Which running boards???

[INGMWETRUST]

Thank you all for your help, much appreciated!

So many choices, all seem solid!

 

I went ahead and installed these 

IONIC 5" STAINLESS CURVED NERF BARS

So far really love the construction of them. Very sturdy and not as bulky (IMO) as some of the other ones on the market.

Just ordered a Bakflip MX4 as well. (Hopefully install isn't too tedious).

Will be posting pics of both as soon asap.

Have you got any pics posted? I'm looking for examples of LTZs with steps - so much chrome! Not sure I could pull off black steps.

the new high clearance side steps from gm are excellent if you like stealth, you don't really see them on the truck unless you're really close to it or looking for them, they are slim and tight fitting, they are also a top choice if you actually leave the pavement, and or, live where there's snow, highly unlikely to drag on these and tear one off

 

one of my lifelong gm pet peeves with stock half ton 4x4's, about as much clearance as a Honda Civic off the lot with factory chin spoilers and the low nose period plus any with most factory side steps hanging way down as well, it's like a modern el camino rather than a 4x4 truck lol, cripes even a 4" lift on new one only makes it about as tall as the heavy duty 3/4 and 1 tons

I put the high clearance steps on my AT4 and gained over 2" of ground clearance.  I bent the mounting brackets on the stock boards, they hang really low.

Stock image, but I bought the Rough Country HD2's for my 2020 LT. Looks so good, but I just wish it were aluminum or something lighter

Running boards were the first thing I did to mine - the prices from the dealership were considerably higher than most aftermarket and not much difference.  I wanted the step style instead of using the tubes with pads and ordered direct from Lund and placed my order at the right time during a sale and got them shipped direct to my door for 270.00.  Extremely easy to install except for all the frame wax on my arms lol.
