Bed bolt tie down install

Mind including a link for where you picked up your D-rings? The post from the OP is dead. and the last set I bought ended up being way too small, why dont sellers include detailed dimensions, lol?

Just search the part number P/N 05170492AA

i know this may be dead by now, but incase someone is searching for same solution, i found this online also. not sure if it works, Can be ordered also with replacement bolts for the bed.

Its made for the F150s specifically, may order it later once i confirm shipping and some information and try it.

Bit of a thread necro here, but after a couple hours trying to find a suitable folding D-ring to work with the stock bed bolts without grinding, etc. I finally found these:

And there’s a lot of conflicting info re: the bed bolts out there too. I know they switched to a different head design at some point, but here are the dimensions for the bolts on my 2018 truck (2017 build):

Overall length to bottom of head: 5”
Thread pitch: M12x1.75
Threads run from 1” - 2.75”
Major OD of bolt and washer hole: 9/16” (14.3mm)
Bolt head diameter: 30mm

Mine use the Torx Plus T50 (T50+) size bit; a standard T50 works, but it’s loose in the hole…that’s what she said, LoL



Also, my washers weren’t tack welded or crimped on; just some kind of green adhesive/hard putty on there to hold the washer in place for assembly.
