Ford pivot box and boxlink
Is the boxlink cleat compatible with the Ford pivot box? I know it will be behind it, I am just wondering if you can keep the boxlink mount when you install the pivot box bracket. I have one ordered and I just thought about this.

Just an update, it is compatible with the box link tie down system. I installed the pivot box today, it's pretty handy.

I started with the drivers side. Once I get everything in there I'll see if I need the other one. Ordered it from Fairway Ford. Very simple install.

I've had those on both my prior f250s and will have one on my 350 when it gets in. I've always ordered Swing Cases through Amazon, which it looks like Ford takes and rebrands.

Yes I'm sure they are the same case. For the same price though I'd rather have the Ford logo on there.

Are there predrilled holes in the bed to use?

How much clearance is under the box? I went with the Tractor Supply 3/4” stall mat for the bed. Doesn’t look like enough room under the box for that thick of a mat. Hard to tell from the angles though.

I have a bed rug Matt which is close to that thickness and have no issues. I've also had Ford's rubber bed mat without issue.

Checking into one of these on eBay. I wonder if a plastic drop in bed liner would cause any problem? Maybe drill it and put some spacers between the bed and the liner or notch the liner out?

The instructions address drop in liners. Mentions some trimming may be necessary

Do you need the boxlink plate for these to work? Will these block the LEDs in the bed?

No you do not need box link, the bracket and screws come with the box. They will block the LED's unless you swing them out.
