Of course they are back in stock, a week after mine were delivered from Australia! Ha!
Two more months?! Dang! Apparently, this is rocket science.
Yeah, I call bullshit. If a camper shell with its weight distributed equally along both rails can do it, then it's already compromised, IMO. God forbid you decide to be nice and have all your friends load up in the bed to drive across a field or down the beach to a bonfire (they'll sit on the rails), use the rails as a seat at a tailgate party, or use it to prop yourself up to grab something at the front of the bed... all scenarios that I've experienced dozens of times in my life. It's a truck that can't do truck things without additional hardware. That's a design flaw, and a serious mark against Ford.
Ford themselves say (on the official TSB for this) that it's only necessary to install if you plan on offroading with a camper shell. They even say specifically "extreme offroad conditions".
