Wil The Aries RidgeStep Running Boards Interfere With Mud Flaps On A 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Updated 11/03/2025 | Published 01/19/2025 >
Question:
I’m curious if these RidgeStep running boards are compatible with Sprinters that have mudflaps. If not do you offer a different modeling RidgeSteps that are compatible with mudflaps? Thank you, Chris

Hey Christopher,
The Aries RidgeStep Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit # AA86ZB doesn't list any fitment issues with mudflaps but it does look like you could potentially run into interference issues with the front mud flaps if they sit outside of the wheel well. Would you be able to email me a picture of your mud flaps so I can see how far back they sit?
