Default Tie Downs

I about lost my mind last night trying to secure my load.
But that's another thread LOL
Anyways, have y'all installed more tie down in the bed of your truck?
Would like pics of how you did it and where you placed them.

What length is your bed???


It looks like Rnlcomp has a 6-1/2 ft bed. Look closely at his pictures and you can see that his Bull Ring tie downs are seated in an indented area in his bed rail covers.


I have a 5-1/2 ft bed. The short-bed doesn't come with prepared holes in the bed rail covers - I had to cut holes in the covers to install my Bull Rings. Of course there are also some tie-down rings that can be attached inside on the sides of the bed.

I have the 5.5' bed. As you stated I don't have an indented area in my bed rail covers.

I would like to attach some tiedown rings to the inside of the bed of the truck

I just got stake bed tie downs for xmas and will be putting them in tomorrow (not sure what brand. I have the 5.5 bed but can kind of see where they go - so I will drill the bed caps out to find the holes.
I would be cautious with the ones that hook to he inside lip of the bed. This is what I have now and I have bent the bed rail multiple times and have had one pop off when tightening down. I even carry the wrench to tighten them down when i use them - but they appear to be for only light strain on them.

These are the ones Santa brought

Thanks they look like they fit well. I hate having to reach down into the box to get a hold of the stock tie down.

Ya these thing are great. Got them from my job. I got it for cheap from a vender at my job but I dont think that they will cost to much for you to buy. I put them in all four corners
