Default Swing cases and bed divider - any solution?

Guys need your help to figure out something.
Short version: I am planning to install swing cases, BUT they interfere with bed divider that I also need. But it looks like I cannot have both - as swing case side lock needs to be mounted exactly in the same position as bed divider:


I absolutely need both swing cases, and I really want some sort of bed divider so stuff does not fly in the 6.5 foot bed.

Any ideas?

I don't have any suggestions for you, but I have that same bed divider and absolutely love it. In my experience, the bed divider is far more useful mounted in the position closest to the tail gate, as opposed to closer to the cab. If I were in your situation, I'd mount the bed divider in the rear position and then look at options for cases to go in front of that divider. That's definitely not the answer to your question. I guess I'm just advocating how good of a tool that bed divider can be. I think you will miss it if you give it up.

I'd probably just fabricate something using lumber and a couple of generic boxlink cleats that have holes in them:

Turns out not all is lost.
I am looking at Loading Zone Truck bed divider LZCG-1501 (does not seem I can get one in Canada ), and there is another one - but it requires drilling - https://www.boxtamer.com/

Did anyone ever try HitchMate Cargo Stabilizer bar with StabiLoad dividers?

Your problem is worse than you realize. With the swing boxes in their closed position you can't get to the power outlets......
