Has anyone tried installing the Bull Ring Retractable Tie Downs in their 2004. I had some in my 02 F150, but the holes seem a little bigger in the 04 and the tie downs don't seem to fit quite as snug?

I installed four of them on my 04 Scab and really like them so far. I've used them for strapping down my ATV, haven't noticed any movement of them at all. I was going to purchase them online (http://www.truckstuff.org/truck/ford...s_tie_down.htm) but happened to be at my Ford dealer and saw them hanging on the wall for the same price.

I love the way they fit flush when not in use! On past trucks I had always installed flip-up tiedowns on the side of the truck, but just couldn't bring myself to drill holes in the side of such a good-looking truck as the 04 F150.

 

I was just wondering if those things rattle around or do they stay in their "down" position until they are pulled up? I think they look pretty handy, but dont want to add a rattle to my truck

 

I haven't noticed any rattle, and I drive on some pretty rough roads.
