I installed Amp Research Power Steps on my GMT900 recently and will never own another truck without them.

Looks good to me. I have to believe there's an adjustment of the retracted position stops.

This pic confirms my suspicion that the gap exist on all AMP steps and it's not just mine! This is very upsetting! Look at the back cab, the step is flush, then look at the front fender side it has a 1" gap. Minimal I know but on white it stands out bad compared to your dark colored truck

I guess I'm not seeing what you're seeing. I don't see the 1" gap you're talking about.

^^ Ok, I see it now. Hard to see on dark vehicle.

Here it is on mine.....I hardly notice it, but I do agree it is a little off. Not a deal breaker for me though! These things are awesome.

If you keep looking at these trucks you'll see other imperfections. Some door gaps are uneven etc.

 

I told my dealer to order the AMP steps today.

Did you get any cheaper price as to order on your own?

Yours looks dead on to me, wonder if I can tweak on these to get them tucked equally

What I did was loosen all the bolts, tighten the bolts to the boards first, extend and retract the boards a couple of times to get them square to the body, then retighten the body mount bolts. This made them work "smother" and might of helped with the alignment to the body.

tried the tip from cansled, didn't work, called AMP and talked to a tech for 30 minutes, didn't work...beyond frustrated with spending $1000+ on steps that look like garbage, just feel defeated

And the driver side constantly rubs the parking brake line bracket

Im having mine installed by my Snugtop dealer. He's a meticulous guy with great customer service. I'll look for this condition and talk to him about it up front. I won't accept an install that's crooked like that last pic.

Cool man I appreciate any feedback he might be able to give...I'm highly experienced and have done several sets of AMPs, but I'm about ready to rip these off, literally, and mail them back in pieces to AMP...

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
