My wife considered the Ford running boards too high since they are almost even with the door opening and needed a lower step. Ended up with N-Fab nerf step running boards.

I like the looks of these a lot! Thanks for the pic.

I went with the N-fab epyx. Easy to install, great price and look!

Do you happen to have a photo to see how far they extend out? I like these but my wife thinks there is not enough step. Sheesh. I can pretty much get what I want but her comfort is important. May end up with using the steps like Ranger_Mark uses.
I'm expecting them to be delivered today and will post pics when they're installed.

I have the GoRhino DSS. I liked the way they tuck up high under the rocker, drain water, stay pretty clean, easy to install, not so boxy or thick looking from the side.....but it's still a bit of step up for shorter legs. I recently installed a set of AMP Research power steps. When you open the door, they extend down enough to act as a natural step up (or down) to get in (and out) of the cab. This style step isn't cheap though and cost about 3 times as much as my DSS steps (for sale), but well worth it for us.

I want to install side steps so my wife can get in the truck a little easier. Just bought a new 2019 XLT Super Crew. We are in our mid 60's and she has had a couple of spine surgeries.
They need to be functional, have a non-slip surface, and good looking. Don't want them sticking out like wings and looking like an ugly add-on.
What did you buy? Pics would be cool.
Howdy Ace!
I went with the Westin HDX Stainless Drop Step Bars and had them powder coated to match my Sport/Magnetic Trim.

Truth-be-told.... I'm not a yuge fan of any side step/boards, but my Wife called this shot!

I am seriously considering the AMP Power Steps because I like the idea of the boards retracting out of sight. However, it appears from the few people who have put on the AMP's, the side boards do not retract, but just tuck along side the rocker panel?

If that's the case, I'll just keep what I have!
