The 6 Best Bumpsteps For Truck (2023 reviews)

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a step. The amp research retractable bumper step is exactly that - it's a simple step that hits all the right notes. Strong and rugged, this non-slip, retractable bumper step quickly flips down with the nudge of your foot providing a faster, easier and safer way to load or unload your pickup’s cargo. They shoudl create slightly 'wider' lenght holes that can help align the bolts better versus just shooting for a hole in one. The item is durable and the step is large enough for your boots for an easy access/exit with tailgate up or down. It is heavy duty metal except for the actual step.

The 3rd bolt is a 15 mm bolt and popped off fairly easy. It's easy to deploy, easy to retract, yet solidly in place when retracted and driving. The reaction mechanism is nice and smooth. It does have a tendency to collect slush from the road, which then sits on top of the step. It's a duty piece, and operation is very user friendly.
