How do you access your bed?

You guys must be old. I just jump out!

I talked like you exactly 20 years ago.

Yes, but it beats the alternative.

I thought the thread was about getting stuff out of your truck bed, not how we climb our old decrepit butts up into the bed.

He's talking about using the Mopar bed step. The cutouts in the Chevy bumper are way higher than the Mopar bed step. So if truck is lifted, you are stretching to get to up to it from the ground. The Mopar extending bed step is awesome. Much better design and lower to ground making entry and exit of bed much easier. Plus you can see it, and you are feeling for a cut out in bumper with you foot

The combination of both would be ideal, TBH. The Mopar step is further down than I’d like.

I kind of thought that too, but with the 1" rear lift and larger tires, it's about perfect height difference between the ground and tailgate.

I’ll often lower the truck (air suspension) when loading/unloading the bed. So it puts the step a lot closer to the ground. It’s still better than nothing, of course.

Thanks, guys. I'm not looking for steps. I don't want to crawl up. I was just curious how everyone else uses their truck. Sounds like everyone crawls up in the bed.

I use my Snow Broom that has an Extendable Handle to 8' and I have Windoors on the Cap.

Funny thing is he was 72-73 at that time. Now we are likely about to have 2 guys 10 years older than he was about to run.

Yes it can be done. Modified Mopar P/N 82216265A bed step. Machined mounting flange to clear existing corner step structure, trimmed corner step lower mounting flange & drilled new mounting bolt hole. It worked out slick. Now I have the best of both worlds.View attachment 68407

Saw this a while back...pretty cool but i don't have MFT

Stock height still plus I seem to be younger then you guys I can just step onto the tailgate without a issue or use the bed-step if I’m feeling lazy.
