Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner SD 108-122 Frame Steps & Acc.
Will these frame steps fit my specific Freightliner SD model year?
These frame steps are designed to fit Freightliner SD models 108, 114, and 122 from 2018 to current production years. However, compatibility can vary based on your truck's specific configuration, including sleeper size and chassis modifications. We recommend checking your frame rail measurements or contacting our support team with your VIN to ensure proper fitment before ordering.
What material are these frame steps made from, and how do they hold up to road salt and weather?
Most frame steps in this category are constructed from either heavy-duty aluminum or powder-coated steel. Aluminum options offer excellent corrosion resistance and lighter weight, while steel versions provide maximum strength with protective coating. Both materials are designed to withstand harsh road conditions, including salt exposure. For maximum longevity in severe winter climates, we recommend aluminum steps or ensuring regular cleaning of powder-coated steel options.
Do I need to drill holes in my frame rails to install these steps?
Many of our frame steps feature no-drill installation using existing frame holes or clamp-on mounting systems. However, some heavy-duty models may require drilling for optimal stability. Each product listing specifies the installation method. No-drill options typically take 30-45 minutes to install per side, while drill-required installations may take 1-2 hours. Basic hand tools are usually sufficient, though a drill and metal bits are needed for certain models.
What's the weight capacity of these frame steps?
Weight capacities typically range from 300 to 500 pounds per step, depending on the model and material. Steel steps generally support more weight than aluminum versions. Each product listing includes specific weight ratings. For drivers regularly carrying tools or equipment while entering the cab, we recommend choosing steps rated for at least 400 pounds to ensure long-term durability and safety.
Can I get these steps in chrome or other finishes to match my truck?
Frame steps are available in several finishes including polished aluminum, chrome-plated steel, black powder coat, and raw aluminum. Chrome options provide the showroom look but require more maintenance. Black powder-coated steps offer a professional appearance with minimal upkeep. Some models also feature anti-slip tread plates or grip tape surfaces for added safety in wet conditions.
