For those of you with factory cleats on the bed

Hey all,

This is a question for those of you that have the factory tie down cleats on the outside of the bed. How far down are they from the bedrail bend, and are they right below the stake pockets?

I don't have any direct measurements but they run in line with the door handle. I'll get an exact measurement tomorrow after work if I'm not beat to it.

Cool thanks. Are they pretty much right under the stake pockets too then?

I think the easiest way to measure is up from the top edge of the "dent" line. It measures 3" to the center of the bolts. No, they are not in line with the stake holes. Do you have a shortbed or longbed? I have a longbed and the first tiedown down (1st bolt-center) from the front of the bed edge is 5 3/4". From 1st tie down to second (first bolt to first bolt-center) is 42", same with the 2nd to the 3rd 42".
