Re: Amp Research Powerstep
OK, as promised I've compiled a very detailed guide for bracket fabrication and installation of the brackets and steps. It has lots of pictures and a full set of prints, but that unfortunately makes it a huge document (96MB). So, I've hosted it on my personal Google Drive, but made it publicly available via this link:
Bracket Fabrication and Install Guide for Amp Research Powersteps (1st Gen K5) I'll also attach just the prints to a later post here. Hopefully this helps someone out there! |

Re: Amp Research Powerstep
I purchased the Powersteps for the Jeep as recommended. I’m wondering if aluminum stock would work for the brackets vs steel?

Beyond stiffness, the issue you'd run into (if trying to use my design exactly) would be the weld nuts on the top plate assembly. |

Re: Amp Research Powerstep
I went ahead and ordered the steel and hardware per
Your specs. Pricier than I expected but I have it shipping so that cost a few bucks. I went with 4 4” lower plates that I will weld into the 2 plates. Was easier than sourcing 8” wide plate steel. I may have some questions / comments when I get into it… but I am very grateful for the recommendations, instructions and supply list! Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Amp Research Powerstep
Happen to have some pictures of the install? I just ordered a set.

Re: Amp Research Powerstep
Not yet. I ordered a set from summit racing but they are on back order.
