs 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, installing 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 recommendation 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 guidelines. 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, (consistently sprayed with corrosive road chemicals such
as salt, and road debris), Torklift does not warranty the power coated finish.
To minimize corrosion from these factors on powder coated steel products, Torklift recommends regularly cleaning and
inspecting the powder-coated surface and touching up any affected areas with 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 finish 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 stainless 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 finish. Use an approved stainless steel chrome or aluminum mag wheel polish
cleaning product, which can be purchased from any automotive parts supplier.

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
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 fit tight to the frame so as not to compromise
ground clearance. TorkLift tie downs are not universal ‘one size fits all’ therefore all the
problems with correct fit 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.(6350kg) with
an extension*, (17,000 lbs.(7711kg) to 20,000 lbs.(9071kg) without*) the Original
SuperHitch and SuperHitch Magnum are rated the strongest in the industry.
CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DEALER FOR MORE DETAILS
*Weight capacity varies depending on the SuperHitch and SuperTruss extension setup.
