Finally put these on our 05 fx4 f150. Fitting them in the back of the bed was time consuming, but most things like this are for us. Been in use for 6 months now and still holding up nicely. These seemed to be the best thing out there for our use needs. Slide in pop up camper is being held in where it needs to be. Had to find/ make short enough tie downs, the double ended hook ones. The brackets on front of bed are a little farther back than we think they should be. But again they are holding, working and still in good shape. No rust yet.

The bolts are hard to get in between the truck bed and the brackets but otherwise they work fine

Was a little difficult on first time installation. But worked great, held truck camper in place. No bad issues to talk about.

I have 2008 f150 short bed and they work great for my 1400lb popup camper. I didn't use their tie downs. I used porch swing springs built a bracket and used eye bolt to give the system some give. This works for me because I built a track for the camper to prevent it from sliding in the bed. But they are a bi$$h to install. I put my camper over the bed and lift it up high because the mounts won't clear the jacks. Some people mention the bolts spin but they installed them the wrong way. I would not recommend these for newer trucks their beds are super flimsy compared to my 2008.

Worked to tie down my light weight pickup slide in camper (1450 lbs). However if you don't have 2 of depth on the lip of you pickup bed like my F150 you'll have to get creative to use them. I had to install the bolts backwards, The square head of the bolt which was supposed to be on the outside of the brace had to come through from behind the brace and it took some extra work to tighten them but I got it done and they work OK.

Work just as described without having to drill

For all those people who complain that the bolt holes are too close to the center, or that it was poorly engineered; READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND LOOK AT THE PHOTOS. The square bolt heads are there for a reason. If you put them in correctly you will find that they sit up against the center part of the assembly which means you don't need a second wrench while tightening the nuts. It works perfect!The real trick is where to position the mounts on the truck, and that will be unique to each camper/truck configuration. It might be easier if you have an 8-foot bed, but on today's 6-1/2 foot beds it's a bit tricky to find that perfect spot to place the bracket and get it to mate up with the camper's attachment point.After you have identified the mounting point and it's time to tighten the bracket, hold the clamping plate in position, insert the bolts, start the nut and then push the clamping plate as high as it will go. Tighten the nuts from the back side (between the bracket and the bed of the truck). A ratcheting wrench works best, but a socket wrench will work just fine. You will need to alternate between the two nuts until they are equally tight. Adjust the depth of the spacer foot, tighten its locking nut and you're done!
