Good instruction. Thanks. Unfortunately, after installing the driver's side unit, the swing rod didn't align very well with the latch. I lowered the latch and rotated the pivot bracket as much as the bolts would allow. Finally, I was able to at least get it latched when I swing it but the rod still hits the bottom of the latch, and I have to swing it with a bit of force for it to latch. In the end, I still think it's worth it. Hopefully the passenger side will align better.

I've installed two of these so far on F250's, was running through your video for the 2020 F150 install because I am mounting a pair of them next week for a buddy. Suggestion to installers, even though the kit comes with lock washers, I used blue locktite on the threads for the bolts behind the tail light. if the bolts move at all, then you have to remove the tail lights to re-adjust the alignment again, if beyond what the striker plate range can adjust. On the question about "why isn't it made of aluminum?" - weight. The box can only hold 75lbs, if the box was aluminum, it would weigh more, reducing the capacity. The hinges can only hold so much before the weight causes sag beyond the adjustable range of the striker. On my personal F250, I carry tools and 2 hitches in my driver's side and it takes a little lift to swing the case back into place with the weight being right at max (or just over) weight capacity.

In my opinion...and you know what they say about opinions....the swing case has the lid on the wrong side. I don't want to have to open the tailgate, remove the padlock, and swing the case back just to be able to get into it. So...I reversed my lid. The hinges are just plastic and just pressed into a snap fitting. I took a big flat bladed screwdriver and unsnapped them, turned the lid the other way and then with a block of wood, tapped with a hammer and reseated them on the opposite side. Same with the latch. Now I can open the lid while standing beside the truck without having to open the tailgate. To me this should have been a no brainer when it was built.

Hey Aaron, great question. If you get both the bed will be pretty dark. Is you get just one there should be ample light it the bed from the side that dosent had the case.

You do not need to remove the case to access the bed light switch. The bed light are particularly blocked by the cases but, as I just tried it.... there is still enough light from just the interior bed lights to light up the entire bed.
