Im looking for the tie down brackets on my camper, not my truck, i ordered the torklift frame mount and my brackets on the camper where the turnbuckle goes are in bad shape and hang to low where it hits my fenders... can someone give me a link to a better bracket?
Thanks

When you say they are in bad shape, what do you mean? Are they the type that are one bolt that is looped on the end and have a nut and washer on the inside of the camper? If they are hitting the top of your bed, I would say maybe put a sheet of plywood under the camper. I'm really not sure what you mean about being bad. If they are the type that are a plate and your jacks fit on them, all I could say is maybe take each one off and put some kind of backing on them on the inside. Maybe a peice of steel plate. OK I looked a little closer and now I see what you mean. The brackets are hitting the fenders on your dually. Wow, don't really know what to do about that. You could extend them with steel plate but that would make them weaker when off loaded. There are companies out there that make swing out brackets for a dually but not sure that would help. I think Atwood makes them if that helps.

I seen that you had a ''hand crank'' on one of the jacks in the first picture.

You can use a 1/2'' drill, and a ''deep well socket'' to raise and lower your camper!!!

I can take a picture and show you if your interested in it.... Just let me know!

Those look like Rieco Jacks. In that case you would want Rieco's Dually Bracket Extensions. Atwood's Dually brackets are specifically for Atwood jacks and will not fit other brands necessarily. The drill adapter can be found at the link provided if your jacks are in fact made by Rieco.
