Anyone with Amp Research Running Boards?

Hey all,

Even though my Tundra is lowered, my youngest daughter still has a hell of a time getting into the truck. I'm thinking of picking up some Amp boards, but am concerned that they will extend too low.

I have spent the better part of the last two hours searching, and cannot find out just how far they extend downward. I have seen everything from 10-14.5, but I cant tell if thats being measured as an angle or straight down. Does anyone know how low they extend vertically to the bottom of the step?

 

For potential future searchers, the Bestop boards go down 6", and out 2" (with a 6.25" platform for a total of 8.25") from the pinch seam.

I still cannot find the specs for the Amp boards

 

hope this helps. And FYI, I think I saw "extenders" for those who have crazy lifts and want the step to retract further down

 

Thank you!!!

So, it looks like those go down about 6-7" from the bottom of the door?

Edit: Love teh badge mod

 

Any chance you can snap a pic from further out with them up and down? I have a silver limited and am seriously considering these steps.

 

Here is up on mine.

 

I love mine. It helps grandma and my daughter go in and out with ease. The height difference where you actually step onto is about 11 inches, a huge decrease in entry height.

 

Absolutely love mine. Made a world of difference for the wife getting in and out.

 

Thanks for the pics!

 

I want these.

 

Trust me, you won't be disappointed. I love mine too!!! What really attracted me to the AMP boards is that they tuck away when not in use. Less chance of getting damaged while off road.

 

How is the install on those?

 

Taking my time, with my buddy, and some whiskey, three hours. Most of that time was spent finding the stupid wire to tap into.

Thanks. I can R&R transmissions, t-cases, diffs, axles and suspension parts, but I suck at wiring, which is why I asked.

 

Had these running boards for 4 years now. No issues other than having to replace a few of the lights.

 

AMP tucked in for clean look.

 

Any go to place to purchase these??

 

The best i have found is Real Truck

 

If you are on one of the 'other' tundra talk forums, the best place is to PM SVCustoms with a quote request. The best price you will find anywhere, and its not even close!

 

looks awesome, i like it being debadged. considering the same

 

Here’s the look on a White Tunny. They’re expensive but worth it, like all others have said. I think your whole family will benefit if you go this direction:

 

I have the amp research boards and i love them. Makes it so easy to get in and out of truck, especially with kids

 

Can they take some dragging or hits? I know they’re not rock sliders…

 

No, not a good idea to bump or drag

 

My wife is a huge fans of these .I call them princess boards there great! I installed them my self figured 2-3 hrs more like 4 hrs by myself.
FYI... there kinda of noisy maybe even clunky but hey that’s the charm of them and they sure turn heads when in use.

 

Love my Amp Power Steps, OBDII version.
First mod I did, and one of main mods I wanted on my dream truck.

Yes, they do make noise, but I consider that a safety feature.
I know when they go up, and when they go down, and I find it to be a somewhat pleasant sound

I have had a bad driver's side driver step light since like day 2, but I have not spent any time trying to figure out what is wrong other than smacking the light itself and the module I put under the hood with my hand.
Been living with it being out for over a year now lol.

Sometimes I just open and close my doors to watch them go up and down.

Makes me feel like I own a transformer
