Lots of good brands out there... best thing to do is look thru readers rigs and find a brand you like the looks of.



I got the Mopar diamond plate boards & flaps. Dealer gave me a good price & I wanted to get something on before I got a bunch of rock chips!

I love them... . they look great and are sturdy, adjustable and no rock chips!!!!



Good Luck!

Tough country boards look similar to mine.

Mine's not a 3rd gen... But back in 96 I put on a set of DeeZee's and they are the best board I've ever had on any pickup I've owned (3 so far). 200+ pounds jumping on the boards only makes the truck rock. They still look good and the mounts are solid. One tip is to make sure you paint and silicone any drill holes. I also siliconed the front "flap" to the wheel well to keep any water from collecting behind it.

ONKI or simular,even the tread pattern matches the drop in liner. bumper step pads, floor mats and bed rail caps. Light are really a plus also. At first I didnt think so , but anyone unfamiliar with the rig can get in and out alot easier in nasty weather at night ! BTW , wirthem in to the cargo lamp feed for best results. (even put a set a cheap fog lamps under the hood on the cross braces and use the same relay)
