Hi there - after the recent threads about campers pulling through truck beds, I evaluated the install of my 2017 Hawk on my 2019 Silverado 2500HD. What I found wasn't encouraging. The front eye bolts are installed with a solid backing plate, but the rear are installed just with a washer. It seems the contour of the wheel well prevents a backing plate install.
I'd like more surface area support in the back, but I'm unsure of what to do here. The camper was installed at Boise Spring Works, which is associated with FWC Jackson Hole. So, the guys that installed it are certainly experienced with FWCs. Any suggestions here to modify the install for more support?
