Wheel to Wheel Step Bar vs Pull Up Handle for a 4x4 Short/Rambox Bed

[Nihilius]

So I have a 2021 1500 4x4 Crew Cab with a short bed and Ramboxes. I have no intention of doing a lift but right now the depth of the rambox places the bed just high and deep enough that I can't quite reach the bottom of the bed standing on flat ground. My initial thought was to go with a wheel to wheel step bar but most of those place the pad a bit further forward than I think I would like. My newest thought is to simply add a grab handle to the top of the accessory rail to help pull myself up on the tire. This is also my first truck so I'm unsure if I'm just overthinking this. Has anyone added a grab handle or bar and care to chime in on how you like it?

Thanks

You can get a bed side foldable step. Amp makes one. I was thinking about getting one once my 4inch lift and 35's are on the truck.

Try pulling yourself up on the tire when it's wet. See if you can stay there. Then go order the wheel-to-wheel step. They're frequently for sale used. Check here, and the local craigslist, and the local facebook marketplace.

On a Rambox truck will the sidestep AMP fit between the factory installed power activated steps and the left rear wheel?

Does AMP make a passenger sidestep?

Thanks for the insight! That's exactly the feedback I was looking for.

Check that out! Thanks for letting me know. Until right now I assumed that the bed step was the same as the rear bumper step. I didn't realize they made both.
