Get the zone 6",way more solid and its a true 6",no t bar adjusting needed.
Your issue was a combination of several issues. Stacked blocks, and cheap u-bolts.

My blocks WERE NOT stacked and the u bolts did not fail. I had to cut the u bolts off,one of the blocks broke. Trust me I pieced every piece of it back together,I know my truck.

I sent them all the info,I don't remember what I got back exactly but it was something along the lines of "you're sol,go screw yourself".

Insurance covered most of it,but my truck still has a different color bed and it took me a long *** time to fix it due to only being able to work on it a couple hours a week.

And luckily I was just leaving the store and only got up to about 20 mph. I normally run over 50 around there,it could have ended way differently if I got to speed. Not to mention some dumbass didn't see me with all my blue interior lights and emergency lights on,almost hit the truck doing 50 plus and swerved across two lanes of traffic to miss me.
