I NEED HELP BAD!
Hey - We have a 98 f-150 ex-cab flare side. It also has a bed liner. There are 4 little hook things in the bottom of all four corners of the bed. Would these hold if you tied a dirtbike down from them? I'm not talkin extreme pressure ; just to get me a few miles up the road. Any help will be apreciated! THANX!

I know the hooks you are talking about down there.They seem pretty stout for a dirt bike but you should consult the owners manual first.There should be a referance to the load that the hooks will handle.

I used those hooks to haul my suzuki DR 650 over a thousand miles and they held strong. I put extreme pressure on them from all 4 directions becsause I compressed the suspension on the bike as far as 2 people could. I have done it more than once and have had no problems. But I will agree that they do look flimsy.

i have the same truck and yes it will hold a dirt bike i had an Argo in the bed straped down thru those hooks, but i dont know how you will balance the bike. The Argo is a 8 wheel all terain vehicle so balance was not a problem.
