  • White Chevy Silverado with running boards outside Auto Tek Customs

    Running Boards

    Wide, flat boards with tread along the full length. A good fit for daily drivers and families, and they help keep road debris off your rockers.

  • Lifted black Chevy Silverado with chrome wheels and running boards, Stockbridge GA

    Nerf Bars and Drop Steps

    Tubular bars with step pads at each door, for a sportier look. Drop steps sit high for clearance and drop the step lower at each door, a good match for lifted trucks.

  • Lifted green Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with black wheels and side steps at Auto Tek Customs, Henry County GA

    Rock Sliders

    Heavy steel rails that protect your rocker panels on the trail, made for off-road Jeeps, Broncos and Tacomas. Bolt-on only.

  • Gray Toyota pickup with running boards and chrome wheels outside the shop

    Bed Steps

    Steps at the rear bumper or bed side for easier access to the bed, including the AMP Research BedStep, which tucks under the rear bumper.

AMP Research Power Steps

AMP Research PowerSteps fold down when you open a door and tuck away when you close it. You get an easy step in and your full ground clearance back when you drive.

PowerStep: the standard automatic step, with LED lighting.
PowerStep XL: drops up to 3 inches lower than the standard PowerStep. Made for lifted trucks.
PowerStep Xtreme: two motors per side, built for snow, ice and mud.
PowerStep Smart Series: adds app control.

On a lifted truck? Power steps and drop steps are the two best ways to keep the first step within reach.

Step Types at a Glance

Step type Look Ground clearance Best for
Running boards Flat and wide Sits below the rockers Daily drivers and families

Getting the Right Fit

Cab length or wheel-to-wheel. Cab-length steps cover the doors. Wheel-to-wheel steps run to the rear wheel and add a step for reaching into the bed. Steps are made for your exact truck and cab, so we confirm the fit before ordering:

  • Regular cab
  • Extended cab: Ford SuperCab, GM Double Cab, Ram Quad Cab, Toyota Access Cab, Nissan King Cab
  • Crew cab: Ford SuperCrew, GM Crew Cab, Ram Crew Cab, Toyota Double Cab and CrewMax
  • Jeep and Bronco: 2-door or 4-door

Lifted and leveled trucks. The higher your truck sits, the farther the first step. Drop steps and AMP PowerStep XL put the step back where your foot expects it.

Materials and Finishes

  • Aluminum: won’t rust and is lighter, but dents more easily.
  • Stainless steel: strong corrosion resistance and a bright polished finish. It’s heavier.
  • Powder-coated steel: the strongest option. Keep the coating in good shape and it holds up for years.
  • Finishes: textured black, gloss black, matte black and polished.

Steps & Running Boards FAQs

Running boards or nerf bars: what’s the difference?
Running boards are wide and flat with tread along the full length. Nerf bars are tubular, with step pads at each door.

Are power steps worth it? Do they work in winter or mud?
They’re popular on lifted and tall trucks. Mud, dirt and road salt can make them noisy or sticky, so AMP recommends cleaning them now and then. The Xtreme model is built for snow, ice and mud.

Will you have to drill my truck?
Usually not. Most steps bolt to factory mounting points. A few applications need drilling, and we’ll tell you before we start.

Do running boards reduce ground clearance?
Fixed boards hang below the rockers and can catch off-road. Power steps tuck up out of the way.

Rock sliders or nerf bars for my Jeep or Bronco?
Sliders protect your rockers on the trail. Nerf bars and running boards are mainly steps.

Cab length or wheel-to-wheel?
Cab length covers the doors. Wheel-to-wheel adds a step near the bed.
