Key Features:

APEX Side Step Features:

• Optimal Placement: Installed just under the rocker panels, they cover the pinch seam and maximize ground clearance.
• Essential Protection: These 7" full length steps shield your Sprinter from flying rocks picked up by the front wheels that will result in paint chips, preventing panel damage and rust spots. If you’re looking at more protection against panel damage take a look at our Steel rock sliders.
• Elegant Design: Additionally, they are bent to follow the curves of the rocker panels, enhancing your van's appearance.
• Custom Options Available: For those with a ladder mounted to the pinch seam, we offer a shorter version of the side step (contact us for more information).
• Lightweight and Convenient: They are quite light, enhancing their convenience and ease of use.

Furthermore, these side steps serve a crucial protective role. Mechanics often use the pinch seam for lifting, which can lead to structural damage. These rock sliders counter that risk. Reinforced to bear your van's weight, they prioritize safety and longevity.

Pair them perfectly with our IBEX side ladder, as they seamlessly function as the first step. These steps are not just accessories; they are an upgrade to your Mercedes Sprinter, blending style, protection, and practicality.

Side Step or Rock Slider?

More Than Just Side Steps

Purpose-built for modern overlanding, the APEX Series Side Steps are engineered to deliver both function and style. Built from Aluminum they are less than half the weight of steel, they help you stay within GVWR limits while offering secure footing and enhanced accessibility. Whether you’re entering your van in camp mode or grabbing gear off the roof, these aluminum side steps for Sprinter vans make every movement easier.

Protect What Matters

Sprinter vans—with their long wheelbase and tight turning radius—are vulnerable to hidden hazards that can wreak havoc on rocker panels. We’ve been there, and we’ve designed the solution.

Our aluminum side steps provide a strong first line of defense, offering reliable protection without unnecessary weight. They’re among the toughest aluminum side steps available, ideal for daily driving, light trails, and campgrounds.

But for serious off-road adventures, choose the APEX Rock Sliders in steel. While heavier, steel offers maximum impact resistance, absorbing hard hits from rocks, stumps, and trail debris—making it the top choice for Sprinter van rock sliders that are built to take abuse.
