I've got my PRO, now I'm upgrading. Need Cleat Mounting bracket

[kenfaber62]

Hello, my Pro does not come with the Boxlink system, furthermore the mounting bracket holes have not been tapped.
Q: Does anyone know where I can get the mounting bracket plates?
Q: Does anyone know what size tap I should use to put threads in the holes?

Picture included.

Oops, I've answered the first question. I'm going to order the brackets of Amazon and deal with tap size issue when I get the screws that come with the brackets.

Since you’re going with fake exhaust and an external speaker, you need this:

interesting, another PRO owner just found his boxcleat mounts under the rear seats. No cleats, but yes, the mounting brackets. I've seen them on every PRO I've looked at.

but, until mine arrives later this week, I won't be able to confirm personally that this is the case - the PRO I saw in San Antonio had them...

These folks who have their PRO come with cleat brackets.... are the mounting holes tapped? Someone do me a favor and check and get back to me.

The mounting holes are never tapped. The screws are self tapping.

Correct answer. It's been that way for years.

This is much cleaner : https://accessories.ford.com/products/f-150-2021-tailgate-viscous-dampening-cartridge-1


The third party dampers require you to remove one of the tie downs on the tailgate.

Where does that install that it doesn't require a tie down removal?

It installs within the space behind the taillight...

Easier to watch a video..



I'm getting some delivery imperfections ironed out and my dealer is going to install it at that time with my ford pass reward points.

My Pro came with the cleat brackets installed, but no cleats in the cab.

I purchased the Ford tailgate damper but haven’t installed it yet. Maybe today is the day.
