Just installed my RBP Stealth Running boards on my 2018 Ram 2500 CTD. It's a simple install. If you've ever taken apart the interior of a vehicle and wrenched on a motor not a big project. The wiring loom connectors were very well made and it was easy to work with. Plenty of zip ties for this project are included! I took about 5 hours to install with the extra help from my 5 year old son in my garage. What I found to be the hardest part of the install was threading the motor mounting bolts into the back plate that sits inside the Ram frame. If you have the factory nuts inside the frame I'm sure it's much quicker. One simple change I'd make for the wiring is to have the passenger side magnet contact wire moved to the passenger side of the wiring loom. Drill through that floor and connect near the B pillar on that side. Currently, it goes through the driver side floor. Having it routed through the passenger side floor would prevent having to fish it under the seats and console inside the truck. I'd say it would be a cleaner install. These steps have been sturdy and are very clean system. No adjustments needed and they work great. Happy I cancelled my AMP order and bought the RBP running boards. Oh and I don't have to buy a splitter for my OBDII port.
@@kristielee5797 I’m shopping for my 2016 but the americatrucks.com website lists them as 2010-2021. I’m confident the basic cab sheet metal has remained unchanged yet from 4th to 5th gen.
We keep our vehicles for 15-25 years. I drive 5-7K miles per year since I retired. My 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double Cab, w/ premium & technology pkgs with a 6' bed. I plan on keeping it until I am dead
So, what you’re saying is RBP sponsored this video. I personally love my AMP boards on my ‘17 Ram, and I don’t have the magnets and exposed wiring in my door jambs.
I just put my amp streps on my 18’ 2500 and I also love them. Especially the obd plug and play to activate the doors. These RBP are sweet looking also but the attention to details with the wiring had me go with AMP.
Ok, maybe “attention to detail” were the wrong words to use for what I was referring to, but not having to add magnets and just having to “plug and play” with the amp steps makes it seem easier to install. But your steps look amazing and your video are very enjoyable to watch.
Ryan, glad you had a great experience with these boards. Mine was not so good... had to use the plates they provided and chase the threads on ALL of them, not to mention the 2 bolts that go through the pinch weld on all the motors, which I had to drill out because I had no holes. This should have been a 3 hour install like you said but the garbage I had to work with made it much more difficult than it had to be. The wiring was the least painful I have ever dealt with though which made it easy to button up. My wife has a JKU that I'll be putting these on...I sure hope they do a little quality control with their hardware like they have with their wiring harness!!! Thanks for the heads up on these boards though...they are nice when you wade through the b.s.!!!
Great Product just got mine today to bad its raining outside. I found time to install them when the rain stopped and I'll do the electrical tomorrow.lol
I love the design of these steps on how thin they are. What I don't like is the extra wire for each door. More wire more problems uou think they would figure out how to plug into obd2 port.
Questions 1) What is the drop with those installed? I have a 6inch lift with 35s. Stock boards are just not cutting it. Question 2) I’m worried about the wiring that could be kicked, or pinched. I have a kid and dog in and out all the time. Please let me know about and wear of tear on them. Love this video, detailed man and solid. I’m in the market and seriously considering these now.
After watching this, I wish I would have bought these instead of the amp steps. The amps were such a pia to install. It required very precise alignment to prevent it from hitting the bottom of the cab. Not to mention, I paid 1300 shipped and it has one less motor than the RBP's.
Just installed my RBP Stealth Running boards on my 2019 Ram 2500 yesterday. They look great but really wish @Rolling Big Power would have designed/planned these a bit better on the gas models. That front motor and assembly hits the frame mounted vibration dampening unit on both sides. Reality is if they would have just built it with the motor on the opposite side of the assembly it would have cleared. Other than that, install was fairly straight forward and the quality seems to be much better than AMP. Assemblies seem much more heavy duty.
Is there a way to wire these WITHOUT the magnetic switches in the door jambs?? That's a DEAL BREAKER. I'd like them to deploy as soon as I hit the UNLOCK button - not upon opening the door. They look great otherwise - nearly invisible. NICE
Hey Ryan, I realized this video is 2 years old. Is RBP planning to make a kit for the 2021-22 Ford Bronco? These seem to be a better value than the AMP ones.
Wow this is awesome! I didn’t know RBP started making powered running boards. I was recently planning on getting AMP steps but after seeing how awesome these RBP boards are I’m definitely going to wait it out and get a set of these once they start making them for my truck!! By the looks it will absolutely be worth the wait😎 thanks for the video, trucks looking great man!
Awesome I’m really looking forward to getting a set! I’ll definitely have to go with extended drop that will be sooo sweet!! RBP, fantastic job you guys really stepped it up here!
Looks great. I like how they don't use the obd port(I don't want a splitter), but for the cost, I have to wait. I have other things that need to done before a new set of boards. RBP, want to send me a set?
How far down to the bottom of the step from your truck . I’m trying to figure out if I will be able to lift my leg that high to get up on my truck , I use a step ladder now
While it’s good to have competition in the power running board world. I’ll still purchase the tried and true Amp Steps. Watching this video makes me think no big difference with function, finish, and install. Hopefully RBP will have better luck than the other power step company knockoffs (Bestops) that copied Amp Research.
Thanks for the feedback James, and for watching. Our power boards are completely different in design, function and manufacturing, so no "copying" others. So much so, that we were awarded 7 of our own patents. So thanks for the feedback, but your facts are a little off. Have a great day!
the great thing is when you wait with product on back order. RBP says you only have been wait to 2 months before we discontinue the line. We have people waiting for 6 month we are cancel there orders Now that is customer service
RBP states as a NOTICE: Not for trucks with factory air ride. Why would it not be compatible? Especially if they work off the magnets in the door jam. Unless they are speaking to the 1500's and the front and back air ride. I could see that lowering too much for these power steps. Any ideas?
2 questions1st what is the vertical drop from bottom of door to step when deployed2nd can the disable switch be used to lock the steps down for door ding protection in crowded parking lots
On the Rams like Ryan has, the vertical height difference between the bottom of the door and the edge of the power board is 12.6". And yes you can leave them down in a parking lot if you do choose. Thanks for your interest!
Do they tell you also what tools and sockets are needed? Also....you need some led lights from headlight revolution. Those factory ones are killing the leds💪
They tell you more than you need to know so you’ll have everything covered! You’ll have 0 problems doing this as a Saturday morning project and be done well before lunch!!
I’m curious because I didn’t see nor heard it discussed in the video but, the steps do retract when you open the rear doors? Im sure they do, just didn’t get a confirmation about it.
I just order mine from custom offset for 2016 ram 1500 on 35's with 6in lift. I ordered the 3in entended boards anyone know if that was right? No where does it recomend for lift size
amp steps took me less than 2 hours a lot nicer than having wires in the door jam and no drilling in the floor boards just little hole for the led wires to go through pinch weld..and the mounting hardware is the same....not an rbp design
