the new step gate
Will the new step gate fit on a 2005 superduty? I seen one at the race this Sunday and it was cool. Would love to have one.

It is not a direct fit. Someone posted a couple weeks ago how to do it.

I think they go right on, you just have to do some modifying if you want the spring deal to make it go up easier

They are a Direct Fit. I would love to but an 08' tailgate on my 04'. One problem, its way to much money! your love at over 1 grand after paint and everything.I Work in parts here at a dealership and have already priced it out.

YIKES!!! Guess my current tail gate looks pretty good after all.
I gotta admit, climbing up the wheel/tire to get into the bed is exercise! LMAO

Well, certainly looks functional, but man, it sure is ugly!
An even
cheaper alternative sans handle.

And this one looks barely functional, and way ugly. Of course that's just my opinion. I think I'll wait to find a good deal on the integrated step.

Isn't that nuts. I priced out a few weeks ago and almost soiled myself. The option alone on a new truck is $375 if memory is correct.
