Assist Steps / Running Boards / Nerf Bars

I'm close to pulling the trigger on these. I wear a size 15 work boot, will there be enough room on the step for me? Or should I look more into the Rhino R10 boards?

I'm loving mine

Front step is a little over 15" wide, rear is over 11" wide (I don't remember the exact dimension from my research). Getting in and out, I have yet to literally put my entire foot on the step tread. I think you'd be fine, but I would suggest finding a retail source for these and take a look at them first given your shoe size.

15” wide or long?

15” wide or long?

15" wide (parallel to the truck) 4" deep (perpendicular to the truck)

Well I saw I truck around town with the RB20s and that did it for me. Ordered them the other day and installed them today. Ran into a small problem with the rocker threaded holes being full of crap and started to strip the bolts. I stopped and then ran and grabbed a tap to clean up the threaded holes (worked like a charm). Install was pretty straight forward and easy. Still debating where front to back I want to end up with the boards, but happy for now.

Installed N-Fab Podium LG’s

But then noticed this on the right side step after removing the packing material after install;

Needless to say N-Fab has already received an email. We’ll see how this goes.

I was looking at getting a set of these. Now that you've had them awhile, do you still like and recommend? What did you end up doing with the blemishes?

Sorry in the delay to reply, I was out of town. I really like them and glad I went with the Podium LG’s. Easy install and no problems with the replacement set. N-Fab Customer Service was great in the return process. I did have to wait a couple of weeks for the replacements because they were out of stock. It wasn't that big of a deal since I still had the blemishes on. The blemishes were returned.

How much did it run you? Where did you get it?

I ordered them directly through N-Fab's website.

https://n-fab.com/podium-steps

They were $464 when I ordered them. I checked with a local dealer before I order them and they wanted around $150 to install. Like I said in my post, easy install which I completed on my driveway without jacking up the truck.

I appreciate the response and hope you had fund recharging the batteries. lol

Great to hear that about the CS as that's a big pet peeve of mine, as most are going downhill. Once last question, are the steps themselves about the same height as the factory running boards or are they a little lower?

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

Truck came without factory boards, so I don't have a reference point. I just went out and measured, the bottom of the step tube hoop is 10" from the ground on the front step and 10.5" from the ground on the rear step. I have a stock extended cab with no lift or level.

Hope this helps

Appreciate it. Mine's been raised a little from Bilstein adjustable shocks and bigger rear blocks, so I am in the same boat on the measurement, because mine already sits higher. lol I was just curious as I am putting a 5" bracket suspension lift and was curious for my shorter girlfriend. Thanks again.

Quick question :

Are these running boards the ones for the crew cab Sierra 1500? I believe they are since there are 4 mounting brackets and it's 82 inches long.
