Nope, his drop and lower just like the AMP steps do, straight up and down, no backward movement.

 

I did notice one other thing about the OEM steps, they are longer than the AMP steps.  The OEM steps start behind the front splash guard and end almost right at the back of the cab, the AMPs are a few inches shorter.

Thanks for the info. Too bad, though.  Those steps on the 1500 in the video are sweet.

Good looking truck. Congrats!

Thanks. And she’s tucked away from the elements. It has been one crazy season this year. ?

Moving up in size. Traded in the 2019 GMC 1500 Denali for a new 2020 Chevy 2500HD High County a couple weeks ago. Couldn't pass up on the deals they are giving right now and what they're allowing on trades. Best move getting back into a HD.

New Truck:

Window tint done first day. Waiting on Cognito 3" Performance Level and 35" Toyo MTs.(plans to do more after the winter months but I have a feeling that won't last long)

I just did the Cognito Premier leveling kit, it rides great. Just bite the bullet and do 37's like I did!  haha

Trust me it’s been on my brain if I’m making the right choice only going with the 35” tires. The only reason I’m leery of pulling the trigger for the 37” tires is I don’t want a but load of trimming that you’re always chasing since I was doing that on my 2019. How much rubbing/trimming on your setup?

Trimmed the liner and the mud flap and no more rubbing. The biggest thing on running the 37's with my stock wheels and the Cognito control arms was needing a spacer. I used a 1" spacer in order for the inside of the tire to clear the control arms.

Interesting. That’s not as bad as I would have thought for trimming. I’m getting everything installed on Thursday and I’m already thinking I’ll be disappointed. Might have to make a call today to see if they can get 37” tires in before then.

 

What brand spacers are you running on the front?

I went with a company called Venum, it's a 1" hubcentric spacer.  i looked at Bora spacers because i've heard of them for years, but they didn't have anything smaller than 1.5" and I knew I didn't need near that much to clear the control arms.

 

here is how i trimmed it

Looks good! You worried about the paint holding up on the textured pieces?

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?
    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
