I just added the N-Fab RKR rails with removable steps. They are the tightest ive found so far with the added bonus of being able to remove the steps whenever you need to.

Those look great. I wish they had something like that for a regular cab. We have so few choices.

This is what I've been looking for, I had originally looked at the Lund Rock Rail Guards because I didn't think I wanted steps and just wanted the protection from the tires throwing rocks, and on the trail.  Having the removable step option is great.

 

How functional are the steps?  They look really close to the cab/rockers.  Looks like they would work getting in the truck, but not as well trying to get out of the truck?  I found the stock running boards to be kind of useless for getting out of the truck and would often slide right off them, getting salt/dirt all up the back of my legs.

Getting in is great. Getting out isnt bad, just need to be observant. I love em. FYI, order the steps seperatley because they package them lose with the rails during shipping and can damage the rails.

I found the GM 6" rectangular steps (84106505) from an online dealer for $567 shipped, wondering if that's a good price?

I have a few problems with those steps.  Looks like they have plastic end caps, it's best to have welded end caps.  It's chromed something.  If it's chromed steel, you'll probably start seeing rust dots in the chrome in a couple of years.  They have a 12-month warranty which is horrible.  Most aftermarket steps have a three to lifetime warranty.

Ok, thanks for the feedback.  Anyone suggest an aftermarket version similar to the GM 6"steps??

I have the 6" Premium iboards on my truck. I also had their 4" standard boards on my previous truck. I like both and the fact that they won't rust. However, with harsh winters and road salt, the aluminum seems to spot/pit. I haven't found a good way to keep them looking new.

 

The price is right and install is easy. The brackets line up with existing holes in the truck body. Also, I had an issue with newer set where I thought one looked bent. I sent them a photo and they shipped me another set free of charge. They also didn't want the original ones back.

Anyone have the N-Fab Podium steps in stainless? Little pricey, but I like the way they look and I don’t really want black. Just curious if anyone has them and how they’re holding up.

Had the Westin HDX steps installed Monday. Extremely happy with them. Large front step, more than adequate rear step, and the locations are dead on. Getting in and out is very easy with these, I highly recommend them.

I like my factory boards but I am thinking about painting them. Any thoughts on that?

Just installed Dee Zee FX running boards on my truck, very happy with how they turned out and equally disappointed that I didn't spend the money before the winter. They went on easy and there's very few things I would have changed. We'll see how clean they keep the side of my truck
