Boost Auto - Retractable Bumper Step Kit

fondupot · January 13

So getting older, hopping up in the bed of my 2024 is a little harder on my knees. While the bumper steps help tremendously in that aspect, I still thought I needed something else.

Cue, Boost Auto and their retractable bumper step kit. Man, it makes it so much easier to get up into the bed now. Knee saver for sure. Its a nice solid unit that retracts nicely up to the bumper, and doesn't look too out of place. When lowered it gives you a foothold about halfway down between the OEM bumper step and the ground. The step pad is customizable a bit for your liking, with different pad designs and colors.

Check out my full install video below.

I think it would be OK. Boost Auto is based out of the Chicago Suburbs, plenty of winter weather there. They do pretty rigorous testing and engineering on their products.

I just had their Lumastep M2 installed on my truck. Dont care for the way the guy wired up my engine bay at all Id play hell trying to decipher through it to fix it. The boards seem fine so far. The only thing I dont care for is the fact that the rear of the cab has a curve inward so the boards stick out on the backside.

Byrds,

Do you have pics?

This is from directly above. there are no adjustments on the brackets. The boards were all the way to the rear originally so I moved them more to the middle to try to take some of it out but it didnt help much.

This is what it looks like from the side.

That don't look right. I'd get a hold of Lumastep and see what's wrong.

I like the steps though.

I had the M2's installed on my 2022 1500 and it looked about the same, just the way the cab curves.

I have a set of M2's coming from Boost Auto for my 2500. I'll see how they look on there.

I did get in touch with BA. They said due to the curvature of the cab, it's the way it's supposed to look. They did say if I slide the boards all the way forward it would take of it out. I just cant have them sitting all the way like that. Would drive me nuts looking off centered.

Let me know how it turns out.
