Rich, right after I got my '08, I realized that I wanted roof racks. So back to Ford and ordered the cross bars, the brackets/clamps and all the necessary hardware. I found out that with great difficulty the front caps have to come off, just be carefull. Next you have to unbolt the siderail in the front in order to get at the screw underneath that holds the base for the caps and remove them. Next lay out the rail and ends. The front edge of the rail should be angled up! Next, slide the ends into the rail and insert a crossbar into them. This is easy as the front bolts are still out. When both are in, reverse the process, screw in the ends, bolt the end back to the truck and you can figure out how to get the end cap on. Be patient, and carefull and it all works out. Make sure all the parts for the sliders are assembled correctly befros inserting them into the side rails. I made that mistake and had to take it all apart again. Good luck, Bob :banana:
