The Step-Up sits over the top of a tire and gives you a non-skid 26 x 8.5 in platform to stand on while you load, strap or check a roof-mounted boat. Step height and tire width both adjust, the bright yellow finish keeps it visible, and it folds flat to ride in the trunk.

Specs at a glance

  • Weight capacity: 300 lb
  • Step size: 26 x 8.5 in
  • Tire width settings: 7.75, 8.75 and 9.75 in
  • Fit guideline: 3 in clearance above the tire, 24 in side to side
  • Does not fit: Subaru Outback, Honda CRV
  • Included: 1 folding Wheel Step-Up

Good to know

  • Measure the gap between the top of your tire and the wheel well first; it needs about 3 in to fit.
  • It is not listed for the Subaru Outback or Honda CRV, so owners of those vehicles should look at other options.

KayakDIY take: Being able to reach the middle of the roof makes strapping a boat down a lot safer. For more gear ideas, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
