If you look at the HJ site you will see HJ have much better angles for the tie downs, but if you have money to waste get TL. You will need fast guns because in lot's of cases TL block fuel door, poor design.
HJ claims to be frame mount but if you rely on a flimsy L bracket to hold a 4k+ camper over a true frame mount, then so be it. I would much rather loosen 1 FastGun to fuel my truck, which I don't have to, than rely on convenient, not optimal mounts.
I've never had HJ tie downs, so I have no idea. How thick is that flimsy bracket?
I ask this because I'm pretty sure the Torklift tubes aren't any thicker than .095 or .120. In the realm of things, that's a pretty flimsy tube.
To answer the original question, I like my Torklift because they bolt on. I did have to drop my fuel tank a little for one bolt on my Ford though.
If I had a lightweight popup camper on a dedicated offroad pickup, I'd have the Happijac for sure for clearance.
