RAM Side Steps / Runnings Boards
Heavy-Duty RAM Side Steps Built for Real-World Aussie Conditions
If you drive a RAM, you already know they’re big, tough, and not exactly built for easy entry. That’s where our range of RAM Side Steps comes in... practical, strong, and engineered to make getting in and out of your ute safer and far more comfortable. Whether you're climbing into a lifted RAM 1500 or helping the family into a RAM 2500, the right steps make a massive difference.

Good side steps aren’t just about convenience, they’re about protecting your RAM. High-quality steps help shield your sills from stone chips, carpark dings, off-road scrapes, and the general punishment that comes with owning a big American truck in Australia.
In this collection you’ll find everything from premium electric running boards that deploy when you open the door, through to classic fixed steps that offer a wide, stable platform. Each option is built to suit RAM models specifically — no dodgy universal brackets, no guesswork, just gear that fits properly and holds up to real use.
Choosing the Right Type of RAM Side Steps
Electric Side Steps (AMP Research PowerSteps)
These are the top-tier option. They tuck away neatly when you’re driving, then automatically drop down when you open the door. Perfect for lifted RAMs, families, or anyone who wants maximum clearance without sacrificing practicality.
Fixed Running Boards
Solid, dependable, and always ready to use. Fixed boards are ideal for tradies, touring setups, or anyone who wants a wide, comfortable step that doubles as protection along the sills.
Heavy-Duty Tubular Steps
Built for off-roaders who want strength and underbody protection. These give you grip, clearance, and durability without adding unnecessary weight.
Why They’re Worth Adding to Your RAM
- Safer and easier entry for kids, adults, and pets
- Added protection against stones, road debris, and trail rash
- More confidence when loading rooftop gear
- Improved practicality for lifted RAMs
- Cleaner look and better stance
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these RAM Side Steps fit my exact model?
Yes. Every product on this page is listed with the exact RAM model and year range it suits. Just select your model to confirm fitment.
Are electric side steps worth the extra cost?
If you want the easiest possible entry and maximum clearance off-road, electric steps are absolutely worth it. They stay tucked away when you’re driving and deploy instantly when the door opens.
Do RAM Side Steps help protect the body?
Yes. Both fixed and tubular steps act as a buffer against door dings, rocks, and road debris — especially useful on long country roads or gravel tracks.
Are these steps suitable for lifted RAMs?
Definitely. Electric steps are the most popular for lifted RAMs because they drop lower than fixed boards, making entry far easier.
Can I install RAM Side Steps at home?
Most fixed steps can be installed with basic tools and a bit of patience. Electric steps are more technical and usually best installed by a qualified fitter.
Do side steps affect ground clearance?
Fixed boards reduce clearance slightly, but electric steps tuck up high and maintain most of your vehicle’s natural clearance.
Are these steps compatible with RAM 1500 DS and DT models?
Yes, as long as the product listing specifies your DS or DT variant. Both shapes require different mounting points, so choosing the correct one is important.
Do RAM Side Steps support heavy loads?
Quality steps from brands like AMP Research and Go Rhino support substantial weight and are designed for repeated daily use by adults.
