Bed Extender Hardware

Please post a photo of your bed extender mounting hardware for a 2004-earlier model. I picked up the Amp Research kit, but they are not deep enough to reach the bed walls when mounted to extender. This photo shows it in position with a half-inch gap between the bed wall and plate mount. Extender pipes are less than 1/8” from the metal lip which is best fit so it does not scrape edges when opening/closing.

 

All are welcome to post

 

i bought the oem brackets, fit perfectly

 

Could you post a photo of the hardware similar to my angle when you get a chance? I would like to see the difference.

 

Anyone else?

 

I bought the oem brackets as well! Is the extender oem? Will try to take some pics this week

 

trucks not with me at the moment.

 

@tony2018 - no problem.

@VAXT - thanks - post when you are able. Yes, it is OEM.

 

i should be able to get pics in 1.5 months.

 

hopefully someone shares one before then

 

right.

 

Not sure this is the perspective that your looking for? I also have a poly bedliner that is obstructing the actual distance between bracket and bed...

 

Could you snap one of a front/side view?

 

Crazy. That’s OEM? Just a C bracket with a gap between the wall?

 

Yep, very simple but sturdy! Mounts in the existing 2 tow loop holes

 

Ah. It just wraps around the extruded corner and mounts using the tie downs? Interesting

How many bones did those set you back?

 

Yes, that's correct! Can't remember $$$ Around 30?

 

Thanks so much for all this info. It certainly helps. Looks like I will need to opt for that factory hardware over this AMP Research set.
