[QUOTE="GizmoVance, post: 1147721, member: 8850"] Returned the X2; not a good solution, and got the MX4. Finally got the MX4 dialed in, after a few attempts to correct the rail angle. Removed shims as per Bak rep. Had to go to a Hell and Bak though...literally. ;-). They were great and took care of my install issues. The Raptors bed, like all the 150's, really only needs a 1/16" shim. The 1/8" shim that's preinstalled is way too thick and results in the rails being forced down and onward too much (see attached picture). I hope they make this the standard since,,,,uh,,,the 150 is only the best selling vehicle...so I'm pretty sure they are all the same. I also had to get the complete latch assembly replaced on the last panel since the cables were too tight and the latches wouldn't engage. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Note how much angle the pre-installed 1/8" shims create...not good. [ATTACH=full]269539[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
