AMP Research PowerStep XL – 2018–2024 Jeep Wrangler JL 4-Door (Including 4xe & Rubicon 392)
Designed specifically for lifted Jeep JL models, the AMP Research PowerStep XL is the ultimate upgrade in accessibility and style. These power-retractable running boards drop a full 4 inches lower than the standard PowerStep, providing unmatched ease of entry for taller rigs while retracting cleanly underneath the body when not in use.
Key Features & Benefits
- Lowest Deploying PowerStep: XL boards extend 4 inches lower than the standard model, making entry easier on lifted vehicles.
- Rugged Appearance: Includes a bold, heavy-duty step housing that enhances the aggressive look of your Jeep while hiding the boards when retracted.
- Built for Strength: Die-cast aluminum construction supports up to 600 lbs per side. Anodized and finished with military-grade PTFE coating to resist corrosion and wear.
- Safe Step Surface: 6-inch wide, cab-length board with a textured, non-slip finish for secure footing in all conditions.
- Integrated LED Lighting: Bright LED chips illuminate the step surface and surrounding area for confident entry at night or in poor visibility.
- Seamless Integration: Vehicle-specific kit mounts to your Jeep’s rocker panels and connects to the OBDII port via a Plug-N-Play module (included).
- Optional Override Switch: Available separately for manual control of deployment and retraction.
Professional-Grade Installation
The PowerStep XL installs using existing mounting points on your Jeep JL’s rocker panels. Each kit includes both running boards, heavy-duty motors, brackets, hardware, wiring, and a Jeep-specific install guide for a straightforward installation. Professional installation is recommended for best results.
Maintenance & Care
- Cleaning Tips: Periodically clean all four linkage arms (hinge points) with a pressure washer to remove mud, dirt, or road salt. Avoid direct spraying of the motors.
- Manual Deployment: To deploy manually, open the door, press firmly on the step with your foot, and close the door while maintaining pressure. This will keep the step deployed for cleaning.
- Lubrication: Apply only dry silicone spray to all linkage arms and pivot pins—never use grease, oil, WD-40, or surface protectants like Armor All® on the step platform.
