Retractable truck step???

Hey guys, I have an F350 Crew cab that I have just lifted and my wife is having a difficult time accassing the vehicle.It all ready has S.S. nerf bars but are of little help, has anyone installed such an item on thier truck? It will require approx 12" of drop to allow easy access. I have seen the Amp research offerings but they do not impress me. Thanks

Amp is the only company I am aware of still producing them. Your going to have a hard time finding anything that will go down that low.

I can understand your problem. You could have a custom one made that "folds" out. Best bet is to look at the commercial products.

The Amp Research steps are very nice. Been running them for over 2 yrs without any issues. Had them completely covered in mud, snow, ice, etc... and always have worked flawlessly. And rated at 600lbs per step they are the most heavy duty option.

They also, have come out with a 2" extension to lower the step even further for people who need them.

Feel free to drop me an email with any questions or for pricing.
