Lets just say I am on the height restricted category and jumping on to the tail gate at my age is out the question. And I too have the bed step easy to install and works for me. :)

Interesting, I just got this done as well. got a used Amp step for cheap on offerup and installed it really quick.. I like it as I'm short and getting older.. I would like to find one for the Passenger side.

If i did not have the BedSlide
I would have picked up a Tire Step

this one does not reach out enough to press against the Rubber tires

I just bought and installed an aftermarket bed step via Amazon. It is no different in design than the vastly more expensive Mopar ones. However, because I have aftermarket tailpipes, it rubs against the pipe when it is retracted. I am considering either moving the tailpipe inward a bit to create some space, or adding spacers between the step and the chassis where it mounts.

The problem with these two solutions is the first will push the tailpipe off center from the curve in the body below the tailgate (Which a Muffler shop I visited says cannot be done!), and the second will push the retracted step outward from the vehicle.

Any ideas?

I’m having the same issue with mine. I have the Borla atak cat-back exhaust and the tips are too big.. smh

Just an idea, have you thought of just putting a dimple in the tailpipe with just enough space to allow the step some clearance
