Just for your information, if you're thinking about using your old H3 sidestep bars on the new Alpha, they won't fit... The brake line for the V8 has been re-routed right over where the old step mounts used to be.
So be prepared to buy new ones. The chrome ones are about $700 from the dealer so you may wanna figure that into the financing before signng on the dotted line.

I guess the side steps mount differently than the GM rock rails. I did just what Mike said - traded in my '07 Adventure for an Alpha and switched everything over including the sliders - simple bolt-off and bolt-on deal.

Hummer Dad , FYI There is a right and a left, one has a notch for the brake line the other doesnt. I have steps from a 2007 on my Alpha and I thought I was screwed at first too! Hope this works for you.
