Torklift international the best!

Torklift fast guns installed on my 2022 F250. I had turn buckles before and getting gas was a pain. What a nice product the fast guns are, and super easy to install.



I even have their upper stable loads and the frame brackets. It's all coming together nicely. Now I just need to roll my coins and get their front hitch and I'll be set!

Looking good, but I'd save my rolled coins for locks first. Easily removable = easily stealable.

I have the front hitch and tray for my generator. It’s a solid set up, I highly recommend it!

Torklift just came out with locks for the truck mounted brackets as well. I don't usually keep mine in, so not sure I will be rushing out anytime to get some.

Torklift must have had requests for bracket locks, but I'm like you and remove my brackets when the camper isn't mounted. I could see a case when you're out camping and want to leave the camper in place and just drive the truck around. The minute that it takes to remove the brackets wouldn't warrant the expenditure for me.

OP just a suggestion, maybe connect the rear tie down to the farthest rear hole on the bracket to gain a little angle on the support to help any forward shifting.
Straight down keeps it down for sure but doesn’t do anything in keeping camper from moving horizontally.
Just a suggestion.

I have to do this because I'm using the rear hole to attach the stability links to my hitch mounted mud flaps.

the old turn buckles were in the forward holes all along

with the camper all the way forward against the bumps at the front of the bed and the forward fast guns on the angle they are it isn't moving anywhere. The rear just keep the rear down

Been using them on my x 2 campers for nearly 20 years, never had one stolen. 95% of the time I am in a RV camp I am the ONLY TC. Anyone who stole them would not have the brackets to hook to....that said, get over in AZ in BLM camping along with 17,825 thousands of other campers (Quartzsite) and I would have not locks on them but have them locked inside my camper

First trip out this year, I installed the front hitch before I left. I got the hitch from torklift. Easy install but you do need 2 people to handle the front bumper. Here is a pic of the set up now. I ordered snow plow guides as it's easy to forget the basket carrier is on the front.


I really like the front basket. I had the generator mounted on it with the exhaust pointed away from the grill of the truck. It was nice not having to unload, I ran it three nights with no problems.

I have the upper stable loads, and this tow was heavy. I had the load levelers hooked up and I still had a little sag. I didn't realize there are lowers stable loads. Do you have to drill the leaf spring?

They come with snugness instructions.

Have to look in the little hole on the side to see where the edge is, or something like that.

Tighten them up so when they are secured the black washer comes down 1/8-1/4 inch. But plenty of proper instructions if one googles. Youtube as well.
