They likely do .but I'm waiting until I can put the amp powersteps on .I absolutely despise the standard running boards now that I've had Amps on a previous truck . They actually work! You can fit your foot on them, they come down far enough to make a difference, etc .love them .

I just put the bedstep2 on my 2018. Install was a big P.I.T.A. In comparison to the regular tailgate bedstep from AMP which I also have and installed myself in 30 minutes, the side boxstep took me half a day because the instructions flat out suck and if you follow them, you will have to remove the entire thing to tighten bolts during the last steps. There were missing steps in the instructions also. If you have rear wheel well liners you can't use the supporting brace that comes with bedstep 2 because the hole is occupied already. I bought two, one for each side. The second one was missing 4 bolts.

Installed mine a week or so ago. Similar experience. Directions stink .I provided them feedback about where they should be changed. One note though - you still need to use the brackets. You remove the plastic trim push pin from the liner and put the bolt through from that hole through the bracket. Love the look and functionality - but yes, a PITA to install because of the instructions. I installed both sides so after I figured one out, the other took 30 minutes.

glad to know it wasn't just me. Thanks for the tip on the wheel well liner!
