Installing PullRite SuperRails in F350 -- anyone done it?

I did it on my '99 F250. Had to drill one hole and slot another. Only issue I ran into was the cross rails for the bed had been squashed a little from hauling dirt in the bed. Had to pull the bed bolt and shim for clearance. I had installed airbags at the same time. I had a rubber bed mat that came in the truck when I bought it. It fit under the rails with no issues at all.

The rail kits at times end up missing a hole. I prefer to use the industry standard rail kids over the product specific. Those usually mean lots of drilling. But a can of PB and proper drilling speed a few holes are not too horrible.

I installed the SuperRails and bed rails this weekend. Pretty straightforward, although I hit a few small snags. In hindsight I probably spent too much time measuring / re-measuring the hole locations for the bed. In the end the 1 3/4" hole they have you cut is more than big enough to make up for being off by 1/8" or so when you mark the holes.

I also seemed to have found a discrepancy between the directions and reality. The front holes on each of the SuperRails didn't have a corresponding existing hole in the frame so I had to drill brand new holes. That was fun! lol

Here's the missing holes I'm talking about. Drivers side:

Just need the hitch and the Momentum now!

1/8" to 1/4" I would say, the liner goes on thick and can be thicker in one area over another based on my experience. They provide you with a template for the holes, I measured from the front and back to make sure everything was a square as possible. The holes you drill for the pins that come thru the bed are considerably larger than the pins so don't sweat it.

I also hit the holes thru the bed with a can of spray on bed liner to make sure I didnt have rust issues in the future with the bare metal exposed. You can get that at Home Depot or Lowes or Autozone type store.

I did the install myself on my 2013 F-250 so I didn't have the overload springs to deal with. I did have air bags and the DEF tank that both made it difficult to install the rear bolts that go through the frame. I did my install with the tires on, if I did it again I would put the rear end on jack stands to free up some room to work. I also have a spray in bed liner, it did change my dimensions for where the holes are drilled through the bed so the posts are not perfectly centered in the hole I drilled but they still work without any issues. It has been awhile since I did the install, but it isn't a hard job. If you have a second set of hands it would be handy, but I managed to get it in on my own.
