I just purchased a new truck with the sprayed in bedliner from the dealership. I am having trouble gettin my bed hook tie downs to slide in. Did you have any trouble sliding them in after you did the spray> Is there a trick to getting them to slide in?
Thanks,

Tom

My '19 Lariat has the factory Ford spray in bed liner...and the box link cleats do Not fit either.
There is also no bed liner behind the brackets, just painted aluminum.
From what I've read, alot of the cleats(hooks)are too thick. Mine definately are.
The solution is to cut, file, or grind a small and even about off the back of each cleat.
Or, return/exchange at the dealer.
I've yet to do either.

Do you live near the heights or just prefer Tommie Vaughn? I work just down the street from them (near Shepherd and Pinemont)

Default I did a thing...

Purchased the Bilstein 5100's a while back and finally got some time to get them installed. I went 2.1 up front, but thinking I should have gone 1.75 as it looks a bit too baja truck nose high. Im going to give it about a month before to see how it settles before I replace the factory rear block with something taller.
I still dig it because the truck drives amazing now. it is firm, controlled and no more brake dive! Bilsteins (even the lower model) should be installed stock from the factory IMHO.
Additionallly, I had 275/65 20 BFG T KO2'S installed. I am ok with the look but ordered some Bora 1.5 spacers to kick the wheels out to the edge of the fenders. Truck looks a bit skinny now


Blistein 5100's at 2.1, BFG 275/65 20

I have the oem factory liner on my 18. I got mine in when the truck was new with a lot of force... it went but not easy.
