F-150 Tie Downs
Hi all,
I apologize if this subject has already been covered, but I searched extensively and could not find an answer to this particular question.
I am the new owner of a 2003 F-150 that will soon be the home to a truck camper. It is the 7700 series, so payload is not an issue for my purposes. I'm ready to outfit it with tie downs so I can hopefully pick up my camper next week.
I understand that frame mounted tie downs are preferred to bed-mounts because of the lightness/weakness of modern truck beds. I wanted to go the HappiJac route for financial reasons and because I will have a relatively light camper. However, the HappiJac website recommends these:

They do not appear to have a frame-mounted option that will fit my truck. The truck+camper will indeed be below 8500. Opinions on this? Thank you so much! This forum has been infinitely helpful in my learning process up until now!
