Running Boards

[RClark]

Am getting a new 2015 2500 long bed crew cab. Want running boards but am having trouble. Can't find ones similar to what I had on my 2002. Full length wheel to wheel, no nerf bars, want something I can't slip thru. If they stop at the end of the cab I can go with additional steps on the bed.Ive had little luck from the online vendors and can't find Stull, the makers of these. Anybody got any suggestions?

Good luck! I have not seen anything to fit the 4th gen trucks.

So I made my bed step to reach toolbox and hitch.

Running boards or Steps, Running boards don't work in MN, the Snow fills them, I like the Factory steps on My 13/14/15 they are flat with traction rubber, and don't hold snow or Ice, I don't see snow and ice being a problem in CA........

RClark,
Have you looked at www.RunningboardWharehouse.com
I purchased a set from them for my previous 2500 LB. Was happy with them.

I have the Willmore boards on my 2012 dually crew cab longbox. They go from wheel to wheel one piece. They still look good and I like them okay.

My 2012 has a set from LUVERNE.

It is hard to beat the Mopar steps. I got them on my 14 and love them.

I like the running boards that were/are on my 04.5/07, but they don't exist for my 2014, and I had to go with DeeZee to have a full step and incorperated mudd flaps. The only thing I don't like about them are that they are weaker than the OEM option that I installed on my other CTD's.

I went to the AMP Research retracting step and have never regretted it. A bit pricy, but well worth it.

On a Dually?

 

[JConquest]

Not on a Dually. Not sure it would make a difference as the auto retractable step mounts cleanly to the frame and extends to back of cab.

I have the Luverne stainless steel steps on my 2014 Ram 3500 dually. They are wheel to wheel and work great. I also have the Luverne steps on my 2004 3500 dually and they are still in great condition and they also work great. They are expensive but they hold up well.

Problem solved. New truck comes with factory wheel to wheel boards.

Need pics and part numbers, please.

Here are pics of the Luverne steps I have on my 2014 dually. The part nr are: 480933 (front steps) and 481334 (box extensions).

Thanks for all the responses . New truck has factory wheel to wheel boards.

How do you like your running boards? My new (2015) truck also came with wheel to wheel running boards, unfortunately they only mount to the body and there's no support behind the cab. When stepping onto boards behind the cab to reach the 5th wheel hitch the running board flexes and is already getting loose. I can see them ripping off in the future. I wish they mounted to the frame. Anyone else have that issue??

I have the stock chrome tube running boards on my new truck. I hate them. Not enough room to get a firm foot hold to get into the truck and even less to get out. They don't go far enough back to step up and reach the hitch either.
My Ford F-150 Platinum had the fold away running boards. I loved them as they dropped down to the proper height for a step and lots off room for foot hold. Pricey for sure, but I still may swap them out.

No issues yet. A 2015 should have a 36 month warranty, take it back to the dealer and make them fix it properly.
