Three Raised Steps Double Cab Running Boards for Chevy Silverado & GMC

In this review of the Three Raised Steps Double Cab Running Boards, the bottom line is simple: these steps are for owners of 2019-2025 Chevy Silverado and 2020-2025 Chevy/GMC 2500/3500 double or extended cabs who need sturdy, easy roof access. The reviewer found the three-step layout and dual-layer configuration make it noticeably easier to reach the roof and secure gear, while the heavy-duty 2mm carbon steel construction and black powder coating deliver a durable, low-maintenance finish. Installation is straightforward and bolt-on, so most users can fit the boards without drilling in about 20 minutes per side.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits 2019-2025 Chevy Silverado and 2020-2025 Chevy/GMC 2500HD and 3500HD Double Cab/Extended Cab, ensuring the boards align with the correct cab dimensions for these trucks.
• Three Raised Steps: The triple-step arrangement provides staged access to the roof so two or more people can work on the roof at once or load cargo more easily.
• Dual-layer Layout: The elevated second layer helps owners with lift kits or oversized tires maintain ground clearance while still giving a high step point for roof access.
• Robust Construction: Built from heavy-duty 2mm carbon steel and finished with black powder coating, the boards resist rust and support up to 550 pounds per side.
• Non-slip Surface: Precision laser cutting and stamping produce a textured step surface that improves traction in wet or muddy conditions.
• Easy Installation: Bolt-on brackets and predrilled mounting holes mean the set installs in roughly 20 minutes without cutting or drilling additional holes.

Who It's For

This product suits truck owners who use their Silverado or Sierra for work or outdoor activities and need reliable, repeated roof access for racks, gear, or maintenance. It is particularly useful for vehicles with lift kits or larger tires because the dual-layer layout preserves clearance while still providing a high step point.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of crew cab or single cab models outside the listed years and anyone who needs a lightweight or minimalist side step; these running boards are heavy-duty and prioritize durability and roof access over low profile styling.

Pros & Cons
