How to easily remove the side steps from a Dodge RAM 1500.

Model: RAM 1500 MK 5, DT - Years 2019-2026
Part: Body

If you feel that the side steps weigh down the look of your Dodge Ram 1500 (and you are tall enough to get in without them), this video will show you how to remove them. You don't even need to lift the vehicle, as it is high enough for an agile person to get underneath without too much difficulty. The side steps are attached to the body with only three screws. It might be a good idea to spray them with W-40 before removing them, but they should come off without too much trouble. Have someone help you when unscrewing the bolts or you might get stuck under the side step, which is not too light. Repeat the process on the other side. Job done.
