Side Entry Steps and Power Steps

Side Steps and Power Steps

If you’ve got a truck that has high ground clearance, you know how handy it is to have a running board or side step to make entry and exit a little easier. You also know that sometimes you don’t really want that running board or side step exposed – it’s an extra add-on to your truck’s profile and adds aerodynamic drag.

That’s where side steps and power steps can be a real boon.

At the Top Shop, we carry the AMP Research PowerStep™, an ingenious system that extends when you open the door and retracts again when the door closes. It’s a stable and sturdy way to get into or out of your truck…and it then tucks away out of sight to streamline the vehicle without sacrificing any ground clearance. The AMP Research PowerStep carries a 5-year, 60,000-mile warranty – that’s how confident they are of its performance.

AMP also offers the BedStep, an ingenious way to get a leg up when you need to get into or out of your truck bed, regardless of what you might be hauling. The BedStep mounts at the end of the bumper, at the corner of your truck bed, giving you plenty of clearance if you’re towing a trailer.

BedStep 2 mounts behind the cab, just forward of the rear wheel well. Also manufactured by AMP Research, BedStep 2 gives you fast and easy access to the toolbox or any cargo in the bed. BedStep 2 is a frame mounted system that retracts or extends with a nudge of your foot and is backed by a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.

Power Running Boards

Especially if you’re driving a quad cab style pickup, you might want more than just a simple step for entry and exit. At The Top Shop, we also carry SSR Stainless Steel Running Boards, made from super-bright, polished 304 stainless steel. SSR Running Boards feature a 7” wide step area and non-slip surface; they mount easily with power coated brackets that don’t even require drilling on most models, simply bolting to factory mounts. These ingenious running boards feature end caps that double as mud guards; with a 400 lb weight capacity and a limited lifetime warranty, they’re tough enough that you can depend on them for the lifetime of your truck.
