AMP Research RealTruck PowerStep Power Running Boards with LED Step Lights for RAM 1500/2500/3500 - Electric Powerstep & Retractable Truck Steps

It just doesn't get any better. I had OEM power steps on a Chevy Suburban, and they were just cool. When I upgraded to a diesel pickup, I ordered it without factory steps with these Power Steps in mind. They might seem a little spendy, but they're a truly OEM quality product, and you can tell that they're precision engineered to last. They're nearly silent, completely smooth; they are engineering perfection.Installation can take some time if you've never done one of these before. I do suggest downloading the owners manual from their web site while you're waiting for them to be shipped to you, and study for a day or two before tackling the installation. I even had the assistance of a neighbor that had installed a set on his Ford Superduty a couple of years prior, and it still took me most of a day.Installing them on my 2014 Ram 2500 Mega Cab was fairly straightforward with minimal drilling. The only drilling was for the rivets, and for the light wires to pass through the pinch welds. These are tiny holes, nothing crazy. The mechanical component of installation was easy, but the electrical installation on this newer Ram was a little tricky because you have to tap into wires under the dash. Be prepared to be sore the next day after contorting yourself under the dash a bit.Bottom line, you can't possibly ask for a finer product. Set aside plenty of time for installation, maybe even spread it out over a couple of days if you can. It will be worth the effort, they're just gorgeous.

Great steps, but pain in the A to hook up the electrical on a 2018 dodge 2500. Dodge puts the panel in the worst spot.

Once they are on, they are the best.Instuctions are pretty good.It was not an easy install on a 2018 Ram 2500, so be patient. Mechanically everything went as expected, including the final adjustment where you bounce on the running board a bit. I opted to use rivit nuts on the top mount instead of the plain rivits.The electrical turned out to be the most time consuming on my model truck, mine was all under the dash, yuck, start by taking out the front seat. Then there is a small 4"x4" panel to the left of center under-dash panel, that allows you to see that third top screw holding the module mount plate. Then unhook all the wiring connectors under the dash to get all slack you can.Locating the correct wires in that tight space is a challenge, especially the one that has two identical colored wires so its 50 50 chance you'll get it right. So don't stitch it up until you test it. Amp Research didnt build the truck so its not their fault its a bear to do.I recomend that you drill the led light panel wiring hole above center of the pinch welded area so the wires dont bind and pull off the led.My only improvement of the kit would be more two side tape covering the bottom of the led light. I used silicone chalk to additionally seal around the leds.

These running boards are awesome! The install took a little under 5 hour doing it by myself and taking care to measure twice before drilling anything. The whole setup is exceptionally well made with very good attention placed on all details. The instructions are clearly written and are easy to follow. There are a number of videos on you tube you can watch to see them installed as well. Fortunately, I read previous reviews on Amazon and it was pointed out the step to stand on the boards to seat them is a little unclear. Standing is not nearly enough as my boards jammed on the pinch welds. I popped them back out and then bounced up and down REALLY hard several times on each side. That did the trick and saved me a call. I was super lucky, as I already had the holes on my pinch welds on my 2014 RAM 2500 and they lined up perfectly.I really like the clean look of no tubes or boards on the truck. I had the tube style on my old Tundra and they just got filled with snow and ice. These should stay nice and clean. My wife loves them as it makes it easier to get in and out and they look soo cool when they deploy with the puddle lights.When I bought this truck, I knew my mom and 6 year old would have trouble getting in and out - not anymore. Another clever thing is that there is a delay on closing so you don't make them go in and out after loading the kid in the back.

4 star only because of not so easy to reach wiring harness on truck, not for product. went with this due to price, BIG mistake. instructions are easy to follow. had to disassemble under dash. on ram 2500 awesome product but, order plug and play. there's a lot of wiring harness underneath dash. had to remove side control module, next to parking brake, remove side panel to see top screw for control module. cant be seen from bottom. then you can have access to connector plugs in control module, disconnect plugs then separate wiring to find proper one to tap into. not easy one handed on your back, seat rail poking your back. didn't like tapping into such delicate wiring, wish had known better. after installed and once steps deploy for first time, forgot all about headaches. they look awesome. and are well made. I good old USA.
