AMP Steps Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Power Step for Your Truck

Introduction

Whether you have a factory lift on your Jeep, truck, or SUV, or you’ve added an RBP lift kit, the chances are excellent that you’ll get sick of climbing up in your new ride. And maybe you had tubular side steps, but they began to mess with your ground clearance. So, if your family is complaining about the height of your truck, but you want ground clearance, AMP Research is here to rescue you. AMP Research Power Steps can provide up to a 15-inch extension for an easy step into your ride, and they won’t take away your massive ground clearance. When the doors are closed, AMP Power Steps quickly tuck themselves into a concealed pocket for a custom look.

Horst Leitner's Innovation

Horst Leitner, AMP Power Step inventor, and designer, says, “I kept hearing people complain about their running boards being awkward to use. So, we did some ergonomic research and studied people of various heights, weights, and ages to come up with the perfect height and extension for a running board. Our research said that most truck and SUV step boards are mounted too high and too close to the vehicle to provide a natural step.”

And they work. Constructed from durable, strong aluminum, the AMP Power Step offers a broad, flat stepping surface, making it easy for passengers to enter and exit your rig. AMP truck steps extend to give you a secure and natural platform, and they can hold up to 600 lbs. In addition, they feature a high-tech, integrated LED light system that illuminates the step, and you can rest assured that they’re built to withstand your most demanding outdoor adventures.

Installation Made Easy

Installation is also a breeze. AMP Power Step Running Boards feature an optional “Plug-and-Play” system that decreases installation time drastically with no door panel removal or splicing of factory wires required.
