Pic from a better angle would help, doesn't really stick out at all and I'm notoriously clumsy and haven't run into it once yet.
My bumper only has two bolts on there and the instructions showed three iirc. Since I am missing the bolt closed to the bumper, I mounted it on the only two bolts I had and it barely sticks out past the bumper. I contacted them and they were like oh yeah it doesn't fit your model. Yours does not look like this?
At that point just get a tubular pre runner rear bumper. Plenty of holes to stick a foot in.Ok , PRETEND this is properly welded pipe and not scrap fittings from me junk pile , 1 1/2 PVC fits inside the hitch tube but it's a little loose , not sure what metal equivalent will be , may need to sleeve it, 90 straight back to a T , works on both sides that way (OCD deal breaker). Would need to drill 2 holes all the way through the tube , also can catch the bolt on the bumper bracket out near the step , should be solid ... Can be moved down and more under the bumper also but I kinda like it out...Have to scrounge around at work for some real pipe ... IMA DO IT !!! , Still pretty buzzed though , may reassess when more sober...
As I vape and think about it , those are NOT bed steps , I'm in too good of shape to need those , those will be "rear bumper sliders " ... That you can step on ...
What is it for? Withe gate down there is no way you can use it. Beyond climbing into the bed what do you need a step for? I could see it if you want some protection from low speed rear Enders.When I reached out to Amp, I got the same answer. I picked up the Weather-Tech receiver step. This is the Weather-Tech step.
If you were able to attach it using those 2 bolts, than you have correctly installed it. The 2 holes in the step will only line up with 2 bolts on the frame.
I had to put the tip of my boot under the bumper to step on it. Didn't look anything like the picture.
I'm going to surmise that you don't have a factory tow/hitch set up, therefor you have a different rear bumper/bumper bracket set up. I am willing to bet that if you can reach your fingers over the area where the 2 bolts are, you will find a third hole/captive nut....those are used when the factory hitch is used along with a different bracket and bumper.
Here...I took a few pic's of mine..
Yep that is what mine looked like. No trailer hitch bumper. I couldn't use it like that with size 12 steel toe boots. I just step on the bumper instead. But I don't like doing that because not only is the bumper space very small with the tailgate down, I feel like one of these days I'm going to kick and crack the taillight.Here...I took a few pic's of mine..
First is looking straight down, you can't even see the step
Second is just backing off a few feet...you can see the step is still tucked under the bumper.
Third is from the side, and it looks just like the step in your photo.
Interesting but looks like it will be slippery when wet.
