Get the job done right with LUVERNE Grip Step 7" running boards. These roughneck truck side steps feature a unique expanded metal tread pattern for superior traction and a 7" width for reliable footing. They are built from aluminum alloy for exceptional, rust-free strength, and they are simple to install using high-strength vehicle-specific brackets. The rugged, expanded metal tread and angular design of Grip Step running boards truly makes them a side accessory fit for your work truck or commercial van. No matter the season, the superior traction of Grip Steps locks onto the bottom of your boots and provides safe vehicle entry and exit. Because they boast an impressive 7" width, the side steps are as comfortable as they are skid-resistant. We know the job doesn't make exceptions to keep your vehicle looking pretty, and that is why Grip Step running boards are made from aluminum and shielded in a tough powder coat finish. We use a 5052 aluminum alloy to provide maximum strength and unstoppable rust resistance. To finish things off and add a professional touch, we also apply a durable textured black powder coat and contoured black plastic end caps to further protect against dirt, moisture and other threats on the job. To make installation as simple as possible, Grip Step 7" running boards are each designed for a custom-fit installation, using vehicle-specific mounting brackets. The brackets are covered in a durable black powder coat finish and bolt onto the boards using stainless steel fasteners for long-lasting strength. This particular set of Grip Step running boards is designed to fit specific years of the Ford F150 (see application info to verify fitment). These running boards come with brackets, but the brackets are shipped separately.
Grip Step running boards are designed to be the best running boards for work trucks, 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.

Yes, the CURT 401523 Grip Step Brackets are designed for 2015 and newer Ford F150 SuperCab and SuperCrew pickups. The installation uses factory-provided studs on the rocker panel, so no drilling is required. Confirm your truck is a SuperCab or SuperCrew model before purchasing.
The manual specifies the 401523 is designed for SuperCab and SuperCrew pickups only. Compatibility with Regular Cab models is not stated in the manual. Contact CURT Manufacturing or your dealer to confirm fitment for other cab styles.
No. The 401523 is a no-drill application. Installation uses factory-provided studs on the inside of the rocker panel, so no drilling, cutting, or modification of the vehicle body is required.
The kit includes: 4 step mounting brackets (part 552845), 8 nylon isolator washers 1.5" (part 108442), 8 M8-1.25 flange nuts (part 105859), 6 hex bolts 3/8"-16 x 1.0" (part 100040), 8 flat washers 3/8" (part 100062), 12 flange nuts 3/8"-16 (part 106995), 2 rubber cushion washers (part 102592), 2 double-end studs 3/8"-16 x 5" (part 104673), 2 center inboard brackets (part 552843), and 2 center outboard brackets (part 552844). The step board assembly is sold separately.
The step board is sold separately. The 401523 kit includes only the mounting brackets and hardware. You will need to purchase a compatible step board assembly and follow the separate instruction sheet that comes with it to attach the step to the brackets.
1. Install two 1.5" isolator washers, the step mounting bracket, and two M8-1.25 flange nuts over the factory studs on the left rocker panel. 2. Repeat for the rear bracket on the left side. 3. Check that both brackets are level and tighten all flange nuts. 4. Remove the center body mount bolt and install the center inboard bracket. 5. Attach the outboard bracket to the inboard bracket using three 3/8" hex bolts, flat washers, and flange nuts; adjust height to match your step board. 6. Assemble the load reaction studs with hardware as detailed in steps 7.1 and 7.2. 7. Check that the center bracket is perpendicular to the vehicle body and tighten the body mount bolt per manufacturer specifications. 8. Install the load reaction stud into the center inboard bracket and adjust so the rubber cushion washer is snug against the frame. 9. Install and tighten the outboard flange nut to 19 lb-ft. 10. Repeat steps 2–9 for the right side.
Yes. The manual explicitly requires you to read the instructions completely and verify that all required parts are on hand before starting installation. This ensures you have all components and understand the sequence, which is important because the installation involves multiple brackets, studs, and hardware that must be assembled in a specific order.
The outboard flange nut on the load reaction stud must be tightened to 19 lb-ft. This is the only torque value specified in the manual. The center body mount bolt should be tightened per the vehicle manufacturer's specifications, which are not provided in this manual.
On the short threaded end: install a 3/8" flange nut backwards onto the bottom of the thread, then install a 3/8" flat washer and rubber cushion washer tight against the flange nut. The end of the stud must be recessed in the rubber washer approximately 3/16 inch. On the long threaded end: install a 3/8" flange nut backwards to near the bottom of the threads. This assembly is critical because the rubber cushion washer must later be snug against the vehicle frame to properly support the load.
After attaching the outboard bracket to the inboard bracket using the three 3/8" hex bolts, flat washers, and flange nuts, adjust the height to match your step board before tightening the bolts. The manual does not specify how much adjustment range is available or the method for measuring height; refer to your step board assembly instructions for the correct mounting height.
The center bracket must be perpendicular to the vehicle body to ensure proper alignment and load distribution. Before tightening the center body mount bolt, check that the bracket is perpendicular, then tighten the bolt per the vehicle manufacturer's specifications. This alignment is critical for safe operation of the step.
After installing the load reaction stud into the center inboard bracket, adjust the inboard nut so that the rubber cushion washer is pressed firmly against the vehicle frame. This ensures the stud is properly seated and can support the load from the step. Once the rubber washer is snug, install and tighten the outboard flange nut to 19 lb-ft.
Yes. Step 5 requires you to remove the center body mount bolt and install the center inboard bracket in its place. After assembling the load reaction studs and checking that the center bracket is perpendicular to the vehicle body, you will reinstall and tighten this bolt per the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
Yes. The front bracket is installed first on the left side using two 1.5" isolator washers, the step mounting bracket, and two M8-1.25 flange nuts over the factory studs on the rocker panel. Step 3 instructs you to repeat this process for the rear bracket. Both must be checked for level and tightened before proceeding. The same process is then repeated on the right side.
The 1.5" nylon isolator washers (part 108442) are installed between the factory studs and the step mounting brackets on the rocker panel. Two washers are used on each side (front and rear), for a total of 8 washers. The manual does not explain their specific function, but isolator washers typically reduce vibration and protect the mounting surface.
The kit includes 4 step mounting brackets (2 per side), 2 center inboard brackets (1 per side), 2 center outboard brackets (1 per side), and 2 double-end load reaction studs (1 per side). The installation is performed on both the left and right sides of the vehicle using the same procedure.
The 401523 fits 2015+ Ford F150 SuperCab and SuperCrew pickups only. No drilling is required.
No. The kit includes only the mounting brackets and hardware. You must purchase a compatible step board separately and follow its instruction sheet to attach it to the brackets.
No. This is a no-drill application that uses factory-provided studs on the rocker panel.
Tighten the outboard flange nut on the load reaction stud to 19 lb-ft. The center body mount bolt should be tightened per your vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
Yes. After installing the front and rear brackets on each side, check that they are level before tightening all flange nuts. The center bracket must also be perpendicular to the vehicle body before tightening the center body mount bolt.
