Frequently Asked Questions About International S2200-S2600 Frame Steps & Acc.

Will these frame steps fit my specific International S2200-S2600 model year?

Most frame steps and accessories in this category are designed to fit International S2200-S2600 series trucks from 2017 to present. However, there can be variations based on your truck's specific configuration, such as cab style (day cab vs. sleeper) and fuel tank placement. We recommend checking the product description for exact year ranges or contacting our support team with your VIN to confirm fitment before ordering.

What material are these frame steps made from, and how do they hold up against rust?

The majority of our International S2200-S2600 frame steps are constructed from either heavy-duty aluminum or powder-coated steel. Aluminum options provide excellent corrosion resistance without any coating needed, while steel versions feature durable powder coating or chrome plating for rust protection. For maximum longevity in harsh weather conditions or road salt exposure, we typically recommend aluminum steps, though properly maintained steel options can last for years.

Do I need to drill holes or modify my frame to install these steps?

Most frame steps for the S2200-S2600 series are designed as bolt-on accessories that utilize existing frame holes and mounting points. Installation typically requires basic hand tools and takes 30-60 minutes per side. Some universal or aftermarket options may require drilling, but this information is clearly stated in each product description. We always recommend professional installation if you're uncomfortable working with frame-mounted accessories.

What's the weight capacity of these frame steps, and will they support heavier drivers?

Standard frame steps for International S2200-S2600 trucks are engineered to support 300-500 pounds per step, depending on the specific model and construction. Heavy-duty options are available that can support up to 750 pounds. The weight rating is listed in each product's specifications. For commercial use or heavier loads, we recommend selecting steps with reinforced mounting brackets and gusseted designs.

Are there different tread patterns available, and which is best for wet or icy conditions?

Yes, we offer several tread options including diamond plate, punched holes, and aggressive grip patterns. For maximum traction in wet or icy conditions, we recommend steps with punched hole designs or those featuring replaceable rubber tread inserts. Diamond plate provides good grip and easy cleaning, while serrated edges offer additional slip resistance. Consider your primary operating environment when selecting - open tread designs allow snow and mud to fall through rather than accumulating on the step surface.
