The bolts are going to be at an angle, but don't worry about that. I used lock nuts so you don't have to worry about them backing off. When you see more pics of all this it will make more sense.
Edit: I just noticed that you said you did all that with the bed on. I thought it would be impossible to do that...lol but apparently not. Anyway, I'll post up some more pictures tomorrow.
I would have been easier with the bed off but I didn't feel like going through all of that and figured I'd try, we'll see how it goes when I put the strap on
