Good video. For future reference if you do anymore mods and for others that watch this, you can run the wire across the opening at 1:55 where you pointed out the bracket to use for mounting the module. You just have to make sure the wire does not interfere with the actuator. I ran a wire across that way when I installed dual function light modules in my doors for the mirrors
I'd recommend their newer model. I have them now, and like them better. Easier to install as well, with magnets for sensors, not tied into truck computer.
Hi thanks for the great information! I was wondering if you could tell me the exact drop distance on your steps. I think it says 6 inch on rc website But it doesn't look like 6 inches in your video. So I was wondering what the distance is from fully up to fully down in inches on your 2022 ram 1500.. Also if you could tell me what the exact width of the step is? (I have the same year 1500) thx so much!!! 🙏
They come down further than any boards that I am aware of. They drop approximately 5 inches from their closed position when door opens, 8 inches from ground on 2 in leveling kit. As for width, I won’t be able to check that til next week. Away from vehicle. Approx. 7 inches
@@acer154d Okay great perfect Thanks for the info on the drop length! Yeah I'd appreciate the width of the step from you. I was on tech support with RC and they said they were approx 4 in wide.. So I'll be curious to know what you tell me when you get to the truck.. thx again!! I watch for your message 😉
Hi. Do your power running boards come down further/lower than the factory style chrome running boards? I have a 4" lift on my truck and the wife finds it too high getting in the truck now because she's short lol. Thanks.

The model in this video is older than what they sell now. For the model in this video, there are no sensors installed. It is plugged in to the vehicle, and the sensors are the onboard sensor for the doors. In the new rough country model, it does have sensors that you install using 3M strips. They are magnetic sensors that you place inside the door jam
Yes. Kinda useless, because they don’t shine on the boards themselves, but they work to illuminate the ground when door open. Not that bright. They seem more decorative than functional.
for mine when i unlock the truck it only slides the driver side stepbar out but for the passenger side it only slides out if someone opens any right side passenger side door not sure if anyone might know where i went wrong?
@@acer154d thanks I just picked up the same truck yesterday but I do like the black wheels so considering just changing the tires and a front level kit. Great Video.
@@stosgarage456 Congrats! Yep, I did tires and rough country 2in leveling kit. Something to note, before changing anything, check your average miles per gallon. I didn't check mine before changing tires and leveling, but I'm now only getting 11 MPG city, and 14 MPG highway. Not sure if this RAM was that bad prior to changing, but it's painful to see! Also, if you increase tire size, see my video on calibrating the vehicle for larger tires with AlphaOBD.
Thanks for the tour. I installed these on my 2010 Ram as my original factory ones rusted off.

Interesting.
I think I might go for the OEM ones.

Thank you for sharing all you learned here.
Thanks my guy

Did you have to put on the sensors? Thank you for the upload

Do these have the leds along the bottom?

I’m putting the leveling kit on mine. What size tires are those?
275 60 R20
Here is noise test too m.ruclips.net/user/shortsgcwBVbFteE4
for mine when i unlock the truck it only slides the driver side stepbar out but for the passenger side it only slides out if someone opens any right side passenger side door not sure if anyone might know where i went wrong?
That sounds correct
@@acer154dso it’s only the driver side that’s slides out? thought both should slide out when unlocking it?
I like those tires, what are the specs on those?
Falken Wildpeak AT3W 275/60R20. Could also consider the 275/65R20 ... kinda wish I went with a little larger.
Can also check the noise test in my channel ruclips.net/video/gcwBVbFteE4/видео.html

What’s the maximum size we can go with those tires on oem rims? I think we have the same ones 20 inch
