The Happijac FT-DR2 is a direct-to-frame tie down system engineered specifically for Dodge Ram trucks. By anchoring to the truck frame itself and forming an I-beam truss structure with the bed, it controls camper movement in all six axes -- forward, backward, up, down, yaw, pitch, and roll -- far beyond what standard strap-and-hook tie downs can offer.
Most truck camper tie downs simply pull against the bed rails or stake pockets. The Happijac FT-DR2 takes a fundamentally different approach: the direct-to-frame mounting system attaches to the truck frame components from above, combining frame strength with sound engineering principles to create an I-beam truss structure using both the frame and the truck bed.
The result is a system that not only holds the camper down but actively counterbalances the pulling weight of the camper and resists movement in every direction. Turnbuckle anchor points provide adjustable tension and structural leverage that safely reduces the forces on your truck while keeping the camper locked in place at highway speeds, on rough roads, and during hard braking or cornering.
Combines the truck frame and bed into a unified structural truss for maximum rigidity and load distribution.
Resists forward, backward, up, down, pitch, yaw, and roll -- not just vertical pull-off forces like basic tie downs.
Adjustable turnbuckles let you dial in precise tension and create structural leverage that reduces stress on the truck.
Frame mounts are black powder-coated steel for corrosion resistance and long service life in outdoor conditions.
Unlike tie downs that rely solely on the bed rails or standard mounting points, the FT-DR2 attaches directly to the truck frame components from above. This approach puts the anchor loads where they belong -- on the strongest structural element of the truck -- rather than on the comparatively lighter bed sheet metal or stake pockets.
Placement of the tie-down anchor points together with the use of turnbuckles is central to the system's engineering. Turnbuckles allow you to set precise and equal tension on all four corners of the camper, and the geometry of the anchor points creates mechanical leverage that multiplies the holding force while distributing it evenly across the frame. This design significantly reduces the localized stress that can fatigue or deform other tie down methods over time.
The FT-DR2 kit is engineered for specific Dodge Ram bed and frame configurations. Fitment is as follows:
If your Ram falls outside these years or has a different bed front panel configuration, this kit is not the correct fitment. Confirm your bed panel style before ordering.
