Like many LUVERNE side steps and running boards, O-Mega II 6" oval side steps are made to work hard and to do it with style. They are constructed from strong, lightweight, rust-free aluminum, and to truly make them a step up from the rest, we shield them in a highly durable powder coat finish. This ensures maximum corrosion resistance and excellent protection against scuffs and scratches. The side steps are available in two powder coat finish options, including textured black and silver powder coat. O-Mega II side steps are also made to provide safe, comfortable entry and exit from your vehicle. They feature tough aluminum step pads with protruded circular treads that will never wear or crack. The step pads offer a non-skid surface, and they are finished with a textured black powder coat for lasting corrosion resistance. Also unique to our O-Mega II step pads is their customizable positioning. The pads are packaged unattached from the tubes and mount with self-tapping screws. This allows you to precisely match the layout of your vehicle to suit your preferences. You can mount them to the provided factory specifications or adjust them to a custom placement. The 6" x 2-3/4" tubes are fitted with black TPO plastic end caps, adding a modern, professional look. The end caps are also paintable to allow for even further customization. Each set of O-Mega II side steps is designed for vehicle-specific installation and fitment, using a unique set of mounting brackets. This particular set of side steps fits specific years of the Chevy Express 1500, 2500 or 3500 and GMC Savana 1500, 2500 or 3500 (see application info to verify fitment). NOTE: Mounting brackets are included but ship separately.
LUVERNE O-Mega II 6" oval side steps are made to work hard and to do it with style. They are constructed from strong, lightweight, rust-free aluminum and shielded in a highly durable powder coat finish of textured black or smooth silver.
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 MEGA STEPS model 571345 are designed for 2003 and newer Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans with a 135" wheelbase, including 1500, 2500, and 3500 models. Installation procedures differ slightly between 1500 vans and 2500/3500 vans, particularly in the placement of U-nuts on the mounting brackets.
The O-MEGA II 6" OVAL STEPS are listed as a universal application. However, the step pad positioning varies significantly by vehicle model. The manual provides a positioning guide for Silverado, Sierra, Express, Savana, Ram, and Ford F-150 and Super Duty models, with pad locations ranging from 6-7/8" to 56-1/2" depending on cab style and wheelbase. A specific bracket package is required for your vehicle, and its instructions must be followed for proper mounting.
The manual requires a drill with a 1/8" bit for drilling step pad attachment holes. A torque wrench is required to tighten fasteners to specification (5 lb-ft for end caps, 19 lb-ft for step mounting nuts). The manual does not specify additional tools, but standard hand tools for bolt installation are implied.
A torque wrench is required to tighten fasteners to specification (65 lb-ft for body mounting brackets and spring shackle bolts, 19 lb-ft for step plate bolts). A measuring tape or ruler is required to verify step pad positioning and final step height (approximately 2-1/2" from the bottom of the body panel). Standard hand tools for bolt and nut installation are implied. The manual does not specify whether a drill or other specialized tools are needed.
The manual does not specify removal of factory parts for O-MEGA II installation. It directs you to follow the instructions included with your specific bracket package, which will detail any required removals. The step pads are attached to the step plates before mounting, so no factory components are mentioned as needing removal.
Yes. The MEGA STEPS installation requires removal of factory body mounting bolts on both the left and right sides of the vehicle. The factory bolt, steel washer, and rubber cushion from each location are reused as part of the new mounting assembly. The manual specifies removal of the front body mounting bolt (Step 1), the second body mounting bolt (Step 5), and the front spring shackle bolt (Step 10), then repeating on the right side (Step 11).
The O-MEGA II includes: 2 aluminum extrusions (available in silver or black, in lengths of 95.0", 99.0", 105.0", 111.0", or 122.0"), 6 aluminum step pads, 4 plastic end caps, 28 square head screws (5/16"-18 X 1"), 28 serrated flange nuts (5/16"-18), and 30 TEK screws (#8-18 X 1/2") for pad attachment. Verify all parts are present before starting installation.
The MEGA STEPS includes: 1 step assembly (98.00"), 6 mounting brackets (front left/right, center left/right, rear left/right), 2 hex washer head screws (3/8"-16 X 1-3/4"), 2 hex head cap screws (3/8"-16 X 5"), 6 serrated flange nuts (3/8"-16), 4 U-nuts (multi-thread, 3/8"-16), 2 flat washers (5/8"), 2 cap plugs (.364 X .625), 2 rubber washers (.354 X 1.00 X .748), 2 spacer washers (1/8" X 1-3/4"), 12 square head bolts (5/16"-18 X 1"), 12 hex flange nuts (5/16"-18), and 2 flat washers (3/8"). Verify all parts are present before starting installation.
Yes. Drilling is required to attach the step pads to the step plates. You must drill 5 holes of 1/8" diameter through each step pad using the pad as a guide, then attach each pad with 5 TEK screws (#8-18 X 1/2"). The manual notes that due to the shortness of some boxes, the box step pad should be mounted first, approximately 1/2" from the end cap, then the middle step pad mounted accordingly.
The manual does not mention drilling as part of the MEGA STEPS installation process. The installation involves removing and reusing factory body mounting bolts and spring shackle bolts, and attaching the step assembly to mounting brackets using existing fastener holes. No drilling, cutting, grinding, welding, or permanent modifications are described.
Step pad positioning varies by vehicle model and cab style. The manual provides a positioning guide on Sheet 2 with specific measurements for Pad A and Pad B locations. For example, Silverado/Sierra Double Cab uses Pad A at 14-3/4" and Pad B at 46-3/4"; Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans use only Pad A at 7-1/2" with no Pad B. The note states these are suggestions and may be placed at the purchaser's discretion. Mount the box step pad first, approximately 1/2" from the end cap, then mount the middle step pad accordingly.
Install brackets in this order: (1) Remove and reuse the front body mounting bolt, install the front mounting bracket (left side) with the U-nut, and tighten to 65 lb-ft. (2) Install the load reaction bolt assembly on the front bracket. (3) Remove and reuse the second body mounting bolt, install the center mounting bracket (left side) with the U-nut and cap plug, and tighten to 65 lb-ft. (4) Install the load reaction bolt assembly on the center bracket. (5) Measure from the body flange to the bottom of both brackets to ensure they are level, then adjust the rear bracket to match this dimension. (6) Remove and reuse the spring shackle bolt, install the rear mounting bracket with spacer washer and flat washer, and tighten to 65 lb-ft. (7) Repeat all steps on the right side. (8) Install the step assembly and tighten to 19 lb-ft.
The end caps (Item #3) must be tightened to 5 lb-ft.
The 5/16" serrated flange nuts (Item #5) that attach the step to the mounting brackets must be tightened to 19 lb-ft.
The front and center mounting brackets must be tightened to 65 lb-ft. This applies to the factory body mounting bolts that are reused with the new brackets (Steps 3 and 7). The rear mounting bracket, which uses the spring shackle bolt, must also be tightened to 65 lb-ft (Step 10).
The 5/16" serrated flange nuts on the square head screws that attach the step plate to the mounting brackets must be tightened to 19 lb-ft. The manual specifies finger-tightening only during initial positioning (Step 13), then final torque to 19 lb-ft after aligning the step height (Step 15).
The top of the MEGA STEPS should be approximately 2-1/2" from the bottom of the body panel. This measurement must be verified before final tightening of the step plate bolts to 19 lb-ft.
The load reaction bolt assembly uses a 3/8"-16 hex bolt (5" long for the front bracket, 1-3/4" long for the center bracket) with serrated flange nuts on both ends. The bolt is installed through a U-nut, with 3/4" protruding from the face of the outer nut. A 3/8" flat washer and rubber washer (.354 X 1.00 X .748) are installed on the end of the bolt. The rubber cushion must be snug against the frame before the outside flange nut is tightened. The assembly allows the step to pivot slightly to accommodate frame irregularities.
Three factory fasteners are reused on each side of the vehicle: (1) the front body mounting bolt with its steel washer and rubber cushion, (2) the second body mounting bolt with its steel washer and rubber cushion, and (3) the front spring shackle bolt with its factory nut. These fasteners are removed, then reinstalled through the new mounting brackets with the original washers and cushions in place.
The U-nuts on the front and center mounting brackets are installed in different holes depending on van model. For 1500 vans, install the U-nut in the top hole. For 2500 and 3500 vans, install the U-nut in the bottom hole. This adjustment affects the height and angle of the mounting brackets.
After installing the front and center mounting brackets on one side, measure from the bottom of the body flange down to the bottom of both mounting brackets to verify they are at the same height. When installing the rear bracket, adjust it to match this dimension before tightening the bolts. This ensures the step assembly will be level and properly aligned.
Yes. The step must be centered front to rear on the vehicle. This is accomplished by positioning the square head screws in the slots of the mounting brackets and adjusting the step position before finger-tightening the nuts. Final alignment is confirmed by ensuring the step plate aligns with the bottom of the body sheet metal before final torque.
The rubber cushions and washers serve to isolate the mounting brackets from the vehicle frame and body, reducing vibration and noise transmission. Factory rubber cushions are reused at the body mounting points (Steps 1, 5). Additional rubber washers (.354 X 1.00 X .748) are installed on the load reaction bolt assemblies and must be snug against the frame before final tightening (Steps 4, 8). These components protect the vehicle structure and improve step durability.
The cap plug (.364 X .625, vinyl, black) is installed onto the end of the U-nut on the center mounting bracket (Item #13). It serves to cover and protect the U-nut from dirt, moisture, and debris. It is only used on the center bracket, not on the front bracket.
The spacer washer (1/8" X 1-3/4", Item #15) is installed between the spring shackle bolt and the rear mounting bracket. It serves to maintain proper spacing and alignment of the bracket relative to the frame and spring assembly, ensuring the step is positioned correctly and the load is distributed properly.
The step pads must be attached to the step plates before the step is mounted to the brackets because the manual specifies drilling 5 holes of 1/8" diameter through each pad using the pad as a guide, then securing with TEK screws. This is easier and safer to do on a workbench or flat surface before the step is elevated on the vehicle. Additionally, the pad positioning varies by vehicle model, so positioning them correctly before mounting ensures proper fit and function.
The MEGA STEPS model 571345 fit 2003 and newer Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans with a 135" wheelbase (1500, 2500, 3500 models only). If you have a different vehicle, you need the O-MEGA II 6" OVAL STEPS, which are universal but require a vehicle-specific bracket package.
You need a drill with a 1/8" bit (to drill step pad holes), a torque wrench (to tighten fasteners to 5 lb-ft and 19 lb-ft), and standard hand tools. The specific bracket package instructions may require additional tools.
