Before you take the plunge with a step bit, keep these three things in mind: Check Your Clearance: I ran into a support arm under the bed on my 4th hole. Always measure twice and check the underside of the bed for electrical lines or structural braces. Prevent Corrosion: Anytime you drill through the factory bedliner and metal, you're inviting rust. I used Black RTV Silicone to seal the Riv Nuts and protect the exposed steel. The 'Point of No Return': This install is permanent. If you're hesitant about drilling, consider mounting to a high-quality Molle panel instead, though I found the bed-mount much more secure for a 30lb jack. 🚙 In this video you’ll see: Why factory jacks fail on lifted trucks.
