Great design and execution
The picture does not do this step justice. It is a beefy, well built step. The clever design allows for adjustable height, while still keeping the step level to the ground.
My Ranger was not on the list of compatible vehicles, but I bought it anyway, figuring I would mod it somehow. The kit comes with plenty of adapters, so fitting it to my truck was pretty easy. I highly recommend installing the optional frame reinforcements that come with it. Adding them was easy, but gives a lot more strength.
I give it only 4 stars for 2 reasons: 1: They neglected to drill 1 of the 2 mounting holes in the bracket. 2: Their choice of self-tapping sheetmetal screws instead of #12 machine screws in the top of the bracket was a bad choice.
Installation took me about 5 hours total - some of that was running back and forth to the basement to get tools. Take your time and get the first one exactly right, then the other side will go smoothly.

TRUCK STEP
Well built- Easy to attach-But they did not say I could not use the extra support before I purchased and mounted them! Also I ran over a speed bump (slowly) and they hit the steps and damaged them, They must be higher than the speed Bumps.I would not reccomend these for Chevy 2004 and after.

Excellent step in customization!
Bully really make a quality product! Installed the step with minimum hassels, really adds an aggressive look to any truck! Just need to take extra time and care in measuring and installing the step properly to get the results! Highly recommend buying for any rig!!
