Airlift Bumper Step

[FirstGen FBody]

Does anyone know how the folding step on the ends of this bumper attach?

I have seen these mounted with a bracket attached to the outside like this.

The hidden mounts on the tan one looks better and the hooks can be reinstalled without trying to widening the original ones.
Thanks

I want a set?

They would make getting in and out of the back easier. I use to use the hitch receiver before i put the spare tire on.

I was just looking at those on Amazon for under $5 each. Will definitely be getting me some. Getting too old to be climbing in and out of the back. Wife wants one under the passenger door so she can get in without help...

If anyone knows how to mount it please share....

I'm assuming that you just weld a plate to the end of the bumper then mount the step to that.

When I wanted to mount antennas onto the truck without drilling any more holes in the body I bought some 1.5 x 2" rectangular steel tubing and welded a plate onto the end of it that would hold the "sugar scoop" to mount the antenna. The whole thing is held into the bumper with an aircraft quick release pin so it can be easily changed or removed. The same idea could be used to mount these steps.

I just mounted mine on the face of the AL bumper, near the outside edge. Even with the tailgate down, it's still clear and easy enough to stand on. Plus, you can get it lower down than you could on the side because of the angle at the bottom of the outside edge. My knees aren't what they used to be, so that helped.

I'll find a pic an post it later this morning.

Tried to PM you, but the system will not let me because your message box is full. Not sure I can put the link here as I think it is against the rules. Try searching Amazon for Buyers Products B2797BPC Safety Folding Grab/Step, Black E-Coat Finish

Sorry about that... yes add on items require you to order 25 worth of items to get that price. I did not even think about that since my wife lives on Amazon. Just searched for Fold Down Utility Bed Body Step and there were some that came up that were not add on items, but they were not black. I wanted a black one as I don't want shiny ones as they would stick out like a sore thumb on the HMMWV.

No Problem Stan, I just never encountered that before, guess I always spent more money than the minimum LOL........ Anyway off topic, just got a 4K dvd player to go with a 4K TV I've had for some time. I never noticed that much of a difference between bluray and regular dvd's so I haven't bought many blurays but I sure notice the difference in 4K!!!!!!! Just wow, so I ordered the 5 Jurassic park bundle DVD's with them. Those movies should look fantastic. Robert

I feel like this was just a challenge issued out to all young GIs... the operator's manual very specifically says to not use the pintle hitch as a step, yet every single 11B/C I've ever met always goes to step on that first to get in. I personally like to actually fold down the tail gate and use the sling guides as a step, but I've been to a few places where I've had a few too many and I just hork myself up over the closed tail gate and collapse into the bed to get to whatever it was I wanted back there.

i knew i should of said i have the pintle/2 inch receiver.

I dont have the pintle on it tho, i still have to get the bracket that goes on the backside.
Your just asking to to get hurt if you use the rotating pintle as a step.
Before i had the airlift bumper i use to use the sling guide also. They work great, but that is a pain with a tire carrier.
