These worked out great on my sprinter van. Way cheaper then the other van sites, and don’t hang down as for more clearance/less damage.
by:
2015 Ram 2500
Great product, went on easy, and looks great on our 2015 Sprinter 2500. Hardest part is drilling the pinch weld holes.
by:
Thanks again etrailer for not providing the brackets with the steps as listed. NO CUSTOM INSTALL KIT COMES WITH THESE STEPS. JUST STEPS!!!

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.

Wow, these tunning boards look great on your F-250 Steve! These Aries are built to last, that's for sure!

Very stout! Rear mount is a little fiddly but truly no issue. 35 minute install solo.

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:

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:
2020 Ford Transit T250
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:
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!

Super easy to install, No drilling, only took about 2 hours. Highly recommend if you don't want to drill your pinch weld
by:
2007 Toyota Tundra
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.

real fast delivery. Good experience wit
by:
Nice steps and mounts. Took longer to install than I expected but I am happy with results. I wish the enclosed instructions had bigger pictures
by:

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 !
