Install orientation per the instructions (or my interpretation of them) looks incorrect on my CCLB.

Anyone got pictures they can share?
 
I started to reply about Amp steps until I realized you were talking about the Bed Step. I went with the Mopar bed step so I am not any help but giving you a free bump to the top. Hopefully, you figured it out over the weekend.

Yeah I haven’t looked at the BedStep yet. This is the BedStep2 that mounts on the side of the truck but thanks for the bump up.
 
In for info.. i want a bedstep2 but curious if theyll work with DRW Mega trucks.
 
Here's the photos of my truck. I installed the AMP Bedside Step2 on my 2020 RAM 3500 Tradesman CC LB dually.

I love that! Do you find yourself using it often?
I am 6'7". I have never had issues getting things out of the bed on my trucks. Until this 2020 RAM 3500 dually! I use it frequently so I am not leaning against the wheel well. I primarily put it on to access the 5th wheel hitch.

Before drilling for the install, bolt up the step and determine where to drill the mounting hole. Had I done that the stowed position would be more parallel to the trim.

Imagine being a midget like me at 5'11 haha. On my 2016 2500 Ram, it was a major PITA to get anything in or out of the bed because of how tall it was even in stock form.

Good tip on the drilling. Thank you.

that would drive me nuts. I would have had to pull it off and re-drill it.

Not enough space to just re-drill. The only real option at this point is to fabricate a bracket and redo. I justify it as having more toe grab area to deploy the step.
 
When it is extended, what's your guess as to the distance that it extends down?

I ran into a situation over weekend loading/unloading fishing rods into the rack I have under my shell through the windoors. The outermost ones were no problem, but I struggled with those in the center. I like the idea of a slight boost, but don't want to be so far up that I couldn't utilize them.

I just measured mine.

I have AMP bed step, not sure which model (if there's more than one) but I didn't have to drill anything to install mine. My truck is srw mega

My truck is a 2020 RAM 3500 Tradesman CC LB DRW that required drilling one hole.
