⚠️ Please Read Before Ordering – Big Ass Steps

Returns due to fitment or sizing issues require inspection, reconditioning, and brand-new packaging to make the product “like new” again—costs that are often avoidable by reviewing the details before ordering. Once a box has made a round trip, it can’t be reused, and each return requires hands-on work to restore the steps for resale.

Before ordering, please:

Returns for this item are subject to a restocking fee, and return shipping is the responsibility of the customer.

We promise: a few minutes of prep now saves everyone time, money, and frustration later (including your back).

Note: These steps will NOT work with Jeep Wranglers, Jeep Gladiators, or Ford Bronco SIDE doors as those doors do not open wide enough.

Say goodbye to the struggle of loading your large dog into your vehicle with Big Ass Steps! These are lightweight, compact, and portable dog steps are designed with the big dog owner in mind, supporting up to 200 pounds and weighing 8 lbs (4-step) or just under 13 lbs (5-step).

Before you buy

Will they fit your ride?

Loading from a rear hatch, cargo area, or truck bed? You’re in great shape — there’s no door to fight and nothing to measure. Just pick your size by height below.

Loading through a back-seat side door? One measurement decides it, and it is the single most common reason a set comes back to us:

19.25"  of clear door-sill width

The 4-Step is 18.9" across and the 5-Step is a fat 19". Hit either of those exactly and you have zero margin — so measure your door sill at its narrowest point and look for 19.25". The corners curve in, so the usable opening is always less than the door looks.

Three things that stop a back-seat fit even when the width is close:

  • Door swing — many rear doors only open to about 75°, so you never get the full sill.
  • Door rake — a steeply angled opening pushes the steps forward into the door.
  • Square to the vehicle — if the opening only lets them sit at an angle, they seat twisted, and twisted is not safe.

Measuring under 28"? Neither unit is right for you — below that the 4-Step has to stretch out so far it flattens toward a ramp and stops being stable underfoot. Minivans, sedans, and low crossovers usually land here.

The Challenges You Face
Lifting a hefty hound into the back of your SUV is no easy task. It’s a full-on workout that risks injury for both you and your fluffy friend. Traditional ramps can be bulky, heavy, and intimidating for dogs.

The Solution: Big Ass Steps
Big Ass Steps are your game-changer. No more strain on your back or your dog’s. These robust yet surprisingly lightweight steps offer a stable incline suitable for even the most sizable canines. The difference is clear – and your dog’s wagging tail will be the proof! Big Ass Steps are not just a product, they are a solution designed specifically for the needs of large dogs. The steps offer a combination of stability, portability, and ease of use that sets them apart from the competition.

The Benefits of a Compact Design
Unlike traditional ramps that hog your trunk space, Big Ass Steps fold down into a sleek, manageable size. The steps are easy to stow away, leaving room for both your dog(s) and your luggage.

More than Strong, It’s Dog-proof Strong!
Our steps are built to endure the daily leaps and bounds of your large breed, supporting up to 200 pounds without any trouble. The materials are chosen not only for their weight capacity but also for their resistance to wear and tear from claws and paws.

Quick and Easy
The steps are covered in a non-slip waterproof fabric, ensuring your big dog has a secure grip even in wet conditions. Despite their robust construction, they stay light enough for one person to handle — 8 lbs for the 4-step, just under 13 lbs for the 5-step. Lift them out, set them up, fold them away.

Fits Most Rides — And We Will Tell You Straight If Yours Is Not One
The steps adjust to work with most SUVs and pickup trucks. The 5-step versions work with pick-up trucks and lifted vehicles; the 4-step suits SUV cargo areas and lower loads. Back-seat side-door loading is the one case that needs a measurement before you order — see the fit box above. We would rather talk you out of a sale than take a return.

Your Ultimate Partner
Big Ass Steps are your ultimate partner for every big dog loading session. They transform what was once a daunting task into a simple, one-person operation.

Are you ready to make the switch to a simpler, safer, and more convenient way of loading your large breed dog into your vehicle? Put your faith in Big Ass Steps and let us transform your travel experience. Trust us, your dog will thank you!

4-step best for rise-heights of 28-34 inches; 5-step best for 34-40 inches. Both need 19.25 inches of clear width to rest flat at a back-seat side door. See picture gallery for full dimensions.

The Ecosystem

Part of the Big Ass lifeSPAN

Giant breeds don't get enough years. This is the four-part system built to add some.

SSupport — Joint Juice & Mobility Bites work from the inside out; Ruff Relief Cream soothes hot spots, calluses, and allergy flare-ups from the outside in.
PProtect — Big Ass Steps spare their joints the impact of jumping in and out of the truck; the Big Ass Boo Boo Recovery Collar protects healing wounds and hot spots from getting licked raw.
AAnchor — the Big Ass Harness spreads pressure across their frame instead of yanking it onto their neck.
NNest — orthopedic beds that support them through the ~half their life they spend lying down.

Support. Protect. Anchor. Nest. One dog, one system — a longer lifeSPAN.

FAQs

Is this easy for one small person to use?

These steps are super-light and compact, but don't be fooled! They've been used to load up Mastiffs, Newfies, German Shepherds and all sorts of other big ass dogs!

Will my dog be able to use these steps?

We're sure your dog can use the steps, but let's be honest - anything new will likely take some patience and training! Work with your pup and you (and your back) won't regret it!

Will the steps work from the side using the rear passenger door?

This is very vehicle-to-vehicle specific, but it is unlikely. Most rear passenger doors do not open wide enough to have room for the steps to sit securely on the rear door sill. They will NOT work with a Jeep Gladiator.

When will my preorder ship?

Each preorder has an estimated ship date listed on the product page. While we do everything possible to stick to that timeline, production and freight delays can sometimes pop up. As we get closer, we’ll keep you updated by email with the latest info, so you’re never left in the dark.

Why am I charged now instead of when it ships?

Preorders are charged up front to secure your spot in line. Think of it like a concert ticket—you lock in your seat before the show starts. This guarantees your Big Ass Steps are reserved for you and won’t sell out before you get them.

What happens if I order other items with my preorder?

Normally, all items would ship together once the preorder is ready. But because we love our Big Ass Family, we often send your other items out early as a courtesy (yep, on our dime!) so you don’t have to wait.

Can I cancel my preorder?

Absolutely—if you change your mind before your order ships, just reach out to us at [email protected]. We’ll be happy to help. Once the steps ship, our regular return policy applies.

How will I know when my preorder is on its way?

You’ll get an email with tracking details the moment your Big Ass Steps leave our warehouse. Until then, we’ll send updates along the way so you’re always in the loop.
