I've got a 2011 F-150 with the 5.5 ft box and my dealer told me there are no stake pocket holes. I assume that since there are no holes, the rubber expanders are not used and they just bolt on instead. Do you know if that's correct?
...i just came upon this video with very nice bed rails. i like how it has numerous tie off points which most bed rails dont have. youtube.com/watch?v=gl4QV8lcoyg
...been thinking about buying these for my 2010 Tundra. are you having any problems with them yet? i like the hole on each side of the bar, very practical. my only concern is that it being a 3 piece bar it might not be as strong as a 1 solid piece bar. also over time i think it might become loose from the worn out rubber expansion blocks. thxs for your time.
@SteveSabbai No problems as of yet.Being a custom fit bed rail there's not much "wiggle" room for them to loosen up.The holes are designed specifically for tie-off points,and the large size makes for a good hand hold when climbing into the bed. Check your specific application because there may be a direct bolt on style that bolts to the top of box sides rather than fitting in the stake pockets,replacement parts should also be availlable.
