Bed Extender

[grayrock8]

I moved my bed extender over from my '03 F-150 to my '14 Sierra 1500. I have an Access cover, so had to shim it inwards so it would clear the brackets for the bedcover, but it looks and works great. The GMC bed is wider than the Ford bed was, so I had to add some extensions in the middle to "stretch" it to fit. After it was all done it was really a pretty simple job. Mine is a Steel Horse brand.

Interesting AMP lists theirs as fitting all 2013 models but only 2500 and 3500 for 2014. Hmmm

 

I just installed an AMP Research bed extender yesterday! Easy install and looks awesome. I went with the black one and ordered the Quick-Latch Mounting Bracket Kit for when I install a retractable cover. Total time spent was approximately 1.5 hr. I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow. Bed extender $250, Quick-Latch kit $25. FYI, you do not need the quick latch kit if u don't plan on adding a tonneau cover.

Is it low enough to fit under a tonneau cover or must you take it off if you have a cover? The OEM version I had on my '11 Silverado was low enough to fit under the tonneau such that it could act as a bed separator when tailgate was up and it was flipped into the bed.

Interested in the pics when you have time.

Thanks

It is definitely low enough. The Quick Latch bracket replaces the original bracket therefore gives the bed extender a bit more room so it wont hit the rails of your tonneau cover. The HD Sport is made to work with many tonneau covers, but of course it doesn't say which ones. There seems to be plenty of room so I don't anticipate any problems.

Thanks!

The extensions I used for the middle were large wood dowels. I painted them to match the sides.

Finally got around to posting some pics of the AMP bed extender. Resizing the pics mess up the resolution, but here they are.

Couldn't be simpler. With the tailgate open rotate to 45* degrees and it comes right out. With that said, make sure u lock your tailgate.
