Three Raised Steps Double Cab Running Boards - Easier Roof Access

In this review of the Three Raised Steps Double Cab Running Boards, the bottom line is simple: these running boards are for owners of 1999-2007 Silverado and Sierra double or extended cabs who need stronger, higher steps to reach the roof without sacrificing ground clearance. The reviewer found the three-tier step layout and dual-layer design genuinely useful for working on the roof or loading gear, while the heavy 2mm carbon steel construction and black powder coat deliver a reassuring sense of durability and weather resistance.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits Double Cab and Extended Cab models for 1999-2006 Silverado and Sierra 1500 and 2001-2006 2500HD/3500HD plus 2007 Classic, simplifying selection for the correct cab layout.
• Three Raised Steps: The three-step layout gives progressive footholds so two people can work on the roof or reach higher cargo more safely.
• Dual-layer Layout: Adds height for trucks with lift kits or oversized tires while maintaining sufficient ground clearance for everyday driving.
• Durable Construction: Built from heavy-duty 2mm carbon steel with a black powder coat that resists rust and corrosion under regular exposure.
• Non-slip Surface: Precision laser cutting and stamping create textured steps that improve traction in wet or muddy conditions.
• Simple Installation: Bolt-on mount with pre-aligned holes and included brackets and hardware, typically installable in about 20 minutes per side.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at truck owners who have a Double Cab or Extended Cab from the specified model years and who often need to access the roof for loading gear, roof racks, or maintenance. It especially suits vehicles with lift kits or larger tires where a higher step is useful.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of single cab trucks or newer model years outside the listed range, and drivers seeking lightweight aluminum nerf bars for maximum fuel economy; these running boards are substantial steel units designed for strength rather than minimal weight.

Pros & Cons

Cons
