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 two shorter steps, one for the driver-side door and one for the passenger-side 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 Model 415036 package includes the step boards (extrusions) and assembly hardware only. You will receive 2 step extrusions (36 inches each), 4 upper support braces, 4 end caps, 4 lower spacer plates, 8 carriage bolts (5/16-18 x 1"), 8 flat washers (5/16), 8 serrated flange nuts (5/16-18), and 8 self-drilling tek screws (#8 x 1/2"). The mounting brackets are sold separately and must be ordered specific to your vehicle.
The Model 400741 bracket package is designed for 2007-newer Sprinter vans only. If your Sprinter van is model year 2007 or newer, this package is compatible. The installation instructions are specific to Sprinter vans and include separate procedures for driver's side and passenger side installation.
The manual does not specify which vehicles are compatible with the Model 415036 step boards. The manual states that you must follow instructions included with the specific bracket package you are using, which are sold separately. Contact the manufacturer or your retailer to confirm which bracket packages and vehicles are compatible with the 415036 boards.
The manual specifies the following tools are needed: a 7/16" drill bit, a 7/32" drill bit, an 11/32" drill bit, a center punch, and a screwdriver. A level is recommended to ensure the brackets are installed level with the truck. Additional hand tools for tightening bolts and nuts will be required.
The manual does not mention disconnecting the battery. No electrical work is involved in the installation of the 400741 grip steps, so battery disconnection is not required.
Yes. The manual explicitly states: "READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY AND CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL REQUIRED PARTS (LISTED ON THE SERVICE PARTS LIST) ARE ON HAND BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION." This applies to both the 415036 step assembly and the 400741 bracket package. Verify all parts are present before beginning work.
Assembly has two steps: (1) Slide the appropriate number of support braces (item #2) into the channel of each step (item #1). (2) Slide the end cap (item #3) over the front and rear of each step, then use the supplied #8 x 1/2" self-drilling tek screw (item #8) to screw the end cap to the bottom of the step. Complete this assembly before attaching the steps to the mounting brackets.
Follow these steps: (1) Set the step on the mounting brackets. (2) Slide each support brace over the top of each mounting bracket. (3) Attach the flat spacer plate (item #4) to the bottom of the step, positioned between the support brace and the top of the mounting bracket. (4) Using the supplied 5/16-18 x 1" carriage bolt, washer, and flange nut (items 5, 6, 7), attach the step assembly, spacer plate, and mounting bracket together. (5) Set the step plate in the correct position and tighten all fasteners. Torque all 5/16" fasteners to 19 lb-ft.
The installation sequence is: (1) Preassemble the brackets with spacer brackets using bolts, washers, and flange nuts (finger tighten only). (2) Install the front bracket on the driver's side or passenger side (procedures are identical). (3) Install the rear bracket. (4) Repeat the same process on the opposite side of the vehicle. The manual provides separate detailed instructions for driver's side and passenger side, but the attachment procedures are the same for both sides.
Yes, drilling is required. The installation involves drilling multiple holes in the rocker panel and pinch weld of the Sprinter van. Drill bit sizes used are 7/16", 7/32", and 11/32". The exact drilling locations depend on whether your truck has rear A/C: trucks without rear A/C require drilling 1/2" in front of the body plug hole; trucks with rear A/C require drilling at a marked location. These are permanent modifications to the vehicle.
It depends on whether your truck has rear A/C. If your truck does NOT have rear A/C, you must scrape the undercoating off around the body plug and remove it, then drill a 7/16" hole 1/2" to the front of the body plug hole and insert a 5/16-18 U-nut. If your truck DOES have rear A/C, you do not remove the body plug; instead, you mark the hole location using the bracket as a guide, center punch, and drill with a 7/32" drill bit, then install a 1/4" self-tapping screw.
Three drill bit sizes are required: 7/16", 7/32", and 11/32". The 7/16" bit is used to drill the hole 1/2" in front of the body plug hole (trucks without rear A/C only). The 7/32" bit is used to drill the marked hole for the self-tapping screw (trucks with rear A/C) and for the rear bracket top slot. The 11/32" bit is used to drill the two lower bracket mount holes in the pinch weld.
All 5/16" fasteners on the Model 415036 grip steps must be torqued to 19 lb-ft. This applies to the carriage bolts, washers, and flange nuts that attach the step assembly to the mounting brackets.
The fasteners are: 5/16-18 x 1" carriage bolts (item #5, qty 8), 5/16" flat washers (item #6, qty 8), and 5/16-18 serrated flange nuts (item #7, qty 8). These fasteners pass through the support braces, spacer plates, and mounting brackets. All must be torqued to 19 lb-ft.
Multiple fastener types are used depending on the mounting location: (1) For preassembly of brackets and spacer brackets: 5/16-18 bolts with 5/16" washers and flange nuts. (2) For the front bracket upper mount (trucks without rear A/C): 5/16-18 U-nut and 5/16-18 bolt with washer. (3) For the front bracket upper mount (trucks with rear A/C): 1/4" self-tapping screw. (4) For the lower bracket mounts: 5/16-18 bolts with 5/16" washers, retainer plates, and flange nuts. (5) For the rear bracket upper mount: 5/16" self-tapping screw. Specific part numbers are listed in the service parts list.
Measure about 9-1/2" back from the front of the mud flap on the back side of the rocker panel. In this location there should be a body plug. The front bracket is mounted at this location. The exact fastening method depends on whether your truck has rear A/C (see separate questions for trucks with and without rear A/C).
Measure about 27 1/2" back from the front of the mud flap on the back side of the rocker panel. This is approximately where the second (rear) bracket will be installed. Before drilling, measure the height of the first bracket from the top of the bracket to the bottom of the floor board; this measurement helps ensure the rear bracket is mounted level. Use the bracket as a guide to mark the hole location using the top slot in the bracket.
"Finger tighten only" means to tighten the fasteners by hand until snug, without using tools. This is done during the preassembly of the brackets with spacer brackets (step 1) and when initially installing the rear bracket's self-tapping screw (step 3.4). Final tightening with tools occurs after all holes are drilled and all fasteners are in place.
The retainer plate (item #8) is placed on the back side of the pinch weld to distribute the load of the bolts and prevent the fasteners from pulling through the metal. After drilling the lower bracket mount holes and inserting the 5/16-18 bolts and washers through the drilled holes, the retainer plate is positioned over the bolts on the back side of the pinch weld, and flange nuts are installed to secure the bracket.
Yes, the installation procedures for the passenger side are the same as the driver's side. The manual states: "ATTACHING THE BRACKETS WILL BE THE SAME AS THE DRIVERS SIDE, STEPS 2 THRU 3." Both the front and rear brackets are installed using the same methods and fasteners on both sides of the vehicle.
No. After hand tightening the rear bracket's self-tapping screw (step 3.4), you then repeat steps 2.4 and 2.5, which involve drilling the lower bracket mount holes and fastening the bracket to the pinch weld with bolts, washers, and flange nuts. The self-tapping screw remains in place and is tightened along with all other fasteners.
Yes, if your Sprinter van is model year 2007 or newer. The 400741 bracket package is designed specifically for 2007-newer Sprinter vans.
You need 7/16", 7/32", and 11/32" drill bits. You will also need a center punch, screwdriver, and a level to ensure the brackets are installed level with the truck.
Yes. Multiple holes must be drilled in the rocker panel and pinch weld. The drilling locations and methods depend on whether your truck has rear A/C. Trucks without rear A/C require drilling a 7/16" hole; trucks with rear A/C require drilling a 7/32" hole. All trucks require drilling 11/32" holes in the pinch weld.
Yes. Before attaching the steps to the brackets, slide the support braces into the step channel, then slide the end caps over the front and rear of each step and screw them to the bottom using the supplied #8 x 1/2" tek screws.
Yes. The passenger side installation uses the same procedures as the driver's side. Both sides are installed identically.
