Will TQPONLY tie-down cleats fit existing bed holes?

[extremeDriver911]

Hey guys! I am planning to add some tie-down cleats to my Ram truck bed, specifically, the TQPONLY bed tie-down hooks cleats. I know they will work with the existing holes, but I need to get nutserts for the installation. Has anyone here used these cleats? If so will they fit right into the existing holes? What size nutsert works best? I am thinking a 3/8"-16 might do it, but I would love to confirm. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hey, have you checked the manufacturer's specifications for the cleats to see if they recommend a specific nutsert size?

3/8"-16 nutserts are often a good fit, but it can vary slightly depending on the specific brand and model of cleats. They have to be long enough to secure firmly in the existing holes without any wobble. But test fit one before committing to a full set just to be sure it sits tight. Also, check if the cleats need a backing washer for extra grip (because some setups do). Hope this helps, and good luck with the install!

Hey 1@500DriveR! I used 3/8"-16 nutserts for my TQPONLY cleats, and they fit fine in the existing holes. Definitely test-fit one first to make sure it holds tight, though. Thanks, @Carl Stone and @RoadExplorer1 for your insights!
