Question:
I have a 2017 Ram 2500 Mega Cab that has factory running boards. Will these mount to the factory running board mounts? If so, is there additional installation parts to wire the power to the boards?

Expert Reply:
The Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards # AA3025165 use custom mounting brackets, not the factory mounts you have now. What you actually need is the # AA3047913 which comes with longer running boards to fit the Mega Cab and the mounting brackets required for installation. The running boards also include a wiring harness that connects directly to your vehicle battery via the door panel.
I have attached an installation video on a 2015 Ram 1500 below so you can see what the process is like.
