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

Ebay $170 shipped stepside bars. Lets see how long they last. Weather is not bad down here in South Texas so not too worried on that side.

Here are some links:

 

This one is of the seller whom I bought from. Currently the price is at $209 but he occasionally drops the price a bit.

Or you can order from this other one who carries the same ones at $190 all the time.

How do these feel as far as line up with the door. Just got the nfabs installed and love look but that is pointless when the function sucks. They need to be moved about 4 inches back to be used comfortably. So have now considered other look alikes sucks as rough country which look identical or iron cross plus which have same look but adjustable in there positioning. Leaning in that direction but haven't seen any reviews. Also considering magnum rt but same concern of line up with door. And finally the new gm off roads that come on all terrain x look great but costly. Please help with ur experience with any of the above.

So, I took the risk on the raptor board. They help complete the grandpa look that I am going for.

Initial quality - ok

Mounting - ok

Ingress - ok

Egress - rubber pad is a little too far forward for left heel to catch.

Completely agree on the Nfabs. They're okay for getting in the truck, but getting out, the positioning is too far forward. I hate to admit it, but the stock 6 inch steps I had at the beginning were much better in terms of function. Not only do the Nfabs not function all that well, I lost a lot of protection that my stock 6 inch steps provided from rocks and debris.

I don't have experience with any of the others however for me these have been working great going in and out of the truck. I go left foot on step grab the steering wheel and in I go with ease and no sliding on seat whatsoever. Wife is happy about them too and even my little 3 year old uses them in the rear with no issues; but I definitely recommend them. My wife would have probably pointed something out immediately if the in and out procedure was uncomfortable. The steps are great and as previously recommended by others some linex can re-inforce them and prevent rust issues.

Would u mind measuring from the back of the front wheel well to the center of the first step, give measurement, and then to the middle of the rear portion of the first step. I would like to compare with nfabs to see if they are further back. Thanks

I have to agree with you about the NFabs being more about form over function. The steps are just not very useful. If the flat step was more centered in the hoop in or out they would be more useful. Not to mention they are a snow and ice trap.

Anyone with nfabs hoping these would work better mine with crew cab measures about the same in front. 22 1/2 front but rear were 64 1/2 in the rear. Hoping someone with rough country version might chime in .

Thanks . Looks like they are all about the same. Got lucky with that request so anyone with the ironcross plus. They the same style but are somehow adjustable in position. Unfortunately I can't find any reviews on quality or videos to see how they adjust.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
