    Just use a carabiner or something else that is strong and will hook or clip in.

    Lots of comments and opinions on this thread, and even a structural engineer chimed in (I actually have a little background in that area...).
    So what's the group's verdict? Which model of these is best?

    I was bored one day surfing the selling threads and someone local was selling Rago front bed stiffeners. What the hell, it’s covid and all so I PM’d him because he was local. We met up and I bought them. Damn, they are a bit bigger than I was thinking they’d be.

    Thanks guys. Yeah the ones that make me feel the best. Funny thing is these not much more than beefy shelf brackets, like the ones you can buy at Home Depot. Of course they have the holes in the right places...

    I just got my second set of stiffeners from victory 4x4 and the passenger side still doesn't fit! At this point is obvious to me that my bed is bent inwards and it's not an exact right angle. I'm debating what to do but might try a bottle jack or something to try and get the bed side in it's place long enough to install the stiffener
