I'm pretty sure the 07-13 fit the 00-06 but I would call them to confirm.
Nope :(

Well then that answers that.... I know FTS makes some but have to call them up. Mention GMFS for the discount, should be around $425. Little cheaper than Cognito or you could el cheapo and use generic brand ebay. I don't trust those on ebay so I get a 4wd brand name.

Yea just gonna quit screwing around with my poor man's lift and spending more and more to make it right.

Think I'm gonna try that RC 6" NTD kit. Time to save my nickels.

I've got the same issue as you with my UCA's, pretty much resting on them. Riding right at 40 1/2" fender height, running 285/75/16's right now. I'm likely to turn the bars down a turn, drop the front by about an inch

I'm 6'7 and currently about 310lbs, and have to swing my right leg up and slide onto the seat to get in. I'd love to go higher (as in, a 10" FTS lift, 3" body lift, and 40's.... or just a full SAS), but I really don't want to get nerf bars to step on.

I took the running boards off because it was awkward for me to try to step on them and duck to get into my 'Burban. My wife has a lifted Expedition with running boards, and I'm either bashing my knee on the door or hitting my head when I get into it. There just isn't any way to quickly get in.

What would be the absolute cat's ass would be a motorized step, one that swings down and OUT, kinda like a motorcycle foot peg. Open the door, it swings out, close the door, it retracts. I know the new Escalades have retractable running boards, but they are just too damn awkward with my size 15's.

I would order new UCAs first cause they help with any size lift. Even with a 6" and you want to run keys/spacers to get 8" you can use the UCAs.

And for the guy who has never heard of amp steps....

I have heard of them, and have checked them out at a local shop..... but with the gunboats I wear, getting in is fine, but getting out is awkward. I don't just slip into the seat comfortably, I duck a little, and have the seat all the way back and about as low as it'll go so I don't hit my head on the headliner when I hit a bump.
