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 between 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).

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 receiver 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.
