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.

Key Features:

APEX Series Side Step Features:

• Optimized Entry Height: Positioned 9 inches below your van’s interior step for easy access in and out.
• Slip-Resistant Surface: Finished with INDY Protective Coating to resist rust, chips, and abrasion—ideal for muddy boots or snowy conditions.
• Body-Hugging Design: Contoured to follow your Sprinter’s rocker panel for a clean, factory-style fit.
• Structural Support: Designed to support the full weight of your van—protecting pinch seams and providing confidence during jacking or lifting.
• Ladder Compatibility: Works seamlessly with our IBEX Series side ladder, acting as a reliable lower step.

Customize Your Setup
