Installation

Add a stylish and useful rear step to make accessing your truck or SUV's rear cargo area easier and safer with the BedStep Bumper Step by AMP Research. Not only is it rated to hold 300 pounds, its footing surface area is one of the widest on the market – allowing you to place both feet on it for better dexterity while you work. While most rear steps require a rear trailer hitch for mounting, this one does not. Instead, it secures to the vehicle frame member typically found underneath or behind your rear bumper. So if you don't have a trailer hitch, the BedStep Bumper Step still gives you back-saving functionality. And if you do have a trailer hitch, you can use it for other things without removing your Bumper Step because its retracting design effectively keeps it out of the way.

AMP Research's commitment to quality materials such as high-grade aluminum and stainless steel will keep the BedStep Bumper Step looking good and functioning properly for the life of your vehicle. AMP Research builds all components in the United States and backs them with a 3-year / 36,000 mile warranty against failure due to manufacturing defects.

What Is the Difference Between Flip Down or Retractable
I want to order these steps and it's asking me if i prefer the flip down or retractable. Anyone know what the difference is? Thanks.

Should Be OEM
The step is amazing. I wish it was OEM, it should be especially as trucks keep getting taller. Easy install, easy to use. Seems very sturdy. Works great with gate up or down. I look forward to the summer season of camping and boating where it will REALLY be useful.

Worth It!!!
If you have a lifted Ford F-250 this could be the best mod. Safety is the key, trying to access and leave the truck bed without this product is dangerous.

Necessary
I purchased the Driver Side Truck Bed. Choose the STEP according to where you need it. I will be purchasing the DRIVER SIDE TRUCK BED step too. So if you can, purchase both? It won't be a regrettable purchase. The SIDE STEP will help access items instead of climbing up all the time. Installation is super easy. It is very strong for standing and stepping up and down. Bring it down with your foot. Tuck it back up, not at all conspicuous. It won't come down until you physically put it down. Hope this helps. It is annoying when reviews are like " good quality item" or shipping was slow or fast.

Step w/ Room for Quality Improvement
My F150 truck came without the origin tailgate step from the company. Getting on and off the bed became arduous. I decided to buy the bumper step. Find here pros and cons of this step. Fitting was great. The step fits perfectly under the bumper, retracts spring-powered and it easy to extend. The whole principle is great. But, the quality of the surface coating of the step was poor. Fitting of the step pad was poor as well. Had to trim it a bit. Was too much plastic under it. This prevented from snapping into the gap of the lower arm. The step came with all required screws. But, two of them were made of cheap metal. I used a professional nut but the head of these screws, holding the arm to the base structure were so weak I twisted all corners. Threw them away and replaced them by high quality screws. The threads of the base structure were not covered during coating. This required to recut the threads. No worries if you have metric threat cutter. Recommendation: tighten both screws of the arm before installing the step to your bumper. This is much easier. To be prepared for the water and the salt of the road: the step gets an additional layer of coating. Summarize: great step, but for $240 bucks I expected a much better quality without any rework.

Good Product
Bedstep looks good and works as advertised. Some difficulty in installation as written instructions were lacking, depending only on pictorial graphics. Instructions were not specific to my Chevy Silverado 1500 which made install more difficult than need be. 2 bolts sent, without nuts, were too small and required reusing OEM bolts for bracket install. Equipment gets 5 stars but instructions get 2.

It fits well and tucks in very discreetly under truck should be a standard accessory.

A Step Up
Looks good, when it's in the up position it's cons, it's concealed you almost wouldn't know it's there. It's all foot operated. Easy installation, took me about 20 minutes. Makes my life so much easier getting in and out of the back of my truck.
