Personal preference but I really hated the powersteps.
I always had to side step about a foot out just to get in.
When it was only me I had the steps turned off.
Then I just unplugged the Drivers side so the Passenger side only worked.
That was short lived, Passenger side only worked for a few days after that.
Tried to salvage the Drivers side hoped for a little extra cash by selling them,
Not so much Drivers side locked up. To the dump they go.

You must be really tall! I use mine everyday and I'm 5' 10". I like that I'd don't have to accelerate the wear on my seat sliding on and off.
Not sure of the brand Ford uses but the Amp brand seems to be a little more robust.
Liked the N-Fabs but Wife & Daughter had to hunt for the step to get out.
Also just didn't seem like a Harley Truck anymore.
Sold the N-Fab steps and bought the Ionic's.

She Needs a Lift
I always liked the look of the NFabs, but they just aren't as functional for those that need them. The solid steps like what you replaced them with are much better. I didn't care that my truck had the steps until I injured my leg last year. Then they were a life saver. Especially if you are going to add lift. I never really used my steps until I added lift to the truck.

I'm in total agreement with you on that. I like the steps for the ease of getting in (I'm 5' 11") and of course the woman needs them.
Most of all tho, my leather seat would be destroyed if I was always sliding off of it getting out. Even with a light breathable cover and the best conditioner, the side bolster is starting to show those white cracking lines slightly.
Good move. Personally would have purchased AMP steps as a replacement. At 6'2", I may not "need" them, but seats appreciate it. With a lift, the extra length closer to the ground is appreciated by the vertically challenged folks too.
Again, these are a more fitting style for the truck than the first replacements. Congrats.
