My driver side step will only go halfway up whenever it rains.. Steps are 3 months old... Anybody else has had this happened? Any pointers? Thanks

yes for sure, Most likely its in the mouting on the cab, what i would do is remove the drive motor first and run the steps by hand and see if there is a spot that drags or something. They should basically free fall down very easily. If they dont start loosening the cab mounting bolts untill it does. you will get an idea where you need to shim them at by doing this. Mine needed shims on the passenger side rear mounts upper bolts, I did that about a year ago and have had zero issues.

Another thing is use a good silicone spray on the joints, mine squeak from the road salt, if i spray them down quickly before a snow storm they are noise free for a long time and work great.

Only problem I have ever encountered is on my dad's truck, had the led light on the right rear burn out. So instead of chasing the problem assuming more would follow, we ordered a set of the rigid rock lights to replace them. They just came in this week will update with pics when I get them installed. Props to josh over at dirty diesels for hooking me up

Make sure you use the primer stick that comes in the kit or the rubber will not stick. We decided to use 3m tape to attach them versus drill holes. Get sold off me or josh for pricing and color options

The lights that come with these steps are lacking. The pics tyler posted are the low power A-series rigids. Puts the stock amp lights to shame. Super easy install too
