If you have a lifted truck or your family struggles to get in, running boards or side steps are a must. At American Fusion Wheels, we install every type — from budget nerf bars to power-retractable steps.
Types of Running Boards & Steps
Nerf Bars — Budget Choice ($200-$400)
Round tubular bars, usually 3" or 4" diameter. Basic stepping surface. Brands: Westin, Barricade, Aries. Good for stock-height trucks.
Running Boards — Most Popular ($300-$700)
Flat, wide stepping surface. Easier to use than nerf bars. OEM-style look. Brands: Go Rhino, Westin Sure-Grip, Lund.
Drop Steps — Best for Lifted Trucks ($350-$600)
Hoop-style with a dropped step pad. Sits lower than the rocker panel for easier access on lifted trucks. Brands: N-Fab, Westin HDX Drop, Iron Cross.
Power Steps — Premium ($1,200-$2,000)
Automatically deploy when you open the door, retract when you close it. The ultimate upgrade for lifted trucks and SUVs. AMP Research PowerStep is the industry leader — we are an authorized installer.
Our Recommendation by Vehicle
