Default Need Help on figuring out which steps to put on my 2005 Duramax

I have a Duramax with a 6 in. lift kit installed. I have running boards on it now, but some people can't get into my truck because they have a problem lifting their leg that high. My question is this: Does anyone know of single steps to put at each door that will drop low enough for people to get in and out easier? Any advice would be welcome as I am completely new to this. Thanks and sorry if this is in the wrong section

im a big fan of the amp research steps, they will come down when you open the door and tuck away nicely whenever you shut it leaving a clean streamline look

I had a duramax with 10" of lift , had Westin step bars and took a old 3" body lift and long bolts and used them as spacers to drop them down. Worked fine when I had it for about a year

I have Putco Boss bars. they are 4" heavy duty stainless steel wheel to wheel steps. they hold up so well. I had westin steps on my other truck they rusted out in just 3 years in our northern va winter weather. The putco steps have been on for over 5 years and look just as good as the day i put them on. They come with a full lifetime warranty as long as you keep your paper work.

Westin makes cheap ones or stainless ones, you get what you pay for
