Description:
This running board and side-step system features coated aluminum construction for long-term corrosion resistance and dependable strength. The modular three-piece design includes dedicated driver, passenger, and sliding-door steps, each built around a 1.75" aluminum tube and a wide footbed with a ribbed surface to provide a stable, slip-resistant platform. Each bracket is equipped with bendable tabs that adapt to irregularities in the Sprinter’s undercoating, allowing for a consistent, secure fit across all mounting locations.
Installation is simple and does not require specialized tools. The lightweight coated-aluminum construction makes the components easy to position and handle, enabling a hassle-free setup for both DIY users and professionals.
FAQ:
1. Which Sprinter models, wheelbases, and years are these drop-down running boards compatible with?
They are compatible with all 2007+ 144" and 170" Sprinter models.
2. How do the running boards mount to the Sprinter chassis, and is any drilling or underbody preparation required?
The boards mount to brackets fixed to the lower side panel and inner side panel. Light drilling is required on the inner panel only. No underbody modification is needed.
3. Can one person install these running boards, what tools are needed, and how long does the installation typically take?
Installation can be completed by a single person. A drill and basic hand tools are required, and the typical installation time is approximately 2 hours.
4. How much ground clearance does the running board reduce once installed?
Ground clearance is reduced by approximately 6–8 inches (15–20 cm).
5. Will the running boards interfere with the sliding door when fully opened or closed?
No. They do not interfere with sliding-door operation.
6. What is the weight capacity of the running boards, and how do they hold up to daily use?
The running boards have a weight capacity of approximately 400 lbs and are suitable for daily use.
Regular inspections and hardware checks are critical to keeping your running boards safe and reliable over the long term. After installation, recheck and retighten all mounting hardware at approximately 100 miles of driving, and then every 600 miles thereafter. At the same time, inspect the running boards, brackets, and mounting points for any looseness, damage, or corrosion every 600 miles or at least once a month, whichever comes first.
