Congrats on the nice new ride! And Josh, that can be a common frustration, but Romik brackets are pretty stout and they use isolators at the pinch weld to reduce vibration. As long as you torque the bolts down correctly and use the included washers, you should have a quiet ride.

We’ve had guys in lifted Rams say the Romiks stay rock-solid and don't bend or vibrate. You can even take them through a car wash as long as you wipe them down afterwards with some Carnauba wax as Romik recommends.

For your new 2025 crew cab Ram 3500, I'd look into the Romik RB2-T Running Boards w/ Custom Install Kit 6" Wide - Black # RMK66DR (also available in silver # RMK46DR). This kit comes with everything you need, along with drop brackets that allow you to adjust to your desirable height.

I like that the boards are aluminum, so they won't add much weight at all. Heavy stainless steel boards tend to bend and cause warpage over time, so you won't have to worry about that here. What do you think?

Hey Josh, did you decide to go with the Romik running boards for your Ram? I'm curious to know if they helped keep your ride quiet like we talked about. Your feedback could really help others who are worried about noise too!
