Electric Running Boards/Steps?

[SLO C5]

Do they makes these for 73-91 C/K/Burbs etc....?

I saw a set on Xtreme 4x4 the other day that was pretty cool and tucked up and under perfectly.

 

[Avery4jc]

Yeah they are pretty sweet...a bit $$$ but if you have a lot of lift and don't want stuff hanging down while wheelin' they're perfect...

I've looked before and I don't think they make them spcifically for our trucks but I'm sure you could get some for like a NBS extended cab and modify them to fit... they just bolt to the frame rails...

 

[SLO C5]

I did a little more searching and yeah, they are $$$$$. Well over $1000. But damn, with a 10" lift and 39" swampers(the burb I'm looking at) I'm gonna need a running start to get in that bitch.

 

[Avery4jc]

I'm @ about 9" and 38.5's and its sort of a pain but only depending on the situation...being that you're in SLO I figure you'll encounter the same problems...

If I have space to open the door I'm fine but if you're crammed in-between two cars at the mall or something then it makes getting in w/o hitting your door on the car next to you quite a challenge...

I run some small drop steps bolted to the body and they've served me well for almost two years now...

They don't make them for are trucks. But they are easy to modify to fit. I sell them all day to guys that put them on everything.

Can't remember the name of the brand, but I found there site one night. I know a guy who has them on his 07 K3500 dually and they are nice.

What do you normally sell them to modify for an older truck like ours? For a Standard Cab/ Crew Cab/ Suburban/ Blazer?

Amp Research http://www.amp-research.com/ They are sweet & after I lift my Crew I would like to have a set, But I am not willing to pay that kind of coin.

 

[Mudstud]

Boz, you ain't liften the crew, don't play.

 

[boz42]

Boz, you ain't liften the crew, don't play.

At some point, Yes. Soon, no. As of now I got a long list of things to do before that, including but not limited too building a house. Even when I lift it I will not be going very high w/ it, It will still be my tow rig. Prolly do a 2-4". I know Wes said you can get 1-ton rated springs in a 2", so I'll prolly go that route.


Sorry fo the high-jack.

im gonna get them eventually... wife wants a step...
I plan on also mounting them back some as they stick out a bit.. so mount them flush to the rocker...

 

[SLO C5]

The ones from Kodiak can be had for $750 for a set of 4 with all wiring and switches. Almost 2x the Rhino, but I think worth it. The ones from other places are around $1200. Crazy.

 

[Avery4jc]

You know I guess I'm crazy but I really don't think $1000-$1200 is a terrible investment for some of the lifted trucks that are daily drivers...think about it this way...

Guys will slap a $1500 winch on the front of a dd/street truck that never gets used...and if it does its only once in a blue moon. Instead if you invest $1200 in a nice set of steps you'll use them every single time you drive the truck...couple times a day! So yeah $1200 is a lot of money but you'd definately use them...

They'd look at the first 100 feet of AZ trail , and jump off and hide in the bed
