bed step

hello all...yesterday I installed the bed step from amp research and highly recommend this unit. The ease of install and how much it helps getting in and out of the truck bed is well worth the price. 200.00 Just my 2 cents

and how heavy is that tailgate?

+1 for the Bed Step. One of the best additions I've done to a truck. Use it all the time, easy to extend and retract. And the tailgate doesn't have to be open

Yes the step is designed to work with the tailgate down, it's right on the corner of the box, the step is on an over center spring so it pops up or you just grab it & pull it down, I love it..thx

They work great, just a little pressure and it drops down and a tip of the toe and it pops up. I'm too old to try crawling up on the bumper to the tailgate.

I know your right. I keep a aluminum fold up deal in back of truck always. Only way to wash the monster. But id like to have that step for simplicity getting to stuff in bed.lotta money for a little step.

Bite the bullet, it was probably the best $200 I've spent on a vehicle. I hated doing it because it did seem so much for what it is. But the thing works, and makes it so much easier to get into /out of the bed.

I have the Ford man step, so I don't have an Amp tailgate step. I have seen them on display and on a friend's truck. They work great.
