Quality Built
What sets the APEX Side Steps apart is their exceptionally simple, no-hassle installation. Using existing factory holes, rivnuts, and stainless steel hardware, they bolt on easily — no additional hole drilling required. Each side includes two well-designed stainless steel brackets, engineered for a solid fit and long-term reliability. They’re also fully compatible with underbody water tanks, making them ideal for van conversions.
We’re proud to be the only ones designing a step system that prioritizes ground clearance — a known challenge with Transit vans. Our design also replaces the factory plastic trim beneath the rocker panels, delivering a seamless, clean look that enhances the overall profile of your van.
Every APEX Step is finished with INDY Protective Coating — a proven, long-lasting solution built to withstand stone chips, salt, and road debris. We never use powder coating on steps, because it simply doesn’t hold up under real-world use. It’s prone to chipping and becomes extremely slippery when wet or covered in snow — a safety risk we won’t compromise on.
More than just a step, the APEX provides a solid platform for sitting or quick access when loading gear, making it a practical and safe addition to any van build.
