Mopar bed step.

[ExcursionDiesel]

I got it. I had to loosen the 3 bumper bolt so I could slide the bracket back 1/8" so I could get the bolt started. All good now. Love my new step.

Good job! I'm thinking the step is so heavy it sags and misaligns on the 3rd bolt. Loosening them all and pushing up on the step while uttering curse words seems to be the trick to starting the last bolt.

I messed with it long enough and got it to work!

Just ordered exhaust and already have the bed step. Were you able to adjust and clear the step?

Yeah I got mine on with about a half inch of clearance. If I push it back stored with my foot and it goes back hard it taps my exhaust but nothing concerning.

Weather finally cooperated. Here are a few pics.

First I hear that the Borla exhaust systems, the Touring, the S-type and Atak all work with the side step without any issues.

Second, has anyone ordered, received from anyone and installed the D version 82215289AD ?

Did your bed step come with any hardware? I ordered one and it arrived yesterday with just the step assembly in a box. Now I'm being told that it bolts on using existing bolts in the frame. Problem with that is there is only 2 of the 3 bolts in the frame? Now the dealer is having to try to figure out what size bolt I need and to order it. Box didn't even have installation instructions. Pretty straightforward to install but seems strange not to have any in the box.

I'm planning on replacing the center speaker next and then I'm thinking I'll go after the 2 in the rear headliner. Would be nice if I could find someone local to me to split the cost of the center speaker. I'm waaaaay up here in Ontario Canada.

That sucks as I have an extra one just sitting in my closet.

I'm guessing you're South of the border? Lol

Yupers and sadly the cost to ship that wouldn’t be worth it.

No it would end up costing as much as a new set prob.

That’s sad as I really try to help out as much as possible on the forum.

I appreciate the thought

ok, it is a long thread and I am going to post here at the risk of repeating.
Got my step from a dealer selling on Ebay.
Once I got the old bolts out I was able to install no problem. The step goes out no problem and goes in cleanly BUT when kicked in from the back and allowed to retract at full speed it taps the muffler. Doe this happen to others? Suggestions? Do I even care?

So I have the same issue. Do I care? Is there an adjustment to be made. When resting it is not on the exhaust. If I bring it back slowly it is clear. It is only when I push it back and let the spring take it back that it taps the exhaust. You can see the tailpipe shake when it goes back. I have stock exhaust on Rebel Hemi.

Im not concerned with it. Someone made mention of adding a washer or something to push it out a little further I believe but I’m not doing that. Only way it would be of concern to me would be if I could hear it tapping up against the exhaust when my truck was running or something. I don’t use my bed step that often and when I do I just put it back gently, usually with my hand from the side.

Yeah sorry about that, I was writing a reply to another post and somehow I ended up posting it in this one. Not even sure how I managed that one.
