LUVERNE Grip Step 7" running boards for vans are the ideal work van accessories, adding safe, dependable footing to your cargo van with a vehicle-specific fit. Grip Step van steps are equipped with high-traction treads for fleet-approved safety, and they are made from powder-coated aluminum to be lightweight and provide long-lasting resistance to the elements. All Grip Step running boards are engineered for vehicle-specific installation. These van steps offer a custom fit for certain years and styles of the Dodge Sprinter 2500 or 3500, Freightliner Sprinter 2500 or 3500 and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 or 3500 (see application info to verify fitment with your cargo van). They come with a shorter driver-side step and longer passenger-side step for the sliding door. They also come with powder-coated steel brackets and stainless steel hardware for a complete install. Grip Step running boards for vans are optimized for delivery trucks, construction vehicles and other commercial vans. They feature a 7" width, covered with expanded metal treads to grip the bottom of your boots for safe entry and exit every time. The metal treads are also highly resistant to wear, and they help keep the steps clean with their open, through-hole design. The aluminum construction of LUVERNE Grip Step running boards makes them strong for a rigid step, but lightweight for optimized fuel efficiency. Aluminum is also highly corrosion-resistant. To maximize corrosion resistance, Grip Step van steps are shielded in a textured black powder coat finish. This gives them an impervious layer of protection against the elements and resists chipping and UV damage. The black running boards also complement the look and style of your cargo van, adding a professional finishing touch. To complete the look, we also offer rear Grip Step van steps, providing safe, convenient access to the rear cargo area.
Grip Step van running boards are designed to be the best running boards for work vans and cargo vans, featuring a unique expanded metal tread pattern for superior traction and a 7" width for reliable footing.
LUVERNE has manufactured truck accessories in the United States since 1963, specialising in grille guards, running boards, side steps and mud guards for pickups, commercial vans and SUVs. Products are built primarily from stainless steel, aluminium and mild steel, with model-specific mounting kits that use existing frame locations for a bolt-on installation.
LUVERNE has been manufacturing automotive accessories in the United States since 1963, and six decades of continuous production have made it a nationally recognised name in the truck accessory market. Now a Lippert brand, it concentrates on a defined set of products rather than spreading across the whole aftermarket: front-end protection, step access and spray protection for pickup trucks, commercial vans and sport utility vehicles.
Step products are the largest part of the catalog and the range is unusually deep, because the right step depends on the vehicle's ride height, the width of the rocker panel and how often people get in and out. The O-Mega II six-inch oval steps give a wide, flat standing surface in polished stainless or black powder coat, while the Regal 7 seven-inch oval steps go wider still for full-size crew cabs and lifted trucks. The broader running board and side bar range covers round tube, oval and boxed profiles across cab configurations, with treads positioned at the door openings where they are used.
Grille guards protect the front end against impacts, brush and road debris, built in tubular stainless or steel with model-specific brackets that tie into factory frame mounting points. Because the fit is engineered per vehicle, installation is a bolt-on job that does not require drilling or cutting on most applications.
Rounding out the line, LUVERNE mud guards and mud flaps shield rocker panels, paint and following vehicles from stones and road spray, in widths matched to the tyre and fender they sit behind. Material choice runs through everything the brand does: stainless steel where appearance and corrosion resistance matter most, aluminium where weight is the priority, and mild steel with protective coating where strength and value lead. Customers include contractors, fleet operators, van upfitters and truck owners.

The LUVERNE Grip Step 7" x 36", 100" Black Aluminum Running Boards, Select Sprinter 415100-400744 (Part #FTNF415100-400744) fits 2007-2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500 models. The 2026 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
Yes, the LUVERNE Grip Step 7" x 36", 100" Black Aluminum Running Boards, Select Sprinter 415100-400744 (Part #FTNF415100-400744) is designed to fit the 2007-2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500.
The LUVERNE Grip Step 7" x 36", 100" Black Aluminum Running Boards, Select Sprinter 415100-400744 (Part #FTNF415100-400744) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The 400744 Grip Steps are designed for 2007-newer Sprinter vans. The manual does not specify whether they fit all body styles, lengths, or configurations within this model range. Confirm your specific van year and configuration with the manufacturer or retailer before purchasing.
The kit includes mounting brackets, spacer brackets, fasteners (bolts, washers, nuts, screws), and retainer plates. Specifically: 4 main mounting brackets (551941), 3 additional mounting brackets (551940), 7 spacer brackets (552288), 7 retainer plates (552289), 5 U-nuts (105541), 3 self-tapping screws (105537), 14 hex head cap screws (106997), 14 washers (100647), 14 flange nuts (100178), and 14 flat washers (100034). The step assembly itself is installed separately according to instructions included with that component.
The manual specifies drill bits: 7/16", 7/32", and 11/32". A center punch is required to mark hole locations. A scraper is needed to remove undercoating from body plugs. The manual does not specify other tools such as wrenches, sockets, or a power drill, though these would be necessary for installation.
Body plug removal depends on your van's equipment. If your van does not have rear A/C, you must remove the body plugs at specific locations (9.5" back from the front of the mud flap on the driver's side, and at 48.5", 68.5", and 88.5" on the passenger side). If your van has rear A/C, the front bracket on the driver's side does not require plug removal; instead, you drill and install a self-tapping screw. On the passenger side, rear brackets still require body plug removal at the specified locations. Scrape away undercoating before removing plugs.
Yes, drilling is required. The specific holes depend on your van's rear A/C configuration. For vans without rear A/C, you drill a 7/16" hole 0.5" in front of the body plug hole for the U-nut. For vans with rear A/C, you drill a 7/32" hole at the marked location for the self-tapping screw. All installations require drilling two 11/32" holes into the pinch weld for the lower bracket mounts. These modifications are permanent.
1. Preassemble brackets with spacer brackets using 5/16-18 bolts, washers, and flange nuts—finger tighten only. 2. Install the front bracket on the driver's side (procedure varies by rear A/C presence). 3. Drill the lower bracket mount holes and fasten to the pinch weld with bolts, retainer plate, and flange nuts. 4. Install the rear bracket on the driver's side at 27.5" back from the mud flap, using the height of the first bracket as a reference to keep it level. 5. Repeat the same process on the passenger side, with rear brackets at 48.5", 68.5", and 88.5" from the mud flap. 6. Install the step assembly according to its separate instructions.
After installing the front bracket on the driver's side, measure the height from the top of that bracket to the bottom of the floor board. Use this measurement when installing the rear bracket at 27.5" back from the mud flap to ensure both brackets are level. The manual also specifies that when marking the hole location for the front bracket on a van with rear A/C, you must ensure the bracket is level with the truck before drilling.
The upper bracket mount fastener depends on your van's rear A/C configuration. For vans without rear A/C, use a 5/16-18 U-nut (item 4) with a 5/16-18 bolt and 5/16" washer (items 2 and 10). For vans with rear A/C, use a 1/4" self-tapping screw (item 5). In both cases, the fastener is installed through the top slot of the bracket.
The lower bracket mounts to the pinch weld using two 5/16-18 black bolts with 5/16" washers (items 2 and 10). On the back side of the pinch weld, a retainer plate (item 9) is placed over the bolts and secured with flange nuts (item 11). All fasteners are then tightened down.
No. During preassembly of the brackets with spacer brackets, finger tighten the 5/16-18 bolts, washers, and flange nuts only. Do not fully tighten them at this stage. Similarly, when installing the rear bracket on the driver's side, hand tighten the self-tapping screw only. Final tightening occurs after all holes are drilled and the bracket is fully positioned.
On the driver's side, two brackets are installed: a front bracket at 9.5" back from the mud flap and a rear bracket at 27.5" back. On the passenger side, three brackets are installed: a front bracket (same location as driver's side), and two rear brackets at 48.5" back from the mud flap, with additional brackets at 68.5" and 88.5" using body plug locations at the second, fourth, and sixth positions.
Use an 11/32" drill bit to drill the two holes in the lower bracket mount into the pinch weld. The bracket's lower mount holes serve as a drilling guide.
For vans without rear A/C, drill a 7/16" hole 0.5" in front of the body plug hole to install the 5/16-18 U-nut.
For vans with rear A/C, drill a 7/32" hole at the marked location (using the center round hole in the bracket as a guide) to install the 1/4" self-tapping screw.
The front bracket on the driver's side should be positioned approximately 9.5" back from the front of the mud flap on the back side of the rocker panel. At this location, there should be a body plug (if the van does not have rear A/C) or a suitable mounting point (if it does).
The rear bracket on the driver's side should be positioned approximately 27.5" back from the front of the mud flap on the back side of the rocker panel. Use the height measurement from the front bracket to ensure the rear bracket is level.
On the passenger side, rear brackets are installed at three locations: 48.5", 68.5", and 88.5" back from the front of the mud flap. Body plugs are present at these locations. The manual specifies that the second, fourth, and sixth body plug locations are used.
Use the bracket itself as a guide. For the upper mount, use the top slot or the center round hole in the bracket to mark the hole location. Mark the location, then use a center punch to create a starting point before drilling. This ensures the hole is accurately positioned.
Yes. Before removing any body plugs, scrape away the undercoating around the body plug location. This is required on both the driver's side and passenger side installations.
When drilling the 7/16" hole for the U-nut, position it 0.5" (half inch) in front of the body plug hole. This offset ensures proper alignment and clearance.
The 400744 is designed for 2007-newer Sprinter vans. Confirm your van's year and configuration with the manufacturer or retailer, as the manual does not specify all body styles or configurations.
You need 7/16", 7/32", and 11/32" drill bits. You also need a center punch and a scraper to remove undercoating.
Body plug removal depends on your van's rear A/C. Vans without rear A/C require plug removal at specific locations. Vans with rear A/C do not require plug removal for the front driver's side bracket but do for the passenger side rear brackets.
No. Finger tighten only during preassembly. Final tightening occurs after all holes are drilled and the bracket is fully positioned.
Driver's side: 2 brackets (front and rear). Passenger side: 3 brackets (front and two rear at different locations).
