what in the back woods do you have going on with the rear jacks?
Ya, yikes!
If them 45deg angle front chains ain’t doing the trick or bending the tie down brackets on the truck, find less “extreme” trails or quit using crisco on the bed mat.
PS they will do nothing for side to side sliding but a couple well placed boards between the inner fender wells and camper will stop any excessive lateral movement.
I have side blocking in the rear of my lift platform for cab clearance. The front tiedowns are positioned at 15 to 20 degrees, not 45. The TC is somewhat reinforced in the tiedown area. I could create a mount plate farther back to get about 45⁰ on the chains. I'm going to set the rear chains to start engaging when the TC has slid back about an inch so they will have less force exerted on the jacks. I'll use them as a limiter. I may install front side to side blocking when we get back from this trip.
Side note, it's not crisco, Lucas Oil Gear Lube. Keeping up with technology. Also acts as wood preservative.
