Any side hoop steps

[RRekus]

Any side hoop steps, how are they installed? On Frame? I want to place hoops between the back passenger doors and the dually fenders. Can anyone suggest a manufacturer and how they did?

Is this to allow you to access the rear cargo bed?

If so I installed a product from Amp Research called the Bed Step 2. This is a foldable bed step, that is attached to the side of the truck right behind the rear cab doors. I have had this on my truck since 2013. Which was purchased from Geno's Garage; site sponsor. I also have the Bed Step at the tailgate for easier access to the bed from the rear.

I have attached a link to Amp research Bed Step 2 for you to review. http://www.amp-research.com/products/truckaccessories/bedstep2™/

Thanks much... yes this is for access to the bed. Although, I may be still confused on installation. Are most if not all steps attached to the frame rail or else where?
Thank again

Mine are attached to the body mounts.

My Bed Step 2 is mounted to the frame rail and is stabilized by the pick up box sheet metal. The instructions provided has a templet and instructions on how to mount the step.

If you go the link that Jim W attached (post #2), you can download the install guide for Amp steps.

If you are referring to the smaller hoop style steps that became popular in the 80's, I think, before the full length pipe "nerf" bars came onto the scene, those hoops mostly mounted into nothing but the body metal and caused some significant problems after a few years. Like torn and cracked floor pans and such. The best option I've seen for what your wanting is an extended length side step bar. They have 3 step pads on them. Haven't seen any in a while, but haven't had the need to look either.
