See it on a truck

A side step that hides away

The BedStep2 drops out from under the bed with a nudge of your foot, giving you a solid foothold just ahead of the rear wheel for reaching over the side. Fold it back up and it tucks beneath the bed, out of sight and out of the way.

Stainless pivots, no grease needed

Every pivot is stainless steel and the joints are self-lubricating, so the step keeps swinging freely without regular greasing. Rinse off mud and road salt with mild soap and water.

Reach the front of the bed

A crossover toolbox or a load that has slid toward the cab is awkward to reach from the tailgate. Standing on a step beside the bed, rated to 300 lb, puts it within arm's length without climbing in or stretching over the wheel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on specs, fit and support

Will one step cover both sides of the truck?

No. The installation guide has you configure the brackets for either the driver or the passenger side, so one assembly serves one side of the truck. If you want a step on each side, plan for one per side, and where AMP Research makes separate driver and passenger parts, the listing title names the side.

Can I use it to reach a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch?

Usually not. The step mounts behind the cab and ahead of the rear wheel, and its position is fixed by the brackets for your truck rather than chosen by you. That spot is ideal for a crossover toolbox or the front of the bed, but it is too far forward to reach a hitch over the rear axle on most trucks. Owners who moved it rearward fabricated their own brackets, which is a modification the warranty does not cover.

Does installation require drilling?

On many trucks, yes. Several guides have you drill the frame or the bed channel and set rivet nuts with the supplied tool, and some call for drill bit sizes that most home toolboxes lack. Others bolt up to existing holes. The guide for your truck is linked on its page with the full tool list, so read it before deciding whether to do the job yourself; AMP Research recommends professional installation.

How solid does it feel underfoot?

It is rated to 300 lb and built from aluminum with stainless steel pivots, but it hangs from brackets at one side of the truck rather than running its full length, so expect a little give when you put your weight on the outer edge. Step onto the center of the pad, hold the bed rail, and recheck the bracket bolts after installation and again after the first few weeks of use.

Will it fit a dually?

It depends on the part. AMP Research makes BedStep2 versions for some dual-rear-wheel trucks and others that exclude them, and the listing title and fitment table say which applies. Check both before ordering for a dually.

Does it need any maintenance?

Very little. The joints are self-lubricating and the pivots are stainless steel, so there is nothing to grease. Rinse mud and road salt off the linkage with mild soap and water, keep waxes and protectants off the pad so it does not get slippery, and always fold the step up before you drive.
