Overview
The Smittybilt C1489CC-SS is a textured matte black nerf step set for the 2014 to 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500. It fits the Silverado in Custom, High Country, LS, LT, LTZ, SSV and WT versions, and the Sierra in Base, Denali, SLE and SLT versions.
The steps are a four- or six-step drop-down design on a 3-inch main tube, with cleated step plates. They are rated for loads of up to 445 pounds and suit lifted trucks, where the step sits higher off the ground.
The unit is one piece and bolts onto the frame, so no brackets need to be pre-assembled. The wheel-to-wheel length covers the full space between the wheels.

Pickup-specific considerations
Pickups carry their weight high, and a nerf step adds a place to rest a foot when the cab is high off the ground. On a lifted 1500, a drop-down design can help with entry, but it also lowers the part of the truck most exposed to brush and rocks. Think about the trails you drive and whether a lower step or a higher one fits your routine.
Because the unit bolts to the frame, the mounting area carries most of the stress. Check the fasteners after the first few runs and again after tire changes or suspension work. Look for surface rust under the step plate, and fix it before it spreads. Cleaning mud from the plate also helps you spot bends early.
- Compare drop height with your ground clearance
- Check clearance to tires at full steering lock
- Inspect the frame mounts after rough trips
- Keep fasteners and a torque wrench handy
