    Thinking about buying some AMP Powersteps for my truck. I have a set of 3" NFab steps on there right now... What do you guys think, AMP Steps or NFab??? If I decide on buying the AMP Powersteps, I'll be selling the ones I currently have on here now!!

    If the power steps actually tucked UP and above the frame I'd pick those. Super expensive though...

    Really?!? That's my only concern is one of them breaking and then I don't have steps anymore. Even though I live in Louisiana, so isnt near a problem

    For $750 I'd get them and if I didn't like them i would resell them for the purchase price or knock off $50-$100.

    My old boss had them on 3 trucks within 4 years and they all broke within a year. In California, no snow or ice, and he weighed about 280.

    I think the steps are really unique, I'm just scared of the fact that they're gonna break on me, lol.
