Installing Luverne Rear Grip Step on RAM ProMaster

Safe, easy access to your work van isn’t optional—it’s essential. That’s why installing Luverne Rear Grip Step for the RAM ProMaster is a smart upgrade for any tradesperson or fleet vehicle. With its wide, non-slip platform, it offers reliable footing for everyday use. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step installation so you can achieve a secure, professional fit in under an hour.

Why Installing Luverne Rear Grip Step on RAM ProMaster Matters

First, repeated entry and exit can strain joints. Therefore, a robust rear step makes sense. Additionally, the Luverne Grip Step XL offers a 54″ wide platform for stable footing. Finally, the black powder-coated finish resists corrosion and complements your van’s aesthetics.

Overview of the Luverne Rear Running Board System

The Luverne kit includes:

• Two steel support brackets molded for ProMaster frame rails
  
• Grip Step XL panel sized 7″ × 54″ for full-width coverage
  
• T-bolts, washers, and lock nuts for tool-free bracket installation
  
• End caps and optional reflectors when you choose the fleet kit
  

Although we don’t manufacture this step, we only sell products we trust. Consequently, you get a solution built to last.

Key Features of the Luverne Rear Grip Step

When you opt for this rear step, you unlock:

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Rated to support up to 500 lbs safely
  
• All-Weather Traction: Integrated studs prevent slips in rain or snow
  
• Low-Profile Design: Maintains ground clearance and door swing
  
• Custom Fit Brackets: No drilling required on most wheelbases
  

Moreover, the step’s full-width design makes cargo loading and unloading straightforward.

Step-by-Step: Installing Luverne Rear Grip Step on RAM ProMaster

1. Gather Tools and Inspect Kit
   First, clear the rear bumper area. Then, confirm you have the brackets, T-bolts, and hardware. Finally, grab a 10 mm socket, 13 mm wrench, and a fat marker.
   
2. Attach Frame Rail Brackets
   Next, remove two factory 10 mm bolts from the driver side frame. Meanwhile, store them for reassembly. Then, insert the T-bolt into the frame rail hole with its flange facing forward. After that, lift the bracket into place and loosely secure it.
   
3. Secure Rocker Panel Brackets
   Then, move to the passenger side rocker. Peel back any underbody liner. Next, install two more T-bolts in pinch-weld holes. Meanwhile, align the rocker support bracket and attach with lock nuts.
   
4. Position Rear Brackets
   After that, slide the rear step brackets onto the frame studs. Meanwhile, determine step height based on your trailer hitch or accessories. Then, hand-tighten the bracket hardware to allow for final alignment.
   
5. Mount the Grip Step XL
   Now, lift the 7″ × 54″ step into position. Next, slide carriage bolts through the step’s channel into bracket slots. Then, add washers and lock nuts, leaving them loose for centering.
   
6. Align and Torque
   Finally, center the step under the door opening. Meanwhile, ensure equal overhang on both sides. Then, torque carriage-bolt nuts to 10 ft-lbs. Next, return under the van and tighten all bracket hardware to 20 ft-lbs per the Luverne instructions.
   

By installing in this sequence, you guarantee a secure, rattle-free fit.
