APEX - Rock Sliders / Side Steps - 170 - Drop Down with Shorter Driver Side - Steel
SKU:
2022323582
The APEX Series Drop-Down Rock Sliders are built for 170" Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, including Extended models, combining rugged rocker-panel protection, easier access, and excellent ground clearance. The 9" drop-down step makes entry and exit easier, while the shorter 83" driver-side design provides clearance for side ladders, water tank drains, and exhaust systems. Designed for off-road, overland, and vanlife use, these steel sliders protect the lower body from rocks, debris, and trail hazards while providing reinforced support for safe lifting.
