camper tie downs

just bought a new 9 foot camper and im wondering if the stake pocket style tie downs can be used on these newer trucks

i have a 2002 350 dually short box crew cab
i would use a belly bar on the front but with the fuel tank and leaf spring hangers being so far forward the belly bar type tie down would need a whole lot of modification to get it to work right
back would be no problem off the sides of the reciever hitch

is anyone using the older style stake pocket tie downs

Yeah, but the stake pockets bend. I don't know if you would want to do that to your 02 truck.
