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

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

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.

This is all I have right now. I will take a few installed tomorrow.

Tires and wheels go on some time next week. I will clean it up and take some good pics.

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 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.

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.

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
