AMP RESEARCH Announces New Power Step Extension for Ford Super Duty and Excursion Trucks AMP Research—Monday, January 14, 2008 Lifted trucks with high ground clearance and oversized tires are all the rage from coast-to-coast. And for every seriously lifted truck, there’s a need for a running board that will help you gain access to the cab. That’s why AMP RESEARCH has responded with the perfect solution– the AMP RESEARCH Power Step Extension. Now the popular AMP RESEARCH Power Step, the only power deployable aluminum running board that retracts under the doorsill or rocker panel when not in use, has improved access for 1999 and current Ford Super Duty trucks and Ford Excursions. Boarding a truck modified with a 6”, 8” or higher lift adds its own set of challenges. The new AMP RESEARCH Power Step Extension makes boarding or exiting these seriously lifted vehicles more convenient by increasing the drop of the running board an additional two inches for a more comfortable entry. The AMP RESEARCH Power Step Extension is available for all 1999 to current Ford Super Duty trucks (F-250, F-350, F-450, & F-550) including Regular, Super or Crew Cab models, and the 1999-2006 Ford Excursion. -more- The AMP RESEARCH Power Step works with the vehicle’s door sensor to deploy or retract to a natural step height. Each is custom designed to provide the most natural stepping height per make and model vehicle. The new Extension developed specifically for the Ford SD and Excursion, greatly resolves the dilemma of how to gracefully enter or exit a vehicle modified for a higher than normal ground clearance. There is only one change in installing the new AMP RESEARCH Power Step with the Extension. Simply bolt the drop brackets to the drive/idler assembly where the running boards would normally bolt, then slide the boards onto the brackets and torque to specifications. It is that easy! Installation for the full assembly is less than 2 hours for most DIY mechanics or practiced technicians.
