Dual Step Retractable Running Boards
 

I've been looking for some retractable running boards. I've came across the obvious Power Amp step which would work on a normal lifted truck, however, I picked up a new rig which is running about 36 inches of lift... I can get in the truck, but it's more for other people to get in. I can't have a crew cab where only one person can ride in the truck :D

I'm just wondering what is avaliable. The one thing that have come close to what I am looking for is built by One Up Offroad One Up Offroad

Thanks in advance! :-X0A6

Oh, I did a search and only one thread came up... it was a poll to see who liked the look of running boards.

36 inches of lift? That's a typo, right?

No, you read it correct. :-jammin

PICS!!!

You might have to go custom...

I don't have a lift, but i am a constant tinkerer... so I have been toying around with trying to create my own hide-away steps using a pneumatic cylinder running off of an onboard air system (already installed).

My sticking point is that 4-way solenoid valves are seriously expensive.

You will have to go custom for sure. The amp makes an extension kit for lifted trucks, but its only 2-3'' extension. Sounds like you need a rope ladder that drops out of your cab when you open the door...you know....like a tree house lol

Nice product! I was thinking of getting this when I go balls to the wall with my truck.
Off topic, did anybody else catch the song in the video? Maybe I am missing something, but did he say he had 10-4 gears? Shouldn''t that be 4.10 gears? Facepalm.

I came across this thing, but it looks like it will get in the way of my four link set-up Buyers Retractable 3-Rung Truck Step — Model# RS3 | Steps | Northern Tool + Equipment

Here is a picture of the truck in question:

I have no idea what video your talking about but im gonna assume your talking about the old country song? its "10 forward gears and a georgie overdrive" (dont know if I spelled that right or not) but you get the point!


Edit: seen the video, yes read above.

Holy crap, no wonder people are having problems getting in that thing. :)

Kan I haz???? :9:-X20:9:-X20:9:-X20:9

Ah, makes more sense now, thanks.

HAHA I must admit when I was young I thought the same thing until my dad set me straight :-drink



As for the OP's truck, I dont think I could get my fat butt in that without a step ladder. People wont ride in my truck (mainly women) cuz they say its too tall with only 8'' of lift and 36's lol

dang... this might work...

Werner Co. Universal 10 Ft. Telescoping Access Ladder, 250 lbs load capacity - AA10 at The Home Depot

seriously though, the trailor hitch still looks to be a wee bit high.

nice truck, i would LOVE to take it for a spin. :-jammin

Nice :D An attic ladder...

The height is adjustable to a point, the coilovers can still be raised another 10" or so, but I wouldn't want to put that kind of stress on the driveline(s). It also has airbags on all four corners to soften the ride a bit, this can also be used to lower the truck a little more.
