Front-Torklift camper tie downs-2005 dually, How do you like??

I have 2005, dually--I need to put front tie downs for 9 1/2' camper. I had the camper on 1995 ex-cb 4x4,ferd PS 3/4 ton. I had made some front supports welded to the frame-with 2" trailer stock, and I had chain and adjustable turn buckles going to the supports. It was a VERY rigid support--felt VERY solid! We took the truck and camper into Baja, and many other places!!
MY QUESTION, is this,---are the Torklift really sturdy? Are they worth ($250.00) Does any one have any pictures of there set up?? Or should I try and fab-up some----that bolt to the frame???
thanks in advance, Rocky

PS: camper weighs about 3000#---and we may go to a larger one later--11'--we also tow a 18' car hauler, with our dirt toys on board!! (buggy,ATV)
