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.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
