86 K20 Side Steps
« on: February 16, 2020, 06:10:19 PM »
Hey guys, 1st post here I have been redoing an 86 K20 with a sizeable lift on it. I took the 3" body lift off it already and it is still up there. I really want to run power steps on it but it doesn't look like anything is out there. I would be OK with Tubes but wondering if there is anything that looks cool and can handle my fat ass. I'm 6' tall and 350# but my girlfriend is 5'2" so we need something so she can get in the truck and something that wont rip right off when I try to get in. I really don't want to have to do too much fab work. I just mounted the cab with all new rockers and cab corners. Pulling the cab is not an option at this point.

Sounds like your lift is not conducive to your enjoyment of the truck. Have you considered a more practical height instead? You'll most likely have to drop the gas tanks to install any of the steps you are talking about. Hoop steps aren't made for 350 + lbs so you would definitely need something frame mounted.

Sounds like a custom steel/hydraulic fabrication is your best option.
