I like it! I'm not sure how they'd look on my stock truck, but I gotta say, I think they look great on yours. My RB20's aren't even showing shipped yet.
Mine didn't show as shipped either even after I got an email from fedex with the tracking number. I ordered them from stage 3 as well.

OK, got the D6's installed. First thing I would say is that they are definitely running boards width wise. It still has a slider look which does give the truck a more rugged appearance. I tried to get a bunch of different angles to get an idea of the width, how far it sticks out, and just how it looks. I think this is only a good option if you have wheels with an offset that stick out further than stock. I have a +20 offset and 18x9 wheels with 285/65's and they are about evenly aligned.

For me I was looking for a step for when I get a roof rack and a little more protection. As a step to get into the truck its probably pointless. I won't use it as a step into the truck and it will take some getting used to feeling it hit the back of my leg when I get out but they should serve their purpose for my needs. I will say there are 2 sets of holes to install them vertically, maybe a half inch apart from each other I'd have to measure, so they can be installed slightly lower than I installed them, very slightly.

Damn. I really like the look of those. I was worried they'd be too wide, but I like the slider look and a little bit of bigger step. I think this and the D1s would look great with an offset. Stock they might be too wide, but this sold me. Buying mine next paycheck.

Got my RB20's installed and I'm having some buyers remorse. The taper is just too much for me. If they were the same width as the narrow end, I would have been able to live with them. The wide end is just a little too wide for my taste. Didn't see it in the million pics I looked at. I'd need to go up two tire sizes and a different wheel offset to make it look perfect (which isn't happening). I wish I had went with the DSS, although I like how the various boards sit closer to the rocker panel pinch weld than the bars do. Hoping they'll grow on me:rolleyes:.

I just installed these DSS bars by myself. Tip to make your life easier if you don't have access to a lift and had to do it laying on the ground like me. mount the back 2 brackets to the body and mount the front bracket to the step bar keeping it loose enough so you can slide the mount in the channel in the bar. stick the bar on a big box that will roughly be the same height as installed. and then mount the front bracket to the body.

Then you can bolt the rear and middle brackets. to the in channel mounting plate much easier.

I did mine on my own as well. It was a struggle but definitely doable!

I installed mine myself as well. Just set them on my little wheeled shop stool and adjusted it to the proper height. Very simple.

Have any pics of your DSS's?

Oh man I hate buyers remorse. I'm surprised because I've seen a few of these on stock Rangers and they look great.

Well I gotta say, I like em more everyday. I do believe they would look better without the wide front, but I have gotten several compliments on them already. They will only look better when I go up a tire size and add a very small lift. Went down a dirt/muddy road the other day and to hear the amount of small rocks and debris hitting them was insane. I've concluded the front moulded flaps don't do a whole lot.

no pics yet been super busy with work and I've got to swap out 1 bar when i installed it it had a defect in the powder coating from the factory on the top plate. i contacted the warranty dept and they got a new bar out to me within a week. so good job to GoRhino for standing behind their products and workmanship

Good to hear! I hope it doesn’t happen but I anticipate having to contact them in a few years to talk to them about the 5 year finish guarantee. Not many boards survive the salt for that long around here!

just make sure you register the warranty on their website or by sending in the yellow warranty card that was in the box. keep your receipt as well. they will ask for it. i only had a e-mailed receipt from the purchasing vendor and it was sufficient

:oops: There wasn’t a warranty card in mine and I wasn’t aware of having to register on their site, but maybe they don’t even offer it in Canada? I ordered them through my work so at least I can pull some strings there if needed. Thanks!
