But doesn't the outboard tie down on the opposite side Tork Lift limit movement when off-camber i.e.one loosen, but the other one tighten? How big an issue is this?

How big an issue is this?  First off, they are spring loaded, not rigid and secondly, the angle of pull (securement) is outward of the camper tie down point. The Happyjac front mount in inboard of the tie down point. Only the rear mount is rigid, not the front. |

Trying to get a handle on how much of a problem this movement is. I have been doing a lot of reading and I don't see many comments. Is this an issue only for serious off-roaders or does it happen routinely while underway. I am trying to decide which tie downs to use and I hate drilling the bed of my truck unless it is absolutely necessary. This forum doesn't get much traffic so it is hard to tell.  |

Serious off roading only. Would be extreme off camber situations. You are right, not much traffic on this site. However, I've seen you post on other sites before. It's the vertical V and the inverted V that applies. The vertical V is the HappyJac (front securement) and the inverted V is the Torque Lift front securement. The rerar securement is better with the Torque Lift brackets because the tie down's from the camper aren't depending on the step bumper for structural hold. |
