NRALIFR-Curious, though doesn't look like with new upper tie off point would give enough angle (and you've solved your problem) why is the lower mount not to the hole in end of insert plate?
It’s easier to hook the tiedown there.
My jacks have to swing out a little farther than normal because the F450 is a few inches wider than the F350 dually of the same model year. Not sure if that’s still true with the current F450 pickups, but it was true in 2016. The truck wouldn’t fit between the front jacks that had been plenty wide for the F350 dually I used to have. So, my swing-out extensions have extensions now! That puts the forward hole so close to the jack when it’s swung in that it makes it harder to get the hook in the hole. And like you said, that little bit of angle isn’t enough to do any good. I tried using that hole on both front tiedowns for a while, and the camper could still slide backwards.
