I HAVE A 2005 H2 THAT HAS 37 INCH **** CEPEK FUN COUNTRYS WITH THE FRONT RAISED 2 INCHES BY MODIFICATIONS TO THE TORTION BARS.  I WANT TO KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS IF THERE IS ANYWHERE I CAN GET BRACKETS TO RAISE UP MY CHROME SIDESTEPS UP CLOSER TO THE SIDE RAIL BARS JUST ABOVE MY SIDESTEPS. I WANT THE SIDE STEPS ABOUT 1 INCH FROM THE BLACK SIDE RAIL FOR MAXIMUM GROUND CLEARANCE. THANKS, STEVE

No I have not seen anyone do that yet.  The side steps are not made to go off road because they cannot handle the load of the truck like the rocker bars that are above them.  But I would think if you could find a fabricating shop to do it, it should not be to expensive.  I just take mine off before I go off road and put them back on when I am done.

Hey Steve! Welcome. You can raise them but it will take alittle modification of the mounting brackets . There is 8 bolts per side, so you would need to drill out 16 holes to decrease the clearance. I don't thank anyone makes brackets, that is, none that I have seen.

If you are planning to go off-road, it's recommended to remove them. You have secondary bar that protects the rocker panels from damage. it's much stronger than the tube steps and can take some heavy abuse. Also, you can buy aftermarket rocker panel bars that will replace the stock ones and they come with a step!



Hope that helps,
