HI, and thanks in advance. I am trying to determine the difference between where the factory steps height vs the AMP power step. I spoke to AMP today and they said the steps drop 13" from the bottom of the door sill. I went out and measure, and that seems very low putting the steps only a couple inches above the ground. It's quite possible I misunderstood what he said, but maybe someone here can provide a little feedback.

2017 Supercrew 4x2, stock height, factory running boards. May level the front at some point, but I tow so undecided. How far down and out to the step extend to? Not sure where to best measure...from the top of the door sill, maybe the bottom of the frame. I'd appreciate any feedback you might have. I am attempting to make entry/exit a bit easier for my vertically challenged wife.

 

What AMP said is correct. They will be very close to the ground. If you measure from the bottom of the pinch weld down, that should get you in the ballpark of where they will sit. As far as how far out they will go is just gonna be a guess until I do another set, but if you open the door and but your tape measure up to the outside of the doorsill I would measure out about 6 inches and that should give you a good idea. The next set I do I will double check, but I think our suppliers are starting to have problems getting them so it may be a while.

 

As luck would have it I'm installing some today so I will grab some measurements and let you know.

 

Thank you very much for your reply. I look forward to hearing more after you do the install. This is super helpful.

You're welcome. Here's what I found. From the top of the step to the top of the door sill is right about 13 inches. However, the board is 1.5 inches tall so your total measurement would be about 14.5 inches from the top of the door sill down. Also, measuring outward from about the 8.5 inch mark on my tape measure in the above pic, you have about 5 inches to the edge of the board from the body. The top picture is pulling from the pinch weld under the door outward giving you about 9 inches to the edge of the board. Hope this helps.

 

Very helpful information, thank you! This is exactly what I was hoping to find with this ask. The description and pictures are awesome. Cheers!

 

Looks like you've got the best info already, but i wanted to add in general, that it will drop the height of the deployed step from factory fixed, as well as putting them out further than factory fixed.

 

My opinion, the factory power boards are almost useless, not sure of the actual inches they drop down but my guess would be about half of the Amp boards. Also like how the Amp boards are almost out of sight when retracted.
