Tailgate step?

[LightingBlue]

I dunno, the tailgate dampener almost got me with the T50 bit you needed. Luckily Wife had a T45 that worked in her socket set. Home Depot trips count towards install time in my book. Still bought a T50 last time I was at Home Depot just in case.

One of the best pick-ups i've ever grabbed was a big bit kit. Snagged the Craftsman set for myself before finding the off-brand kit which is made by the same people. Kit is literally identical except for the color of the blow-molded case and packaging (which isn't worth the extra $10 to me)

The instruction says 15 min installation. Took me and a friend 1 hr. i have crummy socket set and I’m 75.
a young guy like you probably can put it on in 15 min.
im not complaining, if it took 8 hrs to install I would still buy it.

Can you tell me what the height is from the step to the top of the bumper when the step is down all the way?. I am not far behind you in age (70) and because of arthritis have a hell of a time getting into the bed of the truck. Also, do you have a Bestop part number for this step? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Kent. They are pretty proud of that step. I wouldn't hesitate to spend that much if it for sure would let me climb in and out of my truck easily. I guess I could order it from Amazon and just hold it in place to see how it would work. Then if I did not like it, I could send it back for free.

Thanks for the Amazon link! Cheaper, free shipping, and I get Amazon points on the back end too, so win, win, win for me.

To those of you installing one of these steps...please report back after using them during the winter when they are full of snow, ice and mud.

Although I really would like a step, I'm reluctant to make the purchase because of winter issues. The OEM Ford step on the F150 in front of the rear wheel is a royal PITA in the winter and rarely work like they are suppose to., even when well oiled. These are in the direct path of debris kicked up by the rear tire.
