Side steps/Nerf bars, etc.

The running boards are numbers 6MP94KXJAA and 6MP95KXJAA (left and right, not sure which is which). The mounting hardware is 68193128AB. I went back to the dealership I purchased the truck from, which is not my home dealership. My home dealership told me they weren't in the Mopar accessories catalog and would not help me further. They are very pricey, so you've got to REALLY want them. I really like that they tread matches the tread on the back bumper and the all weather floor mats. It's the extra sort of detail I appreciate. The "list" cost is $944 each, and the dealership charged me $750 each. I think if you added them when you built the truck it was an $800 option. I don't have much of a relationship with the dealership where I bought the truck, and subsequently the running boards, as they are about 100 miles away, so I have no idea if they were giving me a good deal or marking it up because they don't expect future business from me.

Thanks for this Info. I'm trying to get the cab length version of these for mine but my local dealer is having trouble finding the part numbers. Any chance you now the Numbers for those.
 
Anyone have experience with the Ranch Hand Running Steps in snow and ice? Are they slippery? Any rust issues? I'm interested in the three step model.

For a 2021 Ram 3500 Dual Rear Wheel, do you buy any 2500/3500 cab length bars and they bolt right on? I would assume so....

Are there any dualy wheel to wheel bars with the third step integrated for toolbox access?

Yes and yes. But those wheel to wheel steps are VERY expensive and hard to get.

Cool. Just ordered N-Fab Podium cab length steps, stainless steel with black powder coating for $441 shipped after tax from RealTruck. If it isn't stainless I would not consider it, and the Podium and the Havoc HS2 and HS3 are the only black stainless that I know of.
 
The Aries that I have are aluminum I believe...But the brackets are most likely the weak point for rust!
 
I ordered the NFab rkr rails with steps today. I’ll give you guys a review and some pictures when they come in.

My steps came in yesterday and I was able to get them installed. Definitely are more tucked up than other steps which i like, and also seem to be sturdy enough to not get bent if they take a moderate hit. Definitely won’t hold the weight of the truck or push the truck away from anything if you drove up against it though.

2 brands offer a stainless steel steel that is powder coated black. All others that I find are carbon steel (rust) that are coated black.

The 2 I know for sure that black over stainless are Havoc HS2/HS3
NFab Podium

These are the NFab Podium steps, blacked out stainless.

I went with Westin R5 wheel to wheel steps on my 21 3500 longbed. The quality of the boards seem to be good and I like how they look and they feel sturdy. As far as fitment and instructions that was horrible and honestly I'm not sure I'd ever buy a Westin product again because of it. I'm fairly handy and have always done my own modifications ect. These were just poor when it came to fitment and instructions. The boards are modular too so that doesn't help.

I also added their light kit. I had to extend the wires for this to work on my long bed truck. They should definitely state that In product notes and they do not. It was like 2 ft too so not even close.

I may shorten the front of the boards by 1" because they do contact my Rokblokz mud flaps and that drives me crazy.

I went with the Go Rhino RB20’s. So far i like how they look and they seem pretty solid. The instructions were the worst part of the install.

I had never heard of these before. They seem like a better design then the AMP. How do you like them and would you get them again? These seem like a must have for my wife on my next truck.
 
Can you guys recommend good, but inexpensive black running boards for Megacab? I saw there are plenty of them for ~250 on eBay and amazon, but I am not sure how good they are. I wanted to hear from who personally have them.

They are a completely different design than the maps. I've seen ads for them, but never in person.
AMPs and RBP steps completely hide under the truck.
These are side steps that mount to the truck, then have a retractable step that drops out from under it. Basically a 2 step design, but wouldnt be good if you plan on doing any serious offroading with the truck.

The extent of my off-roading is forest roads and fields to go hunting. I don’t think that would be an issue.

I just never heard of them before and that truck is the only one I have found pics with them on it.
