I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards - 6-1/2" Wide - Black Powder Coated Steel # AAC3696 and the VersaTrac Custom Mounting Kit for Aries RidgeStep Running Boards and AdvantEdge Nerf Bars # AA2055113 will not fit your 2013 Chevy Express 3500 Van with a 155-inch wheelbase.

However, I recommend the DeeZee Rough Step Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit - 7" Wide - Steel - Black # DZ15300S-15316. The DeeZee Rough Step is confirmed to fit your 2013 Chevrolet Express Van (with either a 135 or 155 inch wheelbase) and has a black design like the Aries RidgeStep. As far as the installation, the DeeZee Rough Step Running Boards install on the frame of your vehicle.

Answer 7

The Curt hitch part #13358 is recessed under the step bumper like you can see in the attached picture but it's not recessed to the point it wouldn't work well. It wouldn't interfere with the camera setup either.
