Assist Steps / Running Boards / Nerf Bars

They barely stick out at all and the way they mount you can move them out or in a bit.

From the picture, they look like they stick out quite a bit. Can they be brought in more? Was really thinkin of gettin these. Canadian price is ridiculous though.

Mine are out about all the way. I bet there's a good 1"-1.5" adjustment inwards. I just lined it up with the rocker. I might adjust them in a bit.

A lot of pics. My OCD got to me and I moved them in 1/2".

which way to go ? GoRhino RB10 or Westin ProTraxx 5" ??? they both look good .

currently have the Dee Zee NXT and you guys with the GO Rhino steps are making me think of taking mine off and buying a set of those.

Only problem is i don't want to have 900 bucks tied up in side steps...

Cheapest I found so far on the RB10's is $798. plus the taxman.

Ha. I removed a post I made. I was having a very hard time getting the driver side straight. The board was twisting - flat at the front and angled out towards the back. I took it off and put it on the ground and it was still twisted. Went so far as calling the seller about a return. Then, I put a level on each bracket. For some reason the rocker is just not level. Ended up shimming the brackets to make it all level and it looks great now!

I'm not a fan of running boards but they can make it a lot easier to get in the truck, especially with a level and larger tires. I actually like the look of the RB10's but how do you like them in use? They're so close to the height of the truck do they make it easier to get in and out or do they just get in the way?

Function is great. There's a nice platform especially getting out of the truck. I mainly bought them to save my seats when jumping out and for rocker panel chip protection. The step is great though. Btw, I have a 2.25" level and 33s.

Thanks! I think they're the best looking alternative. I hated the look of the OEM steps and got rid of them. I'd like amp steps but don't want to spend that much dough plus they'd do nothing to protect the truck from door dings and rock chips.

I've had both designs. The old school round on my 08 Sierra 1500 SLT that I bought from dealer and installed myself to save a couple hundred and the flat newer type on my 14 All-Terrain that I just traded in on my 2016 SLT. All three were original GMC parts put on 1500 double cabs with reg 6.6'bed. Personally, I like the old school better for looks and function (but I'm an old 59 year old). They seemed sturdier also. I'm finding the ones on the 2016 easier to used then the ones on the 14 though I don't know why. I believe the bodies (fenders, cab, bed panels) are the same on the 14 as they are on the 2016 but I'm not positive of that. Lights/grill are all new but think the sides are unchanged. Anyway, my wife and I prefer having the steps (standard equipment on 2016's SLT's). Makes entering and exiting much easier plus they look pretty good.
