This SOB is tall now too and I'm short so I'd been on the lookout for some steps. AMPs aren't in the cars so I'd decided on N-fabs, I see them everywhere, they look pretty good and people online love them. Found a set for these trucks 2.5hrs away in northern Alabama, so me and the GF roadtripped over there one Saturday to get them.
Got the driver's side on using the holes in the rockers like you're supposed to and then drilled the additional holes. Tried it out and they seemed too far forward, so I elongated the holes and moved them back about 3/4". Still wasn't sure but there was no more I could do, they were as far back on the cab as they could go and still look right.
I also wasn't crazy about how they mount. It's just 6 very small carriage bolts through the rockers and then the post that pushes up into the floor pan when you step on them. I didn't really feel like they were solid.
I also kept stepping on the down bar as I got out, missing the step. So I'd stumble or fall. Still though, figured I'd just have to learn. After a week and a half with no change, I decided I hated them and sold them. Got my money back thankfully.
So I decided I'd be better off with the board style steps. I wanted something that would tuck up tight to the cab so I wouldn't lose any visual height like the N-fabs do. Found these, they had adjustable brackets and were on sale so I grabbed them
Brackets are pretty nifty. Although come to find out, they're listed as fitting 1500s but the instructions say 2500/3500. The HD trucks have different inner rockers that have provisions for J-clips to be inserted for steps that 1500s don't. Not a huge deal, just had to pick up a nutsert tool and some steel nutserts. Thank god for my bodylift, couldn't have done the install without it cuz the tool was too big to fit between the cab and frame. But I was able to go above it
