Unique step for entry into bed box
I wanted to thank everyone for all the great information that I've been able to learn from reading the posts on this site. Sometimes I feel bad in always taking and never being able to give advice so I was looking for something I could give back to the community. I thought some of you might appreciate the step that I constructed in order to effect easy entry into the bed of the truck. The bed is very difficult for me to get into without some sort of assistance and I really didn't like anything that was on the market, so I built this unit out of 2" rectangular tubing and installed it into the side of the towing hitch. Note that it pivots nicely out of the way when not in use. I think these pictures are probably self explanatory. Feel free to copy.

Hey now! That is a good idea. I usually just use my 8" drop hitch I leave in the receiver, but that looks pretty cool. Will it pass the 250 test? ( thats what I weigh) 
That might be a little too high to step if it comes out the side of the receiver unless I could incorporate a drop in your step. I have 6" lift and 37's. Rep sent
