Funny first side steps i have ver found to actually be useful. I have been stepping over every other design for years. The OEM w/ AT are much better than most as I used them 70% of the time before going with the AMP. Now I use the step every time even with giant snow boost on.

You can connect the handle w/o removing the door panel. All you need is a Torx 20 screwdriver and some 10lb or stronger fishing line. You can double up lighter line if it's all you have. Let me know if interested I can explain more or find the post that taught me.

Mine do this after a washing and it is cold outside. After a night in the heated garage it goes away.

I took mine off, 8 bolts attach to the vehicle on each side. They are incredibly solid and are made from stainless. I am referring to the ones that come with the AT package. If I didn't need additional clearance I would have left them on. They are way more solid than any tube designs that only mount front and back.... I compared side by side on 2014 trucks at a local customizer. Everyone there agreed. Attached is a picture of mine when I removed them. You can see the U mount slots on the bracket. They also have another that directly up into the rocker from the bottom.

They are just as advertised... perfect! I used the every time I get in and out. I can't say that about any previous step. Im only 6 ft tall but I have found myself with all previous truck and step combination skipping the step sometimes. This is truly convenient for me! The other thing that is unique is that they drop far enough that you can easily use them with winter boots. The big bulky kind you wear in -15F boots. I am so happy that I have almost forgotten about how expensive they are... even after getting an amazing deal!

Here is one of just the step lowered.

I took a couple pictures today. Way to cold to be out fishing today.

Took off the valance and put on some Amp Research side steps.

Got them installed, I couldn't be happier with the work. They are perfectly level across the truck. I am surprised how quiet they are too. All panels are secure and you'd never know the carnage they just went through! I am also happy to report that these actually sit nestled against the truck and are very protected. The install took a certified professional (whom was as anal as me) 5 1/2 hours of dedicated install time. He said the last years models took 3 hours for reference and he's done 2014's regular cab in 3 1/2 hours. It would be very unlikely to hit these when off roading with how they are tucked up. It is really hard to get pictures. It is -15 out so I had to take them in the garage. I'll take some better ones tomorrow at the station if we don't go fishing. For now these two will have to do.

I'd like to manually drop them for washing and drying etc.... If you use the manual override where you force it down while closing the door they cycle every time a door is open or closed. Its annoying and they get dirty and wet every cycle so you need them down for a while. I always wash my door jams and tend to open and close the door a bunch during a detail.

I took my OEM's off today. That was easy enough... I think I'll install these myself. I'm so picky I'll end up redoing it if i don't. I just can't decide if i'm going to install a up down switch. I am considering putting a three stop switch that will allow me to set them down, normal, or off. What a great deal! Thank you KRC!!!

+1 AMP Research. I thought I should throw this out there. The factory 6 inch provide a ton of protection against debris from your front tires. That is why they are full of snow and other road mess. I'll be watching this thread closely. I am going to sell my factory chrome steps because I want all black ones. I am worried about losing the protection from them so I am not positive I'll do the AMP yet.

Thanks! I'll take some of mine today too to compare.

That is great news! Maybe I just have a bad unit. Thanks for doing that... are you colors way off too or is that also just an indicator mine sucks. I was going to show the resolution in the adverts and demand it be just like the picture but that brought up shivering history of another rethread . Hopefully I can just see.

this is my biggest issue with my 2014. The camera compared to last years truck or any other vehicle I have seen is horrible! I love the overlay feature but the video resolution is sooooo bad! I can't barley see what I am doing back there.
