The lift block kit solves one specific and very annoying problem: a tailgate accessory that sits in the way of the slide. Ford's tailgate step is the usual culprit, and it is not the only one, because bed extenders, step assists and some liner lips all intrude into the space the deck wants to travel through. The kit raises the whole BEDSLIDE on spacer blocks so the deck passes over the obstruction instead of catching on it. It works with any BEDSLIDE, and because it lifts the frame rather than modifying the slide, nothing about how the deck operates changes. The one thing to bear in mind is that everything on the deck also moves up by the height of the blocks, so if you run a tonneau cover or a cap, check your clearance before ordering.

Features
Clears Tailgate Steps and Accessories BEDSLIDE built this for tailgate accessories that get in the way of the deck, and calls out Ford tailgate step up kits by name. Raising the slide is a cleaner answer than removing the step or living with a deck that catches.
Works With Any BEDSLIDE The kit lifts the mounting frame rather than altering the slide, so it is not tied to a series or a deck size. A 1000 CLASSIC and a 2000 HEAVY DUTY take the same blocks.
UHMW and Foam Blocks The kit uses UHMW spacer blocks, a hard low-friction plastic that takes the load, together with foam spacer blocks that fill and seal. It is a proper spacer system rather than a stack of washers.
Nothing About the Slide Changes Because the lift happens under the frame, the deck extension, the latching and the bearings all behave exactly as they did. The only thing that changes is ride height.
Made in the USA BEDSLIDE builds this in the USA alongside the slides. That matters most for the parts you cannot see: the extrusion tolerances that let the bin slide into a BEDTRAX rail cleanly, and the hardware that has to hold a loaded bin steady over a washboard road.
Fitment & Compatibility
Application

Ford tailgate step up kits
✓ Yes, this is the application BEDSLIDE names
Other tailgate accessories fouling the deck
✓ Yes
Any BEDSLIDE series
✓ Yes, the kit lifts the frame and is not series specific
Any BEDSLIDE deck size
✓ Yes
Trucks with a tonneau cover or cap
● Check your clearance first, the whole slide rises
Fit guidance: This is a universal kit rather than a vehicle-specific one. It raises any BEDSLIDE so the deck clears a tailgate accessory, and BEDSLIDE names Ford tailgate step up kits as the case it was designed around. The consequence worth thinking about before you order is that everything on the deck rises by the height of the blocks, so if you run a tonneau cover, a cap or a low-clearance rack, measure the headroom you have now before adding to the stack.

Installation
Type: Spacer blocks fitted between the BEDSLIDE frame and the bed floor · Time: About 1 hour, since the slide has to be unbolted and re-seated · Tools: Socket set, plus a second person to lift the slide · Difficulty: Intermediate, DIY
The blocks go between the slide frame and the bed floor, so the BEDSLIDE has to come loose and go back down onto the spacers. Get a second person for the lift. Re-check the mounting fasteners after the first few loaded trips, because a raised mount puts the load a little further from the floor. Roll the deck fully out and back before loading, to confirm the obstruction really is cleared.

About BEDSLIDE
BEDSLIDE invented the slide-out truck bed cargo tray. The idea is simple and it has not needed much improving: put the whole bed floor on heavy-duty bearings so it rolls out to you instead of making you climb in after your gear. Contractors, utility fleets, overlanders and anyone who has ever crawled the length of a bed looking for one tool have been buying them for the same reason for decades. Today BEDSLIDE is part of the LEER family under JB Poindexter and Co, which is the largest truck cap and accessory group in North America, and it remains an active NTEA member supplying commercial and work-truck upfitters. Every BEDSLIDE product is made in the USA.
The accessory line exists because the deck is only half the system. BEDTRAX T-slot rails run the length of every current BEDSLIDE, and the bins, trays, guardrails, tie-downs and mounting kits all drop into that same track, so you can add capability years after the slide went in without drilling anything new. Parts are built from aluminum and composite with an all-weather soft surface inside the bins, and they are designed to live outdoors in the same weather the slide does.
Prestige Truck is an authorized BEDSLIDE dealer. Every part we ship is new, in the factory box, and covered by the full BEDSLIDE factory warranty.
BEDSLIDE Specs, Measurements And Accessories
A run through how BEDSLIDE measures its decks and how the accessory range attaches to them.
Handy for checking rail lengths and clearances before you add bins or trays.
Built Weather Resistant
How BEDSLIDE's materials stand up to weather: the composite WEATHERDECK, coated steel frame and sealed hardware, shown outdoors rather than in a studio.
A slide lives in an open bed, so this is the durability story that matters most day to day.
The Lifetime Warranty
BEDSLIDE explains its warranty: five years on every slide, extended to lifetime coverage when you register within 30 days of purchase.
It is the original owner's warranty, so register it when it arrives and the slide is covered for as long as you keep the truck.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
What problem does this actually solve?
A tailgate accessory sitting in the path of the slide. BEDSLIDE names Ford tailgate step up kits specifically, and the same issue comes up with bed extenders, step assists and some liner lips. The blocks raise the whole slide so the deck travels over the obstruction instead of catching on it.
Will it fit my BEDSLIDE?
Yes. The kit raises the mounting frame rather than changing the slide, so it is not tied to a series or a deck size. A 1000 CLASSIC, a 1500 CONTRACTOR, a 2000 HEAVY DUTY and a MAX Extension all take the same blocks.
Does raising the slide cause any problems?
One worth thinking about before you order: everything on the deck goes up by the height of the blocks. If you run a tonneau cover, a cap or a low rack, measure the clearance you have now, because a loaded deck that used to slide under the cover might not afterwards.
Does the slide work any differently once it is lifted?
No. The extension, the latch positions and the bearings are all untouched, because the lift happens underneath the frame. The only thing that changes is how high the deck sits.
Is this a hard job?
Middling. The BEDSLIDE has to come loose so the blocks can go between the frame and the bed floor, then go back down onto them, so budget about an hour and get a second person for the lift. Roll the deck fully in and out before you load it, to confirm the obstruction is genuinely cleared.
What does the BEDSLIDE warranty cover on an accessory like this?
Every BEDSLIDE product carries a 5-year warranty, and BEDSLIDE extends it to a lifetime warranty if you register the product within 30 days of purchase. Coverage is for the original owner and does not transfer if you sell the truck or the part. What is not covered is worth knowing up front: misuse, loading past the rated capacity, corrosion of the steel frame from exposure, deck de-lamination caused by water, fuel or chemical spills, modifications that change the design, improper installation, accidents, and neglect. Register it when it arrives, not later.

Look is great. 100 lbs
Look is great. 100 lbs lighter than my 2nd pick. Lid lock and opening are smooth. Only minor knock I give is the the tie down hooks are hard to install - thinking I should have done them before installing.

A must have
I really like this mat. I was apprehensive at first but, the mat does a great job of keeping things from sliding around without having to secure it. perfect fit. But i think i will be adding some short screws to secure the mat to the DECKED system.

I never knew how much I needed this
As with all BAK covers, the quality is amazing. What I didnt fully appreciate until installing was the ease of opening - especially in a lifted truck. No more need to find the right handhold. Just roll it back with a single hand. Its also great to see out of my rear window when fully open - something you lose with the fold back covers. Customer service is awesome. I has an installation question and the representative stayed on the line as I adjusted an alignment to ensure I did it properly.

Better then expected.
Searched for about 6 months to find the tonneau cover. I really wanted the security of a hard top without sticking above the bed rails it checked those boxes. I also did not want to drill my truck bed. The install was super simple my wife and I had it on the truck in about a half an hour.

The toolbox is nice. I
The toolbox is nice. I think Ill get a lot of years of service out of it. I like how the lid opens and the tie downs are a nice touch. It seems to be well built. And tough. Im pleased with my purchase and would buy another one.
