Aftermarket Nerf Bars and or Running Boards (3500 6.4 Standard Bed)

[bigcitymike]

I have a 2019 Laramie Crew Cab 3500 standard bed (6.4'), and i'm looking for aftermarket Nerf Bar or Running Board that include a step to get into the bed (GM knocked it out of the park with their bed step on the 2020's). This is often known as wheel-to-wheel Nerf Bars and or Running Boards if they include the step for the bed.

I can find plenty of them that cover the cab/doors, and i have found wheel-to-wheel for the 8' bed (or MegaCab), but I've yet to find a wheel-to-wheel for the standard 6.4' bed. I reached out to Westin regarding their DX Xtreme Boards - ex: part # 56-23565 (to include a bed step), and they said they're currently developing this application and expect to see them late summer, which is too long to wait for me.

Anyone find a wheel-to-wheel Nerf Bars and or Running Boards for the 3500 w/6.4 bed?

I may have to settle for the a Nerf Bar and or Running Board just for the cab/doors. In that case, anyone have any pics of the aftermarket Nerf Bars and or Running Boards you installed, and your thoughts on the product?

Check runningboardwarehouse.com.

Search for your truck, they have quite a few wheel to wheel ones. I bought from them for my 2500, no complaints.

Havoc HS3 steps would match what you are looking for. They were my top choice if I hadn't found a set of factory take offs. Here is a thread with a pic on a 2019 HD: https://hdrams.com/forum/index.php?threads/havoc-hs3-black-stainless-tube-steps-installed.1230/

I'll take a look.

Thanks

Big thread on running boards for your viewing pleasure

Side steps/Nerf bars, etc.

What's everyone running for side steps/running boards/Nerf bars? I like the looks of the hoop style. Any pics on the 19s?

Thanks, some good examples there. I like the Westin HDX Xtreme Nerf Steps, but they only have them for the crew cab, and they don't make them for the crew cab wheel-to-wheel yet. They said sometime late summer.

These are wheel to wheel and are $250. I bought my ionic 4" ones, cab length, for $189. Once you go to wheel to wheel the price jumps quite a bit.

Honestly, for wheel-to-wheel $250 is pretty cheap. How much flex do you feel on the cab length ones? I looked for some weight ratings, and didn't see any on the page.

On mine, I feel none. They are rock solid, not sure one weight rating. But to be clear, mine are not the same style as the ones I linked.

I bought these:

The Havoc HS2 and HS3 are the only full stainless blacked out ones I could find. Depending on where you live, stainless steel might be the only thing you want. For me in the salty rust belt... it is stainless or nothing! I did the Havoc HS3.

According to havocoffroad.com, the Havoc HS3 are for the 1500 and older Ram HDs, they don't have a wheel-to-wheel listing for a 2019 3500.

You obviously didn't click the links that a fellow gave above, one of them being a link to my original thread where this is discussed and the actual part number is shown both in my typed respond and again in my invoice screen shot.

And you didn't follow the link to the YouTube video that I made where I show the instructions that do not list our trucks, and I explain that they do fit properly and the website and instructions simply aren't updated yet, and I show the actual install on a 2019 2500HD crew cab with 6'4" bed... Thus answering literally every single question that you currently have in life....

It's all there. Order it, bolt it on in 15 minutes, be happy and prosperous.

Oh, and call Real Truck / Havoc (all the same company) and do yourself a favor.... Ask for confirmation to make yourself feel good, and while talking ask for some help on the price. I got mine shipped and taxed for under $500.

After searching for nearly 3 weeks, I finally found a set of OEM running boards on CraigsList. I've been searching FB Marketplace, CraigsList, eBay and calling local dealers without any luck. I really liked the looked of the Chrome or the blacked out OEM's. I nearly bought one of the aftermarket sets, as i'm getting tired of hoisting the kids up everytime we go out. On a whim today, I search CL and instead of using "running board" as a key word, I used "step board" and voilà, someone was selling a set they took off, as they installed the AMP Powerstep. They posted it a month ago. Had them listed for $450, and I offered $300 and they took it.
