Running Boards & Side Steps — Kansas City, Missouri

If you have a truck — especially a lifted one — running boards or side steps are not just cosmetic. They make getting in and out easier for your family, protect your rocker panels from road debris, and finish off the look of your build. At American Fusion Wheels in Shawnee, KS, we install every style from budget nerf bars to premium power-retractable steps.

KC MO to our shop: 15-20 minutes via I-35 South to 67th Street, or I-435 West to Quivira. Address: 12310 W 62nd Terrace, Shawnee, KS 66216.

Types We Install

Nerf Bars ($200-$400 installed): Round tubular bars in 3" or 4" diameter. The budget option — functional stepping surface with a clean look. Best brands: Westin, Barricade, Aries.

Running Boards ($300-$700 installed): Flat, wide stepping surface that runs the length of the cab. Easier to use than nerf bars. OEM-style appearance. Best brands: Go Rhino RB20, Westin Sure-Grip, Lund Summit Ridge.

Drop Steps ($350-$600 installed): Hoop-style with a dropped step pad that sits below the rocker panel. These are the best choice for lifted trucks because the step drops lower for easier access. Best brands: N-Fab Podium LG, Westin HDX Drop, Iron Cross.

AMP Research Power Steps ($1,200-$2,000 installed): The premium option. These automatically deploy when you open your door and retract flush when you close it. Electric motor, LED lighting, weatherproof. We are an authorized AMP Research installer.

Rock Sliders ($400-$900 installed): For Jeep owners who need trail protection. Rock sliders protect your rocker panels from rocks and obstacles while doubling as a stepping surface.
