HELP!!!! - Extended Grab Strap Recommendations - Rear Passenger Door Grab Handle RAM1500 Crew

[ramatl73]

Just traded my 2011 RAM 1500 for a 2016 RAM 1500 4WD that already had a lift and doesn't have side steps. Anybody have a suggestion for an extended webbing grab handle for the rear passenger grab handle? It's mainly for my 9 year old son and wife who are much shorter than I am, to help them get up in the truck interim until I figure out a step solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chad

You could just use a loop of webbing fed through the handle?

Pretty easy to braid some rope or paracord into a sort of stirrup-shaped extension loop. And you just loop the new loop thru the old loop, to extend it. And some clear PVC tubing to the new piece for a more comfortable handle

run a bigger loop thru two handle pieces in a figure-8 config and you could have a different handle height for each of them

I just did a Facebook Marketplace search for Ram Step Bars. Tons of results for factory steps for $75-150. I'd just buy a used set and resell them when you're done.

Got it fixed. Wife wanted something production that looked "nicer". I told my son to figure out to get in the truck (make use his noodle and troubleshoot the problem). Using a piece of looped 1" webbing. No steps being added to this truck, even retractable.

Thanks,
