Bull Ring Question with Hawk

[dasadab]

Thanks. I am awaiting delivery of my new Hawk. Can't wait. My truck is a new Chevy Silverado 2500HD. The truck is going to be used as a utility truck, daily driver, when the Hawk is not mounted. The bed has oval slots for Bull Ring tie downs on the sides and on the front. I was wondering if the Hawk will hit the bull rings, if I install the bull rings. On the sides of the beds, the ovals are reset in side of the side top rail, so it looks like the bull rings will sit fine in that "dead space." On the front top rail the ovals are flush, so it looks like the Hawk would hit the bull rings if it rests all the way forward. Anyone have experience with bull rings that can help?

Are you using the bull rings that retract? If so they will not hit

Google is your friend

If your bull rings are all the way forward you will need some type of extension to reach the turn buckles. I had a 2002 Hawk on my 2005 Tundra. When I got my 2013 Hawk needed two large chain links screw type to reach my turnbuckles.

I moved my anchor points when I got home.

Thanks. I guess I thought the name was common knowledge. My bad. Bull Rings are just tie downs that attach to the truck bed. On my Chevy, there are cut outs in the side of the bed and an accessory with a steel loop is inserted into a cut out and screwed tight. This accessory is called a bull ring. http://www.amazon.com/Keeper-05654-Anchor-Universal-Strength/dp/B0000AVZMU

I did mount the retractable ones. thanks for the heads up that they won't interfere.

You should have plenty of clearance.
