Assist Steps / Running Boards / Nerf Bars

XSKIER · February 24, 2017

Does anyone know anything about the raptor steps? They're about half the price of luverne, are they half as thick?

So I just found the ones I purchased back on Amazon. $159. Tyger Auto TG-RS2C40038 RISER is the title of them.

I ordered the Tyger Star Armor that I referenced and put them on today. Very heavy duty and the finish and fitment is great. 111 pounds shipping weight lol. I will get some pics up tomorrow.

My 16 came with the 4 inch round gm tube steps the bend in behind the front tire. After 8 months the paint is riddled with rock chips. I have mudflaps on and hardly ever leave the pavement. This is a poor design by gm. The 6 inch rectangular steps have a plastic end cap to absorb the impact. The 4 inch round ones have nothing but exposed paint. A waste of $600. The attached picture has a little dirt but most of the spots are paint chips

Appreciate it man. Paid 289 on eBay straight from Tyger. Pretty good deal I think. Edited February 25, 2017 by CWilliams

Did those attach by the body mounts or the rocker panels? They look nice. About how long was the total install time?

Each bracket mounts through the pinch weld and into the rocker panels, just like the oem steps. Took me about 1.5 hrs. to install. Definitely would have been faster with some help.

I had a piece of leftover plastic so I decided to make a couple pieces to go from the fenders to my steps to try to prevent rock chips in my doors and to keep the steps clean. I got the idea from these pieces made for Raptor steps.

I'm not sure yet if I like them, but it beats having mud flaps hanging down.

That looks pretty effective.

Couple more pics of different view with the ebay hooped bars. So far still working great and longer have people sliding off the seats and pinching off the leather.
