I too found the Bedstep 2's flex a bit...from side-to-side. I weigh 220lbs. The instructions show attaching the step pad in an offset fashion. You can also attach the pad centered, which is what I did because it flexed too much while offset.
Despite the flexing, I'm still glad I have them.

Thanks! I still haven't gotten around to installing them. Good to know that I need to have the drill battery charged up when I do!

Just checked my Bedstep pad mount positions...they are offset per instructions. I thought I had centered the pads.

They install very easy... only one hole to drill... it was super easy... took less than 30 minutes and I am slow

FYI for those installing the bedstep2, on my 2021, the hole that they said to drill was already there. No drill required, bolted right up. Not sure when they started adding this.

No, not at all. The auto-deploys end at the back of the cab.

Asking again anyone try to install these on a F250? My buddy has them on his 2018 F150 - they are super nice.

I bought one off Amazon and it installed on my f350 super easy... had to drill one hole.... another poster says the 2021 has the second hole already there. it retracts easy and can be pulled out with my foot..
