Happijac rear bumper mounts

In my search for a camper for my 2015 GMC 3500 CCSB SRW, I am not able to use the Torklift mounts. That leaves me with Happijac. My truck has the factory hitch which negates the use of the Torklift system.

Now some here will say that if you use the Happijac system it is only a matter of time till your bumper is tweaked, and that it is a safety issue. Others here will tell you that if you set them up right they will do just fine, that most of the work is done up front and the back is just for stability.

At the risk of over-thinking this what do you all think?

    I've been using the HappiJac frame mount tie down anchor points for eight years on my '12 GMC Sierra, the rear bumper is as good as new. There is a hidden bracket from the bumper to the frame that holds it in place contrary to popular belief that there is only a couple buttons in the bumper corners. If you look close I have Torklift Fastguns, I am equal opportunity camper customer!

  • When I called to order the Torklift, I was informed that they do not have a system for my particular truck. Their mounts would be preferable as they go to the frame and not the bed/bumper.
