The handle is made from tubular steel and held in place with a ø3/8 diameter stainless steel pin. It comes with a built-in magnet that's strong enough to hold it in place when not in use. There's nothing fancy about it, just simply grab the handle and lift up, it will stop when it reaches the right angle to help you into the back of the truck. To put the handle back, simply push it back down and the strong magnet will keep it held to the base plate.

This tailgate step is 25" wide and 18.5" deep. At only 1-1/4" tall, the step won't interfere with loading or take up any space in your truck bed. Lots of room left for your toys!

Your money goes to hard-working, local talent, who pride themselves on high quality.

The truck bed step features retaining clips and a ball-spring detent designed to keep the step from rattling or jumping out of place while driving. 

The tailgate step is held in place securely by rivet-nuts, which are similar to the fancy wall anchors that hold heavy things on your wall, but these hold steel. The pullout strength for one is 820 lbs. They require drilling a small hole in the steel or fiberglass of your tailgate and are compressed to hold securely onto the sheet steel. It takes us about half an hour to install the rivet-nuts for each step.

Since the rivet-nuts are threaded, the step can be removed and re-installed very quickly. After the rivet-nuts are already installed, we can take off the tailgate step in about a minute (once it's already installed), and put it back on in about two minutes.

We've tried several methods of holding the step on the tailgate and determined the safest solution was a permanent one.

Made from heavy-duty expanded metal grating, the main stepping surface is made to be wide and non-slip to keep your footing during every-day use.

We hate cheap consumer goods, and hate throwing them in a landfill even more. Because of that, we have designed a product that is meant to last a really long time. The FlipStep is fully powder coated and assembled with stainless steel hardware to prevent rust over time. We're offering a lifetime warranty that includes repairing any step that is broken or worn out. We would rather fix it than have it go in a landfill.
