Bed bolt torque is 129 ft-lbs per the service manual.

Thanks Lou, I really appreciate that. I had Rhino Linings spray the bed and they took the bolts off, I really wanted them sprayed with the bed. To make things I checked how tight they were and they had half assed tightened them down to 20-30, probably with an impact driver. THX again!

I feel your pain. My bed and hitch rails were pulled last month for bed repair. I will be crawling under the truck to check the hitch as well as bed bolts as the bed sounds loose. And it was at the dealership for the repairs.

Sad that we must verify and redo work.
