Bedside Rack for 2015+ F-150 - Install Guide

**NOTE** An updated version of this installation guide is available here: • F-150/Raptor Bedside M...
Use the BuiltRight Industries Bedside Racks (link below) to add useable storage and organization to the bed of your truck. Keep tools and accessories from rolling around in your bed and using up valuable square footage.
This installation is a piece of cake and will require only a T30 Torx socket, extension and ratchet.

Awesome product! The only small bit of advice I would give is to make the rack a bit thinner in front of the lights so more light makes it through. It would be cool to see what it looks like as is, but I feel like it would block too much light and cast shadows I don't want in its current form. That said, I'm off to buy a set now and will engineer a lighting solution myself if needed because I love doing that stuff anyway ; )

This is a great video!! I get my bedside rack tomorrow and I ordered the Rotopax and two of the large black Molle bags.

[@Crumb_Trails]

Very nice product

[@traiefranklin2132]

I have a 2022 f250 with a retrax tonneau. Will the front panel still work?

[@turk10315]

I need to buy a new rubber grommet for the bottom of the rear panel. Can't find one on the site.

[@BuiltRightInd]

Just give us a call or shoot us an email!

Y'ALL MAKE THIS SYSTEM FOR AN '11 GM 1500?

[@robertmontoya9243]

With these installed can you still use the swing out case

[@tactigrunt4523]

Can I still install the bedside rack if I am missing the boxlink tie down brackets from my 2019 Ford F150? I am not sure if that is a necessary piece or not. Please advise. Thanks!

[@BuiltRightInd]

You don't need the plates, but you do need the bolts. If your truck didn't come with the plates originally, you'll want to either get the bolts from a dealer or buy a kit on amazon with plates and bolts. They aren't too expensive. Those bolts as what we use to attach the panels!

[@Kaiceratops27]

@@BuiltRightInd to follow up on TactiGrunt's comment... I don't have boxlink on my truck. just the most basic f150. Do the boxlink plates add any rigidity to the molle panels, or would I just need to get the bolts to mount? Thanks

[@BuiltRightInd]

@@Kaiceratops27 Just need the bolts and we'll have kits with the correct bolts (they're a special thread-forming screw) on our website next week. Email [e-mail] if you want to be notified immediately.

[@smithkev75]

any tips or tricks on removing tie down bolts that have been covered in factory spray bedliner?

[@grgoss1]

pry off the bedliner. Use a TP 50 Torx Plus not standard T50 bit. Take your time, they are tight. The OEM bolts are single use. I reused mine, but will upgrade when I am doing some other work. Spray paint or undercoating between the steel and aluminum if you are adding D rings to reduce the galvanic corrosion. Maybe overkill, but I did it. I sprayed the top of the bolts with undercoat again. Pretty wet and damp for long stretches up here.

[@rootiest]

please do it for RAM trucks

[@johncarvalho5981]

Will there be a bed divider system coming for this product. I have the RetraxPRO system and I keep having cooler and tools running and crashing into my roll up box at the back of the bed . Any updates would be appreciated Thanks

[@rickelliott7653]

Hey John, quick question. I also have a RetraxPRO for my 2020 Ranger arriving any day now and was wondering if you installed these side panels on your vehicle in conjunction with your Retrax? If so. Any fit issues? Thanks

[@johncarvalho5981]

@@rickelliott7653 Hello 👋 No when I put my Retrax in I had no fit mint problems at all there’s a 3/4 inch play back and forward but the weather stripping covers it all up help the tail gate close better. The one thing I would advise it to get a good weather stripping to go under the side rail if truck is parked on a slit angle rain gets under it and into the bed. Hope this helped come back if I can answer any questions ✌️

[@Myshipleydonuts]

I didn't get "this screw" (1:55), only a short black plastic ? with a flat head. No screw long enough to accomplish this in any of the items received.

[@beenenm]

They updated the kit to include the clip you got which makes install easier and easier to move if you need to. Just push that black clip through the panel into the rubber thing.

[@Myshipleydonuts]

@@beenenm Thanks! I get it now

[@michaelvento3005]

Can you mount fishing rod holders on these?

[@jasonspears4919]

I know these products are made for F150 but can they fit Ram 1500s?

[@Jakexgt1979]

Can you install this rack system if you have the plastic bed liner? Will it install over it?

[@BuiltRightInd]

In every case that we've seen so far, yes! It will install over just fine.

[@christopherharpster9330]

Will this work if you have a liner on the bedside?

[@BuiltRightInd]

Most drop-in liners don't follow the contour of the bed closely enough for this product to be compatible, unfortunately. Spray in liners are no problem.

[@gerardhoward5321]

How about GM ?

[@tigerbossa]

Could you explain why i would not be successful mounting on a 2011 f150 fx4 supercab? i can assume the bed will have different indentations although could we not still fasten to the inside of any truck bed? If not why?

[@BuiltRightInd]

tiger bossa We make a different kit specifically for the 09-14 F-150!

[@tigerbossa]

@@BuiltRightInd Thank you for reply, i mostly wanted to mount ford extendible ramps to keep them out of way and under a cover.

[@chrisholmes140]

Can these be ordered with the bed light area cut out?

[@BuiltRightInd]

They cannot. BUT, they don't actually obstruct the light very much at all. What obstructs the light is what you may or may not mount to the panels. I'll see if I can take some photos one of these nights to demonstrate. Thanks for your interest!

[@harveymeshel5851]

Do you make a bedside pack for 16 350? Great product

[@BuiltRightInd]

We don't yet, but will be working on the design in the next month or two, so keep an eye out!

[@Phantasmos]

And their use/purpose is for?

[@BuiltRightInd]

Customers are mounting shovels, axes, tie down straps, fire extinguishers, flashlights, fuel cans, air compressors, air tanks, coolers, tool kits, hi lift jacks, pro eagle jacks and more to these panels using all kinds of clamps and fastening mechanisms. Here's our installation of a rotopax fuel can and mount: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKfZpJyKr7mjiMU

[@321southtube]

Blocks out half the light, can no longer use swing out toolbox....can't clean the area behind it anymore and it's more gimmicky and tacticool than useful. No Bueno

[@BuiltRightInd]

Do you have them or are you speculating? We have customers doing everything you mentioned without issue - even using swingcases. If it wouldn't work well for your application, no problem, but we setup recreational users, sportsman, contractors and police/fire every week and they find them very useful. You don't have to like it though - no worries!

[@321southtube]

@@BuiltRightInd I had them....they blocked out the light, made my swing out tool boxes unusable. So....its no bueno. It is what it is. I was going to keep the front two on but theyre too small to actually mount anything. Tossed em into the recycling bin...live and learn. You have to just accept some people aernt going to like them. Relax brah
