I had the same thoughts when I was looking for boards, the oem boards hang too low and are thicker than my liking. I am glad I spent the extra money for the chrome on the side, they match the body side molding and door handles great. These are a breeze to install and you can adjust them in and out from the rocker panel. If you wanted to drill new holes on the bracket you could adjust the height, but If you made them higher it would be harder to use getting in and out of the truck.

 

Here are some pics, excuse the dirt.

Being 6'2' I've never given running boards a chance cause they always seemed to make entering more awkward. Do i use them?? Do I just step over them??

 

Maybe it's just the pictures. But they look like they would also help protect the lower door panels from any rocks thrown from the tires too.

 

OP do they seem like that would be the case?

 

If so this may be something I would consider.

I would not have them on without the lift, I like the way the truck looks without them better. The pros are they help protect the rocker panels of the truck and they save the driver seat from me sliding in and out of the truck without them.

I'm currently deployed and jumped the gun on buying my dream truck over the past week. I bought a 2014 Chevy Silverado LT Z71 Rocky Ridge Alpine Edition for when I come home. I bought it used with 2771 miles but I feel that I got a pretty good deal on it considering the Rocky Ridge Alpine package is an additional $11,000 upgrade. The Rocky Ridge Alpine Edition comes with the following:[*]- Alpine High Performance 4” Suspension Lift Kit

[*]- Pro Runner Brushed Aluminum Rear Shocks

[*]- Full Coil Over Spring

[*]- Power Side Steps

[*]- 20” Custom Wheels

[*]- 35” ATX Tires

[*]- Matte Finish Carbon Fiber Interior Trim

[*]- Stainless Steel Dual Exhaust with Flowmaster Muffler

[*]- Speedometer Recalibrated

[*]- Tire Sensors Recalibrated

[*]- Road Force Balancing

[*]- 4 Wheel Alignment

[*]- RR Windshield Logo

 

Curious to hear whether or not I got a good deal from everyone else though. I bought it for exactly $37,000 and again it has 2771 miles. Only thing I don't like is that I was looking for a crew cab. Also, I wanted the center console rather than the jump seat as well as leather but I plan on making several modifications.

I first say that I feel your pain as I too am stuck on deployment, second I say you got a great deal because you said " Dream Truck " that's all need be said!

Drove to the cabin yesterday in the Wisconsin Northwoods. Took a few pics but this was the best. Thought I'd share

My 15 LTZ. Temporary wheels until I get some forces! PTM coming soon.

What wheels are those?? I think those would look sick on 35s and a 6inch lift

Looks like OEM Tahoe / Burban LTZ 22" rims to me.

    • I have A 2020 1500 5.3 8 speed. LTZ. Transmission problems since 60,000 miles. Started when I go to store in morning to get my morning coffee before work leave truck running get back in put it in drive/ rev no movement step on gas a little slams into gear. Put in neutral step on gas little shake then put in gear and gose.  Shut truck off start .. ok now at stop light stop truck after a few seconds feel a little kick if that doesn’t happen stuck in 3/4 gear shut truck off wait few seconds and start usually ok again. If you down shift manually ok as long as you get into 1st before stop. If not it kicks . I WANT A NEW TRANSMISSION. Now I want a new truck it just hit 80,000 IDK IF ILL BUY CHEVY CAUSE THEY STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO RECALL . Oh I’ve changed the fluid and filter 3 times now. And yes used mobile 1 not ac/delco cause it’s not meeting the requirements that mobile is did use ac/delco filter 
    • Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.     
    • I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion. 
    • While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
    • Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
