Just installed these on my 2017. They look good and hold my 200+ pounds. There are two reasons this is not a five-star review. First, the support brackets were mislabeled. This is not an easy feat since the "D" (driver's side) and "P" (passenger side) are stamped in the metal. This issue almost doubled my install time. Luckily, the instructions did have good pictures and I figured out that the support brackets were labeled backward. I had all the parts I needed, but had to switch sides. Once I did that, everything came together. The second (more minor) issue I have with these is the very visible pale-gold colored bolts/nuts/washers. The bars themselves look good, but seeing these makes the whole thing look a bit cheap. The manufacturer could have solved this by including stainless or even black hardware. I will probably hit the exposed parts of the hardware with some paint to cover them up.

UPDATE: we have now had these running boards for well over 6 months and are every bit as satisfied as day one! They have held up wonderfully! Would absolutely recommend!!

My husband and I purchased these running boards for his 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 crew cab. We were hesitant to make such a large purchase on the internet but we couldn't beat the prices! We took the dive and just made the purchase and so thankful that we did! My husband had these installed within minutes and they work perfect! He was very adamant that we get the kind with the bar in the middle for extra support. We have had these now for over a month and are very pleased with them! Would highly recommend!

I was looking for a set of running board for my truck when I found these. Reading some reviews, I decided to give these a try.

The running boards arrived in excellent condition, no dings, scrapes, scratches, or rust.

The installation was pretty quick. You just need to take the time to read the directions carefully before you start and sort your parts out.

They have been on the truck for over a year now and could not be happier with my purchase. They are extremely well built. Installation was quick and easy. They even look clean when the truck has not been washed in a few weeks. (see photos) I have had no issues with quality, rust, or any other problems. The off-set is the right height for my family to get in and out of the truck with no issues. The step is comfortable for me to maneuver in and out. It is also handy to use to get to the inside of the bed close to the cab.

I bought these fully aware that they could rust or get filled with water. they arent too bad. came together in one big box. no dents, no missing hardware. each bar is wrapped in different color plastic and labeled accordingly. Same with the brackets. had them hand tightened in about 30 min. I did watch some you tube videos, though, so i knew what i was getting into. I had enough room for mudflaps. maybe a 1/2" gap. Hardware and brackets seem pretty sturdy. They mount into preexisting holes in the body that are covered by tape at the factory. All hardware matched for me. nothing labeled wrong. If your truck was setup for factory side steps, all holes will line up, but your truck will already have a threaded insert at one hole, so you would need a different bolt for that one. my was not setup up for factory, so i was good. Now on to the design flaw that is probably causing the rust and water for everyone. 1st the plastic steps. They are not sealed well enough. underneath the steps, the metal is bent inward, the steps the are connected to the bottom of this "dent" with rivets and plastic rods molded into the back of the step. while this keeps the plastic step in place. it is not airtight. i have no doubt in my mind that if water is present, that water works its way in there. especially at driving speeds when it is raining or wet and even the car wash. since it has nowhere to go. the steps slowly fill up with water. I, hopefully, fixed this by prying up the plastic step a little bit and forcing some "great stuff" expanding foam insulation to waterproof it. only had the steps a couple of weeks, but have already got a ton of rain. time will tell. the other flaw, the hardware that attached the bottom of the sidestep to the bracket. potential water entry there. I just put a rubber washer under the other washers. hopefully that prevent water from that. As for hardware rusting complaints. havent had long enough to notice. As long as the black brackets, stay black, i honestly could care less if the bolt heads rust a bit. they are under the truck. out of sight, out of mind;)

The box came open and the driver side board had a dent between the steps. It was missing 2 washers and two lock washers. The instructions were confusing. Tip for installation: start with the driver side, secure all brackets but leave them loose, attach and secure the step bar, secure all bolts holding the brackets. Pay attention to the letters on the brackets, DF stands for driver front, PF stands for passenger front, PC is passenger center. Be careful with when placing the bolt bracket inside the chassis of the car, it can fall inside then it is difficult to retrieve. Hold it by the bolt and immediately add the plastic washer/insulator it will hold it in place while you add the other bolt into the nut. The driver side took about an hour to install, most of that time was trying to figure out how to install it, the passenger took me 20 minutes. Remove all bolts and washers and have them ready by where the bracket will be installed to avoid confusion on which hardware to use.
