Worth the price!! Just got a 2020 Silverado! Found you while looking for mods on a Silverado!! Definitely watching your videos since it looks like you actually take the time to choose the right parts for your truck! Keep it up man!

I have so much respect for you man. Your videos are so detailed oriented, entertaining, dead on point, long but simple and informational. Excellent job. I got the same steps installed on my wife's truck, same as yours, and they are such a deal breaker for her. They are expensive but in my opinion, the price is fair if not right for the durability, finish, ergonomic design, product quantity, easy installation, the phenomenal look and the functionality is outstanding. By the way, I found easier for me to partially install the step bar on the brackets first and then the brackets or hinges to the frame of the truck, but I guess for you was easier but lifting the truck up, thing that I didn't do. Thank you so much for your videos.

Where do u put the jack after installing these? If someone accidentally places the lift under these steps, and lifts the vehicles up for service will it hold the body weight and still function normally?

These look awesome 👌 and as an added benefit I’ve been trying to wire up my antenna and power for my ham radio and didn’t know about that gromet under the driver floor mat. You just saved me so much frustration of fishing wires through the tiny firewall port. Looks like you just drilled out the plastic like cap they have in the existing hole. Thanks for the awesome videos keep them coming!

AWESOME! I have those exact same ones on my 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 (6.2L). They have been awesome. Everything you said about the installation is correct. I also installed them myself. The stock AT4 steps are heavy with a sharp/rough textured finish...and really didn't do anything except rip the skin off my legs (while in shorts) exiting the truck. These steps are pricey, but 100% worth every penny. Nice work

For my Father is very much older now and not as agile as he once was for getting up into my truck. Thanks for the video. I do like the fact that you are meticulous about everything looking as if it was put in from the factory. I pray the installer who does the work on my truck has that same mindset. I am disappointed that there is drilling involved in the installation. Crap! Aloha from Aloha, Oregon. Google it if you have never heard of it.

Man, great addition to the truck. They are gorgeous. I have fixed Step bars, (2017 Silverado SCA Apex Edition)... the only thing I like about the fixed bars? No door dings! The height of the truck places those bars in the perfect position so that other doors hit the bar instead of the truck. I have personally witnessed it on two separate occasions. And I snickered both times.

This is a great video, full of good advice. However, be aware that starting with the 2022 year models, GM trucks require an additional installation step to splice directly into the the truck's wiring. Amp's OBD II connector is also required, but two wires (in addition to the two purple) have been added to the wiring harness and connect up under the dash. It's not super complex but it is additional hassle and warranty impacts on the GM side are unknown.

I installed a set of these on my '21 GMC AT4. They're ok. So far they have been reliable, but my 2 biggest gripes are: 1. They don't tuck up neatly and closely underneath the truck. There is about a 1.5" gap between the steps and the bottom of the truck (when they are retracted). 2. They don't extend back to the bed. My wife and my daughter love them, but I'm not 100% sure I would buy them again.

Nice. My factory set worked about three months. here in this Texas blackland in constant mud in water they finally gave up. Dealer replaced them twice. Third time I took a saws all and cut them off right at the motor. Most of the time in the back would go down in the front wouldn’t because of the heavy mud. By the way your electric motors sound pretty loud. Although it may be just because you’re in your garage and it’s like an echo chamber. Maybe outside they’re not as noisy.

Yes they are a real ease of access to my Silverado. Good luck getting parts and getting them to return your e-mails. Customer service is the pitts. My auto lift retract circuit board went out. After several attempts to get a replacement or answer, i finally took a butter fly switch and wired it in. I'd much rather have it in auto mode, but for now , until i find a new board. i'll just do it manually.

@michaelreynolds7276 2 жыл бұрын

I had the same issue on my 19 Silverado z71. Called AMP and talked to an engineer. Unfortunately the instructions are wrong on where to place the rear step mount. If you used the farthest to the rear holes to mount the step mount, when retracted it will hit the body cab mount. They told me I needed to move the step arm to the next position forward which puts the rear step mount almost directly under the front of the rear door. I felt this looked terrible and made it look like the rear of the step was hanging out in space. Plus the extension arm step mount is right where most people in the rear would place their foot to get in. The solution is to grind the body mount ever so slightly until the extension arm no longer makes contact when retracted. It’s a PITA but worth it. Oh and FYI if you continue it to just drive it like that, the body mount will rub a triangle shaped gouge into the step mount. Hope this helps.
