The Derringers will be one of the best investments for your camper, I will never go back to turn-buckles !!!
Did you mount them the traditional 4 Wheel way or on the outside of the truck body. I bought some and was unable to get them to work
the traditional method. Any tips?
 
traditional, bought treaded j-hooks from fastenol, installed into derringer, then added one quick link to camper, adjusted to fit

traditional way.
 
I've got a pair of these. Installed them anticipating using them on a used FWC, but the camper didn't fit my 2011 Tacoma. ended up buying an ATC, which negated the need for the TorkLift. But, I'm a lazy one, and never took them off. So they've been on the truck, but never used.
PM me if you think you might could use them.
 
I bought a bunch of these 1/2" eye bolts and iteratively tested them for fit, cutting them down as needed to get the length right. "right" meaning all the threads go through the nut, but only stick up about a max of 1/4" or the mechanism will bind. Once it was right, I added locktite to the threads.

Thanks for the input. I'll give them another try.



Getting them right sometimes also meant using carabiners to make them even longer.
