Flatline Van Co Sprinter Van Side Steps

The Flatline Van Co Sprinter Van Side Steps are bolt-on running boards built for 2007+ Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, and 3500XD vans on 144-inch, 170-inch, and 170-inch Extended wheelbases across Low and High Roof configurations, with a dedicated variant for the Winnebago Revel. Constructed from a combination of 2-inch by 2-inch square steel tube and 1.75-inch round steel tube, finished in powder-coated steel, the steps mount high and tight to the body for a clean profile without sacrificing step surface area. Three fitment variants are available: Sprinter 144-inch, Sprinter 170-inch, and Winnebago Revel.

Traction Where It Counts

Both the driver-side and passenger-side steps feature dimpled tread plates built directly into the step hoops. The dimple pattern creates mechanical grip underfoot rather than relying on adhesive tape or bolt-on grating that can loosen over time. On a stock Sprinter the added step height alone reduces the reach required to enter the cab; on a lifted or 4x4 build, where the sill sits noticeably higher, that reduction in reach translates directly into less strain on knees and hips every time you get in or out.

Asymmetric Design Built Around Real-World Use

The driver-side step runs 33.5 inches long and is intentionally cut short of the rear wheel arch. That gap is a deliberate clearance zone. A Flatline Van Co Apex, Wheel Wrap, or Standard Side Ladder mounts there without any modification to the steps or the ladder. The passenger-side step runs 53.5 inches long, providing a wider boarding surface on the side that typically sees more frequent use for loading gear and passengers. The passenger step is also designed to pair with the Flatline Van Co Step Extension, which is sold separately.

DIY-Friendly Bolt-On Installation

The Sprinter Van Side Steps use a mount bracket system and arrive with all hardware required for installation, so no sourcing of additional fasteners is needed. On Sprinter variants, the brackets attach to existing body structure. On the Winnebago Revel variant, the steps mount directly to the Revel's factory mount brackets, eliminating the need to drill new holes in the body. Installation guides are available for each variant (144-inch, 170-inch, and Revel) and the bolt-on design is intended to be completed without professional fabrication equipment.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Flatline Van Co Sprinter Van Side Steps suit owners of 2007 and newer Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, and 3500XD vans on 144-inch or 170-inch wheelbases (including 170-inch Extended), in Low or High Roof configuration, as well as Winnebago Revel owners who want a high-clearance, ladder-compatible running board that installs without fabrication. They are particularly well-suited to lifted or 4x4 Sprinter builds where the factory sill height makes entry difficult.

These steps are not compatible with the Mercedes-Benz E-Sprinter. Sprinter passenger vans equipped with rear heat or air conditioning may require modifications before installation. Buyers with that configuration should confirm fitment before ordering. The Flatline Van Co Step Extension referenced for the passenger side is a separate product and is not included.

Common Questions

Which Sprinter model years and body configurations are compatible?

The Sprinter Van Side Steps fit 2007 and newer Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, and 3500XD vans on 144-inch, 170-inch, and 170-inch Extended wheelbases in both Low and High Roof configurations. A dedicated variant is also available for the Winnebago Revel. The steps are not compatible with the E-Sprinter.

Will these side steps work on a lifted or 4x4 Sprinter?

Yes. The Sprinter Van Side Steps are designed to provide easy access to both stock and lifted Sprinter vans. The step height and tube construction are intended to handle the additional sill height that comes with a suspension lift or 4x4 conversion, making entry and exit easier regardless of ride height.

Are these steps compatible with Flatline Van Co side ladders?

Yes. The Sprinter Van Side Steps are compatible with the Flatline Van Co Apex Ladder, Wheel Wrap Side Ladder, and Standard Side Ladder without any modifications to either the steps or the ladder. The driver-side step is intentionally cut short of the rear wheel arch to preserve the clearance needed for ladder mounting.

What comes in the box, and is any additional hardware required?

All mounting hardware required for installation is included with the Sprinter Van Side Steps. On the Winnebago Revel variant, the steps mount directly to the Revel's existing factory brackets. The Flatline Van Co Step Extension, which pairs with the passenger-side step, is a separate product and is not included.

How involved is the installation, and are professional tools required?

The Sprinter Van Side Steps use a bolt-on mount bracket system designed for DIY installation. Separate installation guides are available for the 144-inch, 170-inch, and Winnebago Revel variants. No professional fabrication equipment is required for standard Sprinter fitments; however, Sprinter passenger vans with rear heat or air conditioning may require additional modifications.
