@MikeL Mike I just finished installing the passenger side on my Dodge Durango 26 I had to make modifications to the front bracket in the due to wiring harness running along the side wall but it looks good ??
by:
The boards are excellent, but it didn't fit the vehicle as described. Had to make several modifications to the brackets in order to install. Suggested installation time is 2+ hours but more like 6+ due to modifications. Best installed on a lift.

Heck yeah! Those look great on there, Andy! Did your truck not come with running boards? Or did you not like the factory ones?

Step is sturdy … POC on Ram is not … added bracing to underside of cab to remedy. Is a nice step with a lot of leeway to adjust to exactly how you prefer. However I recommend manufacturer provide the additional support bracing as the step will appear to shift with weight applied.

Got the running boards on look great and they are solid as hell, jump on them and no flex what so ever. Installed on 2019 Ford F-250 Crew Cab.

Those look great on your Ridgeline, Owen! Like they were meant to be there. ^___^ What were you running into with that rear mount?

by:
2022 ford F-250 Super Duty
These arrived about an hour before sundown and it was pretty easy to get them on while I had light. Took me a second to realize there was different steps in the directions for two different models but once I pulled my head out it was simple and everything fit perfectly on my Ford F-250. They don't bow or bend and I'm 220 lbs. The finish and texture are perfect for the job they will be doing. There are fancier running boards but these are perfect if your truck is a work truck like mine. Highly recommend.

@Clark That is a solid truck, I am glad you are liking the after market better.

Okay, the quality is perfect, the ease of installation was so easy. I watched their install video and went to work, took me a couple of hours but the running boards have been so worth it.
by:

Nice running boards and pretty straight forward installing. The issue I have with them is they were advertised a no drill custom mounting kit when in fact 12 3/8” holes were required to be drilled for the install. I purchased these believing I would not be drilling holes laying on my back under my van, this was not the case even though they were advertised no drill installation.
by:
2007 Toyota Tundra
Everything fit great and installation was easy. I'm 67 and the hardest part was getting up and down from the garage floor. Standing on the back end to the running board to reach into the box of my pickup was a bit questionable. It didn't feel like it was going to hold my weight. The rest of the running board between supports was adequate but could be more solid. As long as you're standing between the supports you shouldn't have an issue.
by:
After less than 6 months, all bolts loosened and/or fell off and needed to be replaced with lock nuts/bolts. This should be a stock item. All but 2 had to be replaced.
by:
Exactly what was wanted. You said they would fit and just bolt on, no drill or other, and they did. Like the way they look and like the way they feel. The step up feels secure! Pleased with the product. Thank you!

Really happy with these steps. They are very easy to mount even for someone like me who always ends up working on things after the sun goes down. They have very good grip in any weather conditions I’ve been in but are still usable in bare feet as well. My only complaint is there is no adjustment to the height and on my particular truck there is a larger gap between the kick plate and cab than I would have in an ideal world. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a solid side step that has a different look than the normal tube style on most trucks.

I really like these running boards. Very simple install. UPS delivered at around 5:50 and I completed install at 6:45. Would recommend running boards for a single cab F350 !

Thank you very much for reaching out to us.
The running boards are awesome! They were easy to install, my father in law helped me put them on. They look great.
I put them on my wife's truck, she loves them, "but" there's always that right, lol.
Her only complaint is the bolts, she wished they were black also, but yes she does love them and they look great.

Very nice with lots of room to step with boots on. And made a big difference keeping road debris from hitting rocker panels. Top notch fit, form and function.
by:

Product arrived as promised with 2 packages, 1 for the running boards, and 1 for the brackets. Arrived in perfect condition and was built a lot heavier than I expected. After unpacking and reading the great instructions, it took about 15 minutes to install each side. I would recommend these for anyone looking for a nice wide full-length step to get into your truck.

Easy to install and they look great!

Do you have a question about this Nerf Bars - Running Board?
  • 2020 Dodge Durango GT OEM Cladding Skirt Running Board Fitment
    I have some running boards that will fit, but the DeeZee NXc Running Boards w Custom Installation Kit # DZ16201-16241 aren't compatible with the OEM cladding skirt on your 2020 Dodge Durango GT. Instead you need the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards # AA46FR which sit lower and further out so they will work - I confirmed this with my contact at Aries. These aren't the exact same ad the NXc but they do have the same general design.

  • Aries Running Boards that Fit 2025 Dodge Durango GT with OE Cladding
    Hey William, I did some checking and no the # AA46FR does not fit with the OE side skirts but we do have the part # AA2061031 which does fit your 2025 Dodge Durango with the OE side skirts. Is the Durango harder to get into?

  • Best Running Boards For 2025 Dodge Durango GT With OE Side Skirts
    Hey John, thanks for reaching out. I believe the GT model of the 2025 Durango does have the OE side skirts, but we would definitely want you to verify before ordering. Take a look at the video I linked. It shows running boards on a model with the side skirts, so you should be able to look at that and tell if you have them or not. Provided you do have the side skirts, you will want the following: - Aries RidgeStep Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit - 6-1/2" Wide - Powder Coated Steel...

  • Will Aries AeroTread Running Boards Fit 2025 Durango R/T
    Hi Duane; the AeroTread Running Boards # AA2061031 fit the 2025 Durango if you do not have OE side skirts. I believe the R/T comes with the side skirts so they would not fit. For running boards that will fit with the side skirts I recommend the Aries RidgeStep # AA46FR instead.

  • Will DeeZee Running Boards Fit 2023 Durango R/T
    At this time DeeZee has not confirmed if the NXc Running Boards # DZ16201-16241 will fit the 2023 model. DeeZee only lists these fitting the 2011-2022 models of the Durango. Aries lists their running boards as fitting the 2011-2024 models, and I don't know of any changes that would prevent it, so I'm willing to bet these fit. You're certainly welcome to try, we just can't guarantee they will work. For running boards that are guaranteed to fit you may want to check out one of these offerings...
