If the bolts are removed or loosened, isn't there a chance the bed will shift?

My bolts were removed. Bed ended up popping/creaking. Ford dealer replaced all nine(I think) bed bolts under warranty.

I have no personal experience with either so Im still unsure if its worth spending the extra $165+. Appreciate some opinions on that.

This is the most expensive purchase Ive made (the truck), besides my house, and Im super nervous to even hand the truck over. Wondering if I should remove the tailgate myself or just trust that they do this all the time on trucks just like this. I haven't asked the applicator yet what they do or don't remove. I assume its standard to remove tie downs and box link plates but what about the LED lights and button? I also see photos showing the bed bolts sprayed over and others that have not. Curious how many of you that have your bed LineX'ed had the bolts sprayed over.[/QUOTE


Been exactly where you are at. Read up on the bed bolts and you’ll find Ford says they are a one time use bolt. You will need new ones if you have them removed.
I got the standard lineX and they did a very nice job. Better than I expected. Life time guarantee, can’t go

wrong.
Had mine done just like this. If you do your research there's plenty of folks on both side of the fence whether or not to have the bolts removed. I decided not to take the chance and had LineX leave the bolts in. I'm glad I did at this point.

As mentioned from me above. My old trucks tailgate was sprayed right into the seam of the tailgate. Some linex places wont do that. I had them do it on this one as well. I like a little more spray. Doesnt hurt anything. Tailgates on the left.

This is my second truck with LineX and a bed cover. I got the standard LineX on both and it’s been fine. IMO, it wouldn’t be worth the extra cost for the premium.
