What boggles my mind is why they would include 8 of those really good grade bolts if they weren't supposed to be left installed.
If they were to be removed, Leer could have just given you one bolt to reuse for installing each clamp (OR) given you 8 shitty quality bolts.

I just bought some myself. M8 x 1.25 is the thread size. I went with 16mm length.
Would have preferred stainless, but couldn't find them locally, so went with black.

Gotcha. I chose not to use the Leer supplied eyelets that the yellow straps are probably supposed to be clipped to, as I agree with the OP that they look out of place. But I did clip the yellow straps to the ford OEM tiedown eyelet on the front side of the bed.
Didn't use the sticky stuff...
Just finished installing mine today (lucky enough to get the deal before the price went up). Overall pleased with the end result, but have 2 questions:
1: What are the yellow straps for on the underside near the cab used for?
2: What is the approx 2 ft length of what I will call "sticky...
Drive modes still work as expected (Sport, Tow, Eco, etc), but to actually change the Livernois tune you have to reflash the ECU under the hood. It's not on-the-fly, but takes less than 5 mins.
So in effort to figure this out, I had an idea.
I pulled the sensor from the cracked housing, and put it in the housing for the new camera (so to the truck, the electronics are the same, just without a cracked lens).
Cameras work now, BUT are not in alignment.
I did the alignment with...

I didn't actually walk out to the truck and check it with Forscan, but here is the AS BUILT info from Ford's website as of today. I'm guessing this will be valid as I haven't made any changes to anything recently.

I had to get a new key a few days ago to re-activate Forscan. FYI, they didn't sent me anything via email; it just appears on their webpage after you hit submit (the one that says it may take 30 mins or so). Had to hit refresh a few times, but within 30 mins, that page updated with the new info.
Found this ...

I had Livernois do a "custom" tune for me that I've been running for over a year with no issues.
It is a stock tune, with the the gear skip nonsense removed, and E-Boost.
Is this tune you are referring to an update to the E-Boost they issued before? If so, I need to get mine updated. I don't...
Also, here is the thread on my upgrade. See message #15.
