Anyone with a Spyder Industries Headache Rack?
These look great:

My order from them has had some problems and I want to give them an opportunity to fix it. But I've discovered the F-150 rack is not mounted in the stake holes as advertised. I've been told the F-150 stake holes are too far forward and therefore the rack is mounted on each side with two bolts thru the bed rail mounting plates. This rack is very heavy and I'm concerned this won't be a strong enough mounting.

The rack itself is seriously overbuilt and I also have the half height rear hoop. But it wasn't packed well resulting in damage to the finish, and it was shipped with the wrong mounting plates.
I posted to several F-150 forums looking to see if anyone mounted one of these to their trucks yet.
The owner of the company was going to overnight the replacement mounting plates on Monday, but then yesterday I discovered the rear hoop wouldn't fit in the bed stake holes as it is 1/8" too wide.
Needles to say I am very frustrated.

I'm frustrated as I don't think we are going to find a solution to the rear hoop problem. The legs of the hoop drop into the stake holes fine, but the truck stke hole sheetmetal slants inward and the access hole is then offset.
There is no room for a bolt. I tried an allen head but it hits the bed wall too. I'm very frustrated with this.
