    Power running boards

    Power running boards

    I own a 2018 RAM 2500 and Mopar did not offer steps, had to go with the AMP steps. Like the way they work, they are much lower to the ground then the wheel to wheel factory which were 18 inches off the ground, the AMP are only 13 inches off the ground to the top of the step.
