DRILL VERSION FAQs
Does Installation Require Drilling?
Yes, Most ACS FORGED Drill Mount systems require drilling six mounting holes as part of the installation process. Four of these holes receive threaded rivet nut inserts, while two additional holes secure the upper support brackets. Refer to the installation guide for vehicle-specific details.
How Difficult Is Installation?
The ACS FORGED is designed for DIY installation using common hand tools. Leitner estimates installation at approximately 2โ3 hours for most vehicles.
How Long Does Installation Take?
Most owners can assemble the rack in approximately 1โ1.5 hours. Mounting the rack to the vehicle, drilling the required holes, and installing the support brackets typically takes an additional 1โ1.5 hours. Total installation time is generally 2โ3 hours.
Are Installation Tools Included?
Yes. The kit includes the required drill bit and rivet nut setting tool needed for installation.
Why Choose A Drill-Mounted Rack System?
A drill-mounted system provides exceptional structural rigidity and stability compared to many clamp-only systems, making it ideal for heavy cargo, rooftop tents, and aggressive off-road driving.
Looking For A No-Drill Option?
Shop our Leitner No-Drill Bed Rack Collection for ACS FORGED systems that install without drilling on select trucks.
