Another, what do you guys think?

Those look really good! I was thinking about the same ones with the chrome strip, but after seeing yours, I don't think I would want the chrome.

I recently bought a white 2014 sierra crew cab with a black low profile tool box. I was thinking about getting the black 6 inch oval assist steps to match the tool box, but i want to see what the black steps look like on the white.

Does anyone have a photo of a white sierra with the black steps instead if the chrome?

Anyone has any tips on installing the AMP steps? the Plug & Play one, they should be here by the end of the week.

Tips on what tool to have, what to do before for any sort of preps etc.

I already have the firewall grommet punctured for other wires, there is still space for the 2 leads AMPs will use, I have also removed my OEM running boards, anything I need to keep from them? bolts and the U nuts at all?

I've never had running boards before, but my wife is 9 months pregnant and I'm thinking about getting a set so its easier for her (and the kid eventually) to climb in. My apologies if this was covered somewhere, but can someone break down the differences in materials? I would worry that aluminum would not hold up, the black running boards might scratch or chip... Am I off base? Any input or help would be appreciated.

Your concerns are exactly why we went with stainless steel ...and, they still look like new!

Yes they do. Much lower and in a much nicer spot for stepping

The new Amp Reseach PowerStep XL steps have an additional 3-inch drop over the original PowerStep.

Anyone with the AMP step live in a harsh winter area? By harsh im talking long winter and or heavy snow areas (Dakotas, Minnesota, Montana, Maine, etc

I want to get them eventually but wont even waste my time if they are going to freeze up or not work in cold weather. 20 degrees or colder outside, driving on a wet road from melted snow for say 30 minutes or so, then get out and they don't open. Truck sits for a few hours and its frozen in the close position

I have a CC standard bed I would like steps to go back to the rear tires. So I can reach into the bed. My last trucks tires did that and I miss it.

I have the N-fabs bed access steps so they have the 3rd step for the bed. The steps are very sturdy and they don't cost too much. I had a set of Weston wheel to wheel steps which also have a 3rd step, but they were just 3" round tube and didn't feel as sturdy. I've banged the steps on a curb a couple times and all it did was scratch the powdercoat, didn't dent at all which the Weston tube steps would have.

I wonder if these would be to low for a truck that is at stock ride height.

I would say these would be for lifted trucks. The standard PowerSteps are just the right height for stock ride height. My wife and mother are both "vertically challenged" and the regular PowerSteps are just right - my truck is stock ride height.

The regular boards are perfect IMO and several family members' opinion for one of these trucks with a 6" lift. My mom and sister are both vertically challenged. I think a powerstep XL dropping 3" lower than the standard boards would be too low to really be helpful
