Just bought a sweet 2001 F150 Crew Cab. I was extremely disappointed when I peeked under the plastic stock siderails to not only notice that there are no stake holders but the surface is completely contoured to accept the stock siderails, i.e. the surface is not flat. I don't particularly care for the stock siderails and would like to replace them. At the same time I'd like to make up for the lack of stake holders. I use the stake holders primarily as receptacles for tiedowns.

My question is: Does anybody sell upgrade siderails that will fit my vehicle? Preferably something with integrated tiedowns. All the siderails I have seen on the web seem to be designed to fit onto a flat surface. They usually list all the vehicles they are compatible with, and usually my vehicle is on that list, but I'm having a hard time believing that they will be compatible considering what I saw underneath.

I would also like to add a rollup tonneau cover and a spray-on liner. So whatever siderails I get need to be compatible. Usually these tonneau covers require installation of their own rail system. I'm worried I might have a conflict between those rails and the siderails.

My ideal solution would be a set of siderails that replaced the stock plastic siderails, had integrated tiedowns, and an integrated rollup tonneau cover. Does such an animal exist?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

 

I cant say for sure on the stake pockets, but my truxedo roll up tonneau will allow for siderails on my truck.

 

Hi Steve and welcome to the forum

I'm not sure if you'll find what you want but check out www.putco.com and see if they have anything for you. They do have bed rails listed for a SuperCrew but they dont have a picture. Maybe you could email them and ask more questions too.
