Sprinter Side Steps FAQ's
Do Side Steps require drilling or modification?
Minor drilling is required to ensure secure mounting.
Overall installation is straightforward and does not require welding or permanent modification to the vehicle structure.
Are Side Steps strong enough to support full body weight?
Yes. These Side Steps are designed as a load-bearing entry solution, built from heavy-gauge steel capable of supporting upt to 350 lbs.
Will these work on lifted Sprinter vans?
Yes. These Side Steps are commonly installed on lifted vans and adventure builds. In fact, they are especially useful for vans with suspension lifts or larger tires, where entry height is increased.
The reinforced step makes daily entry easier and safer.
Can these be installed by a DIY builder?
Many van owners install Sprinter Side Steps themselves using standard hand tools. However, professional installation is always recommended if you are unfamiliar with vehicle mounting hardware or working underneath the van.
Do these steps affect ground clearance?
Side Steps are designed to sit close to the body of the van while still providing a functional stepping surface. While they do add a step below the rocker line, they are positioned to maintain reasonable clearance for normal driving and adventure travel.
