Edit: 9/20. After posting on a FB forum. Someone mentioned that if you keep your foot on the step while it is open, then close the door, it might stay open. Well, this is indeed the case. Not sure if it’s necessarily good for the step, but the number of times that I would probably use that technique to keep it open, it probably wouldn’t hurt it. Just wanted to update this post to help others and answer the questions that haven’t been answered.
Just installed the rough country power running boards. They are a nice solid product. These mount to the preexisting bolts that OEM steps mount to. No drilling, just a decent amount of wire running. Really liking the way this truck is turning out. I can’t compare to amp, but I am happy with them. Install wasn’t too bad, but the instructions could definitely be a little more detailed. The steps also come with a switch where you can disable the steps, so they don’t deploy when a door is opened. It’s a pretty generic switch that you stick on to some place inconspicuous or where ever you please. Well I also wanted a way to have the steps be deployed when the doors are shut. Makes it easier for me to wash the roof. Was able to put a couple switches, inline, of the factory wiring. The steps are deployed by way of magnetic door triggers. This basically tells power board brain that the door is open and keeps the steps deployed. Installed the new switches on the panel that has the hood release. Also replaced the factory switch that RC supplies. Came out nice and clean.
top switch is the “don’t deploy” switch. The lower 2 are drivers side and passenger side “keep deployed” switches
pics of the switches I used from Amazon and the switch that comes with the kit.
