Looking for something that will thread into the OEM available screw holes just above the included tie down handles

Do a search for Bed Tie Downs on Amazon. There's a bunch of different styles. looks like most of them have 10mm holes.

I used stainless steel eyebolts, the ones in the bed and rail across the front of the bed are 8mm. There are 3 on each side way up almost under the bed rails. Those are 6mm but I would not use them to actually tie down much of a load. I plan on putting the eye bolts in and using them to “stabilize” things like gas cans or pool chlorine jugs.

That’s exactly what I want just eyebolts for light duty. 6 or 8mm which is the correct size right above the OEM tie down?

Sorry, I just saw this, 8mm for the eyebolts above the factory tie downs.

Hi there! My Raptor doesn't have factory tie-down handles. Any idea why? Was that an "upgrade?" The dealer says it is, but I don't think that's true...an XLT Ranger with no spray-in bedliner has them, after all, and I have a spray-in bedliner.

Really surprised that they aren’t on a Raptor, I am guessing the threader inserts are there? Might be better off putting them in afterwards so you don’t have spray in the heads.

They were standard, at least on Raptors. Can’t speak to other models.

Did the dealer do any kind of a bedliner? Might have been removed for that.

I can tell you the bolts were brutal to remove due to lock tight on threads and spray in bedliner material in torx heads.

Good luck!

Thank you for the help. I have a factory Bedliner in my raptor and no tie-down handles. Was this an oversight at the factory? It sounds like it might have been based on you having spray material on the screw heads.

The inserts are there....no handles though. Can I buy a pair of these aftermarket?

How long do the threads need to be on those M8 eyebolts?

Any reason these black ones wouldn't work? https://a.co/d/3QF47n0

As a new truck owner, I'm just learning about these things... Should I get flat washers and split lock washers to go between the flat washer and an eye bolt, or is it ok with just the eye bolts and no washers?
