Under Bed Spare Tire Mount Mounting Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am considering purchasing the under bed spare tire mount from LMC, and I'm trying to figure out if it is absolutely necessary to spend almost $30 on 2 long bolts. I seem to remember reading somewhere that a threaded rod from Home Depot will also work. Does anybody have any thoughts on this? Also, the long bolt that the locking device attaches to looks like it's supposed to thread down from above. Does the bed have to be removed to install this bolt? Any pictures would also be really helpful.

Thanks!
