Nice! I didn't know they made them for the reg. cab. Gonna have to look into this.

ill def get some photos of the mounting points to post here. Amp does not make a specific kit for reg cabs...and i really couldnt find much info online for reg cab installs......
I saw a few posts online here or there but not much details on RC install
i ended up rolling the dice a bit and purchased the amp kit 76154-01A which is the plug N Play kit for the GM Crew Cabs. Everything installed just fine, electrical/plug n play was easy. The passenger side mounted right up, nothing in the way
but on the driver side, I had to put the linkage with the motor towards the front and then the back linkage area I had to trim a few spots (which I was a little hesitant at first) but ended up being ok.

I wanted to mount the linkages as wide as possible so I could extend the step a bit towards the bed and be able to use the step to reach into the bed if needed.

I then trimmed the boards down to 65 inches (amp has a youtube vid on trimming the boards)
so just took my time with that part.

ill post more pics soon

Nice job on the install. I'd be interested to see the photos. Can you also post a pic of the steps tucked in?

Love it man, super low profile. I've been debating taking my current steps off for a cleaner look but I don't want to lose the functionality. Glad I have another option now.

    • This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com. 
    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
