What Is Side Armor for Trucks?

Side armor refers to side-mounted protection systems that:

• Improve cab access
• Protect rocker panels
• Reduce paint damage from debris
• Add lower-body reinforcement
• Enhance structural durability

Properly engineered side armor does more than provide a step — it strengthens one of the most exposed areas of your truck.

RS Series Running Boards

Full-Length Accessibility with Reinforced Stability

The RS Series is designed to provide continuous stepping support along the cab while maintaining structural strength and clean styling.

Key Benefits of RS Series:

✓ Full-length stepping surface
✓ Heavy-duty steel construction
✓ Frame-mounted stability
✓ Improved passenger accessibility
✓ Corrosion-resistant finish
✓ Vehicle-specific fitment

The RS Series is ideal for:

• Lifted trucks
• Family-use vehicles
• Work trucks with frequent entry
• Drivers prioritizing stability and durability

It delivers balanced accessibility and lower-body reinforcement.

AR Drop Steps

Targeted Access with Aggressive Styling

The AR Drop Steps are engineered for drivers who want a lower stepping point without sacrificing structural integrity.

Designed for improved ergonomics, they offer:

✓ Lower drop-step positioning
✓ Reinforced step plates
✓ Secure multi-point mounting
✓ Compact but aggressive design
✓ Durable powder-coated finish

AR Drop Steps are ideal for lifted trucks where cab height makes standard steps less practical.

They provide confident access while maintaining rugged presence.

FX LED Running Board Series

Integrated Illumination with Functional Protection

The FX LED Running Board Series combines structural step support with integrated lighting technology.

Designed for visibility and convenience, this series offers:

✓ Built-in LED lighting system
✓ Full-length stepping surface

The integrated LED system enhances entry visibility in low-light environments while maintaining durable side protection.

This series blends modern technology with structural function.
