Not hard at all, they bolt into pre existing holes underneath. I installed them by myself in about an hour. I still love them! For the price, they can't be beat!

So no drilling extra holes etc? It's a literal bolt on? Im not super handy with truck stuff, so im hoping itll be an easy project

 

Did you need to lift the truck to install? (tire jack,etc?)

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

He's correct, no drilling at all. Literally 0 drilling. Don't even have to jack up the truck to install. There are 3 nuts that are welded to the body (i think thats what it is?) that are already threaded. you sit the bracket over the threaded holes, and you screw in the included bolts.

The frame holes in my 2016 Sierra 1500 weren't threaded. I had to put the included nut-clips through the holes, and used nuts and bolts for the bracket end on the lip. It was still a pretty easy install.

I ordered the DeeZee NXT boards last night to replace my 4" chrome GM steps. DeeZee has a 10% mail-in rebate on all their parts thru today. I went with the crew cab length boards for my double cab after seeing in pics that the double cab length boards fall a few inches short of the back of the cab. The longer boards will also help prevent some rock chips on the lower bed sides.

Same here, I don't really like the 4" GM OEM flat top round chrome steps. I like something wider to stand on like those 6" NXT. I'm just wondering what to do with the GM OEM boards, would they sell at a reasonable price?

Got mine from the dealer for free. My wife wanted them on the truck and argued with the sales manager till they gave in. :) They installed the 6" chrome version. I like them but have been thinking of spraying them black since I got my wheels/tires.

Got my DeeZee NXT boards on. The crew cag length boards (86") are perfect for a double cab. Their ext/double cab boards are only 73". They are fully adjustable front-back and 1" in-out. I have them set all the way out and they stick out the exact same distance as the factory steps. I'll get some better daylight pics later.

Hoosier,

 

What was your total cost? I went to their site and mounting hardware is additional but I couldn't find that cost without going thru checkout. I assume you (we) only have three mounting brackets on our double cabs?

      The "source" a woman, that writes the article is not a far right person. She's pretty well known "car person". She writes her own stuff, but yes it is initially posted under the Blaze, because they purchased the right to post it first, before it is posted on her own sites. It doesn't mean the info is any less valid. the article itself is not political It's not meant to discount any current actions in the Iran   Only posted the link because that's what has to be done to be legal to post the article. The Blaze is not a site I use. Lauren Fix's page pointed me there and I have to use a bypass method to look at the article since I'm not about to join the site. I've posted articles over the years from the Lefty sites, seems you didn't have a problem with that.   But you do you, keep looking at everything only through left/right lenses.   The 3 or 4 of you that participate in the some of the comments had ample chance to read everything. Other members that don't care for it, send in comments, because as they will point out, political talk is discouraged. Both "sides" complain

      Disable AFM for $0: The M5 Method for 6-Speed Trucks

      Would be cool if someone made something most people would like.   Like a plug in tune that is to the end users desire minus messing with the throttle petal factory settings. Sport, economy and WFOT.

      I don’t. The source is a far-right fake news site perpetuated by Glenn Beck. Funny how you clean up political posts and then regurgitate garbage from politically tainted sites.

      Not a distraction. You miss the point of the article. It's not just for today's situation. Another way AI is being used and it may explain some of the prices changes when there is no apparent event to cause a 25 cent jump out of nowhere, only to immediately, the next day, begin to drop by 2 cents and so on. These situations were happening before the Iran thing fired off.   I used to be in the retail gas/service business. Pretty much a $1 increase in WTI would increase my price by maybe .10 cents. Now WTI can go down and retailers can get hit with a .35 cent increase out of nowhere.   I thought it was interesting read, since this is being used on all products we buy now
