🧰 Fender-Integrated Toolboxes

Four lockable toolboxes built into the flared fenders keep your gear secure—without sacrificing style or space.

🔄 Fold-Down Steel Side Rails

Durable 4″ steel sides fold down for forklift loading and wide cargo access. Keep loads secure or drop the sides for full versatility.

📦 Flat Steel Deck with Tapered Corners

A strong, spacious deck gives you flexibility, while the tapered rear corners make tight turns and trailer hookups easier.

🛡️ Factory-Installed Mud Flaps

Protect your truck and keep things clean with rugged mud flaps that come standard.

🛠️ Optional Factory Upgrades

Customize your Stepside bed with these add-ons:

• 3″ Receiver Hitch

• Camera & Sensor Brackets (for OEM system integration)

• Fuel Sump & Fill Options (matched to your truck’s tank layout)

• Custom Toolboxes or Lighting Packages

⚠️ Hitch Capacity Guidelines

The included 2.5″ hitch is rated for 24,000 lbs towing and 1,800 lbs tongue weight, but safe use depends on:

• Proper trailer load distribution

• Experience with heavy towing

• Use of fully rated components

⚠️ Note: Older Stepside beds with 2″ receivers are not rated for 24,000 lbs.

🏗️ Frame Reinforcement Tips

To safely tow at maximum capacity, reinforce the hitch to your truck’s frame using structural steel at approximately a 45° angle. You can either:

• Bolt into the pre-cut upright tube holes, or

• Weld directly to the frame or bumper

This reinforcement ensures long-term towing strength and protects your truck from structural stress.
