[cujet]

My front bed rail (against the window) was bent by my dift bike front tire. Is there a product made to fit the stepside bed front rail to make it stronger? If so could you please include any info you may have about it TIA Chris

How about a piece of angle iron or C channel? Screw or rivet it across the front of the bed where your bike tire hits. Heck, even a wood 2X4 would help distribute the force from your bike tire around so it won't dent your truck.

check out the Deezee diamond plate line.

In addition to the diamond plate rail and tailgate protectors, they make a full length front bed protector. It goes over the rail and extends to the floor to provide additional impact protection to the front of the bed.

They look pretty sharp too.

OK, thanks,

I was looking for a pre made product. I could use an angle, or a fabricated part, but often there is a ready to go type part that is easy to install.
