Installing the Swing Case bed box

So I ordered My Dualliner bed liner for my Bighorn last week and it just came in today, and too sum that up quick, really nice liner, pretty pricey ($420) but fitment was 95% and instal was easy as pie, Now onto the Swing case, Ordered two of these on Amazon 2 days ago (driver side and passengers side) and they just came in tonight. Drilling into the bed definitely scared me a little but once I took everything out and market it, it was easy as could be. I assembled the arm (10 seconds, just two nuts) lined it up 4" above the bed liner, its about 1/4" thick so it sits a little higher than its supposed too but it makes no difference). I used some tape to hold up the arm, took a sharpie, marked the wholes. Took an impact drill and the supplied screws, and straight into the bed. 6 per side, 4 on the end, 2 on the other side of the support arm. Then all I needed to do was put the swing box on the hinge, install the supplied lock, and Boom, It's done. Less than half an hour from start to finish.

Could not have been easier or more straight forward. I recommend these to anyone who wants extra storage in the bed for tools or gear without some big rack and not have to have a tool box at the end, so I still have my full 6.4 foot bed ( granted I am putting in a diesel tank where a toolbox normally would be, but thats for next week) Also for anyone curious, these are for sale on amazon for $199 a piece, really smart design and the quality is fairly high.

How well do they contour the wheel wells?

Man, this is why I love sites like this. I was about to push the button on buying these. But they look massive and take up quite a bit of space. I love the concept still but might just need to get a box to toss in the back

Just curious, but for $500 why not get a spray in liner instead of drop in?

I had one in my 07 F150 and loved it.

Now I am loving my Ramboxes. ;):p

I'm guessing these would render the factory bed lights useless.

I love my swing case and aftermarket LED strips. Don't have OEM lights but they would be blocked. They also block the rear tiedown, but minor hassle for the benefits. 20200824_062948.jpg
