@Combatpzman so, I checked underneath, and if you want to lift from the pinch weld, there's not enough room to fit the factory scissor jack. That being said, I removed the factory jack almost immediately after I got my truck, and I now keep a small floor jack tucked behind the back seat. I find scissor jacks unstable, and you're limited to lifting at the pinch weld only. If I rease at the rear, I place my floor jack under the rear lower control arm, and for the front, I go to the subframe or LCA, depending on what I want to do. So I get the question, but it's not important if you're well equipped. Hope that's helpful!
@Combatpzman actually, some of the steps from Ionic and Steelcraft have special hardware for the passenger side, for if you have the hybrid. Those are more traditional steps, and they hang a little lower than these. They cost a bit less than mine, but they're also not nearly as stout, so they don't offer the same kind of protection. 🙂
Forgot to mention that my DSS Sliders don't attach to the same locations as most other steps out there. Mine attach at much stronger locations. I think it might even be strong enough to raise the vehicle by placing a jack on the bottom of my brackets, but I don't want to make that claim without checking the CAD on the truck to see if it would be strong enough, and safe jack locations. And yes, these are approved for installation on the hybrid.
It will be good for my little son
@papillon5537 perfect for the kids for sure!!
Does this kind of step guard block access to the jack points?
@Combatpzman great question! I'll check it out and report back!

@@ToddsTruckLife Thanks, I was just curious. I have the hybrid, so I don't think any of the steps work anyway.
