Why not use power steps. Hidden when closed. Nice step when open. I'm on my 3rd truck with them.

What's your experience with side steps?

None really. Not a fan of stuff hanging down to increase wind drag and catch on things when I'm getting to camping spots.

Will tell my wife loves the power steps as it makes it easy for her to get in.

I hate all the options because I dont like sacrificing clearance.

This is the one i like. Steps are adjustable and the rock rails Provides protection.

Agreed. These are great. And the quality is excellent. I would 100% buy these for a rig I wheeled often.

I do like the low profile of the n-fab, could do with solid step sides instead of the skeleton look though. Thanks!

Wilderness Collective put a set of n-fabs on the F250 they brought to SEMA. One of the few functional pickup builds at the show.

Man if I ditch my amps I could go this route. I’m waiting for the day I smash my amps

I'm using the $180 Amazon Tyger "step" things for now on my 18 2500. Works well enough for the girlfriend and keeps the back of our legs clean through winter... Been contemplating the AMP boards because they drop lower for the older folks.

Well, your gonna smash those long before you smash your amps.
I watched the video. I thought they were rock sliders with a step that attached. Don’t think so lol. So far my amps have not been hit. But I’m getting braver and braver every time I go out
