Purpose-engineered brackets mount directly to factory chassis points—eliminates guesswork, drilling, or fabrication required with universal mounting kits. Chassis-mounted design provides superior strength compared to body-mounted alternatives—distributes load to structural chassis rails rather than thin body panels. Forward\/backward adjustment accommodates door positioning variations and personal preferences—ensures step positioned for comfortable entry\/exit. Inward\/outward adjustment enables fine-tuning step height and body clearance—optimizes ground clearance while maintaining accessible step height. Black powder coating matches side step finish providing cohesive appearance. Compatible with Ford Ranger PX (2011-2015), PX2 (2015-2018), PX3 (2018-2022) and Mazda BT-50 UP (2011-2015), UR (2015-2020) dual cab models sharing common chassis platform.
