Running Board Suggestions

I did look at those. Do they taper in the back? Do you have a pic of yours on your truck?

Did you go with the slims or regular size?

I researched just after taking delivery of the truck, narrowed it down to the Rhino RB20’s , most likely the Slims, I am more concerned about door ding protection.
Being only a 2 inch difference between the 2 options, I like the sleeker look of the slims, for those that have the slims installed any regrets on not going with the regular 20’s, footing width or ding protection?
I plan on finally pulling the trigger on a set.

I think I’m leaning towards the slim version with the Linex type coating.

I just ordered a pair of the Rhino RB20 Slims and will post pics once installed. Thanks for everyones advice. So, I now need to sell the OEM set and will post those in the classifieds.

Same here I pulled the trigger on the RB20 Slims, LineX Coated version to match the bed spray.
When they arrive, install will follow shortly.

Yes, I too ordered the Linex version. I had a similar coating on my TRX boards and they were solid. Held up well and never chipped.

Ordered from Real Truck @ 0030 Friday , Fast Delivery, received today. Install will be this week when I get some free time.

Should have mine by Monday. Let me know how it goes.

Looking forward to seeing how you like the slims. I'm not sure they'll be useful for stepping or not, but for added protection and looks, they'll be a nice addition.

I will comment on them and show some pics. I get the boards today, however they shipped the hardware to mount the boards at a different time and location. So, will try to install once I have all the parts. Seems strange it would not be packed all together. Has anyone else experienced this?

I didn't have that issue with mine, however I do recall the instructions were a bit confusing. Wasn't hard to figure out what was going on, but just take a few before you start to get a handle on what you're doing as there's no guarantee the instructions are completely accurate.

Good advice. Yes, the hanger brackets were not included and are being shipped from a different location.??‍

I also had separate shipping; I think the reason is the Boards themselves fit multi-trucks and the brackets are Ranger Only.
Installed mine today, no issues and the instructions are not entirely correct.
Go to Stage 3 Motorsports - Go Rhino (Video Install) Ranger for better install instructions.

Now when I last researched and narrowed it down to specific boards I wanted, it appears you have the option to install the boards (reversed), if you watch the video, you will note the Go-Rhino placard is mounted (forward), there were many comments that they were installed backwards in the video.

As of now, I just installed them the way I would consider the correct way and that is with the placard to the rear. I may try swapping them around to see if I like the look.

You will notice during install that the rear of the board narrows and the board itself will not slide forward (closer to the front fender) due to the bracket length on the most rearward attach point.
So, if you are looking to have the boards closer to the front fender and more space at the bed, then swapping the board (side to side) thus placing the placard at the front, should allow for this.
To sum it up, the board is wider in the front than it is at the back.
So, this is a owner (preference - look) install option.

An alternative would be grind down the bracket that you place on the rear attach point, this would allow the board to slide more forward. (Thus, making it shorter)

Install takes about 1 hour, note this includes the 10-15 minutes it takes to unwrap the boards and brackets. (they are tightly wrapped)

Note in the pic below, the board is as far forward as it will go, and overhangs at the rear.
If you swap this board to the Driver's side the issue will be reversed.

Thank you for the update and advice. I’m installing mine tomorrow. Will update. They look good on your truck!

Those seem like they stick out pretty far. One thing I don't like about the stock Tremor boards.
