Lowest Deployed Step
PowerStep XL Running Boards drop 4" lower than the other PowerStep boards, making them perfect for lifted trucks or vehicles with higher ground clearance. Also, most stationary running boards rest 1-2 inches below the body and are often too far from the ground for many passengers.
Excellent Ground Clearance
The PowerStep XL Running Boards tuck into the rock rail when retracted, providing excellent ground clearance and light rocker panel protection while driving, and the functionality of a perfectly placed step when deployed.
Wide Step Surface
The board width is a massive 6 inches and perfect for any type of footwear.
Integrated LED Lighting
All PowerSteps Include two pair of LED lights to illuminate the running board and ground below to maximize safety when entering and exiting your vehicle. The lighting will activate when the steps deploy and will shut off when the steps are retracted!

From the brackets to the boards, each PowerStep XL Running Board features a 600 LB load capacity - that is twice the weight capacity as most other steps!

AMP Research is the leading provider of power-retractable running boards, making waves with its best-selling Power Steps. While providing sufficient assistance for most individuals, AMP Research has recently developed a beefier, lower-hanging iteration of its Power Step: introducing the Power Step XL from AMP Research!
These heavy-duty power steps retain the same overall design as AMP's conventional retractable running boards; however, the company has retrofitted a few improvements geared toward oversized and heavily lifted applications. To begin, the Power Step XL is AMP's lowest-hanging step yet, with the retractable running board dropping an additional 4 inches lower than the standard model! The surface is also 6 inches wide, making for a secure and stable step up into the cab.
Like the standard Power Steps, the Power Step XL is manufactured entirely from durable die-cast aluminum, ensuring maximum strength and minimum weight. All aluminum components are anodized and coated with a military-grade PTFE (Teflon), preventing surface corrosion. Due to the Power Step XL's rugged alloy construction, these steps can withstand a whopping 600 pounds, far heavier than most retractable and stationary running boards!
For added convenience, these steps feature bright LED chips integrated into the central rail, casting a vibrant glow onto the step surface and surrounding area to ensure sure-footed entry, no matter the time of day.
For the ultimate blend of styling and convenience for your lifted pickup, check out the AMP Research Power Step XL.

Order Notes
Cleaning your PowerStep
In adverse conditions, debris such as mud, dirt, and salt may become trapped in the running board mechanism, possibly leading to unwanted noise, or binding.
Prepare for cleaning
Manually set the running boards to deploy: The running boards can be manually set in the deployed position by opening the door, and then place your foot on the step. Leave firm pressure with your foot on the step while you close the door. This will leave your steps in the deployed position.
How to maintain your steps:
Using a pressure washer to clean the front and rear linkages which are all 4 hinge points for your PowerSteps. Avoid spraying the motors directly.
After washing, apply silicone spray (dry Film lubricant) only, to all 4 linkage arms and all pivot pins, some of these pins will be located up high on the linkage arm as well. Then cycle the door to work the lubrication in to the hinge points.
Do not apply silicone, wax, or protectants like Armor All® to the running board. Do not lubricate with any greases, oils, WD-40, or penetrants.
This cleaning should be done periodically, or when debris such as mud, dirt or salt becomes trapped in the running board mechanism.
