I went to a Chevy lot and measured the stock step distance, the step, and then used 18.25" as my value to compare against my other measurements. All because of being unsure of my choice. If you are 15.25 then that's great, perfect actually.
Thanks a bunch you have helped make my choice.
This helps a lot. If my logic is correct (please correct if wrong) with the step actually being ~3" thick your actual step is 21.25 total vs the amp step which is actually about the same distance from the ground as a stock step at stock height it just gives the illusion its lower because its ~.75-1" thick vs 3". So this means I should be at 18.25 to the ground or ~19.25 of total step up.
Ride height of 6" lift is appealing for me, but for someone else with shorter legs its not so great.
Curious to know if anyone with a BDS lift or zone lift that also has amp power steps installed what the new height the step is at with lift installed. I run a RC 2" level the steps are ~10" when the step is out. I'd like it higher up or more off the ground.
Anyone have comparisons of a zone 4.5" and BDS 4/6" lifts side by side? Some pics look deceiving as far as how high actually truck sits. I'm 50-50 on going with a zone 4.5" or bds 6" i can't decide
