Expert Reply:

If you were to cut the ends of bolts on the mounting clamps for the Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # EM07705 that would likely not void the warranty. That said, once you cut the bolt end it no longer has a coating to protect from rust so it will degrade much faster. Therefore, you would need to put some paint over the exposed metal as that would then solve this issue.
