    I recently removed the front bed bolts on my ACLB to put on the Dodge D rings. It took a lot of back and forth with spraying underneath. I was shocked at the length of threads sticking out the bottom. I'm pretty sure I remember it being easily accessable from the bottom.

    wouldn't the heat melt the composite bed? I could heat them a bit to get them warm but I'm afraid red hot would damage the bed?

    Anybody know where to buy the bolts for cheaper than the stealership? Did a quick search on Google and couldn't really find them at any parts stores

    After having to cut two bolts out and ripping off two of the tack welded nuts, everything is back together and secure. It's ugly but it works. Thanks for all the help guys!
