The Great Running Board Dilemma

[Myers1981]

For those that know,
Go Rhino RB20 Slim VS Rhino Regular - do these boards both hang the same height? Meaning does one have worse ground clearance than the other or they are the same? Just one is obviously a little slimmer than the other.

Thanks

Same height, just slimmer…

For those with Mopar Off-road Boards do you notice a decent amount of flex? Seems like the mounts themselves flex quite a bit when stepping on boards?

I put RB30 slims today, i like them, but also i dont know if i should have put standard ones. they look ok, but a bit narrow when i put my foot down, maybe i'll get used to them, but if i feel like if i have bigger sneakers im at risk of slipping and twisting my ankle





edit: day 2: i like them more.

Ok just got my amp boards installed on my RHO and they came out perfect no issues.

 

[Leelo806]

Good news! I’m still waiting myself. The guys at zona said they still had some issues with installing theirs last week. Something about the wiring. Let’s us know how it goes.

They do have the wrong wires to tap into on the instructions so had to call AMP and we got it going

Put some RB20s (bed liner coating) on the new RHO today.

Wishful thinking…. Rock rails AND a power running board

Wishful thinking…. Rock rails AND a power running board

You could go with the Amp Powerstep XL steps. They are powered retractable and have a rock rail. Currently out of stock but once they come back in stock it would be a good option to get the best of both worlds. https://realtruck.com/p/amp-research-power-step-xl/v/ram/truck-1500/2025/

Does anyone know if the Go Rhino E1 power step has one motor or two? When I open the drivers side door does the passenger step come down as well?

GoRhino E1 is now the Ionic Volt step which has dual motors. https://realtruck.com/p/realtruck-voltstep-electric-running-boards/v/ram/truck-1500/2025/ This is what I am leaning towards for my RHO.

These are the OEM Mopar Off-Road Running boards? How in the world can these be more expensive than the Mopar power retracting running boards?! I placed my order when the MY26 order bank opened up and the dealer said he could add the off-road running boards; never in a million years would I have expected them to cost 2x that of what they cost if Ram could have just installed them from the factory. Almost worth considering ordering another RHO!

I have these and they work well. I ordered Amps before I even had the truck and got tired of waiting after the lift/37s. My only gripe is that they had a chip in the board on each side that required some black paint to cover.

Yep. They are indeed. If you want them, order them on the truck. They are far cheaper that way.
How much does your dealer charge for them?
I knew I wanted them, so it made sense to have them factory installed, plus they're so much cheaper!

When RAM first came out with the MY26 order guide they had it messed up, (had the off road running boards listed as n/c,) but my dealer couldn't even select them on my order. I figured who knows what may be up with that but no big deal I thought, let's order the truck and I will put them on when I get the truck. Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought they would be 2x the price as they are listed on the sticker for. If I couldn't find some TRX takeoffs nearby when the truck comes in, I'd probably just go for some of those Go Rhino RB20's with the protective bedliner coating.

Which ones did you get? I have the XL's and have had issues for weeks. OBD2 port and controller module. Then i have t wait for American truck to ship parts.

 

[AirRyan]

Received the Mopar Off-Road Running Boards from Summit yesterday. 82215508AD

Won't beat that price anywhere else, and Summit still has them listed as shown above. I had to pay sales tax as they shipped from their Arlington store, but no shipping. I wanted to point out for the benefit of others, the Mopar off-road running boards are Made in the USA, too!

Anyone in SoCal interested in a like new set of RB20 slim? Had them on for a couple of weeks and decided to go with the Mopar Rock Rails instead.

 

[toast411]

I went with the Go Rhino RB30 boards, went that route for these reasons:
- I'm in ND; power retracts don't like the cold (wife's denali is always unhappy)
- Wanted boards wide enough to protect from parking lot door dings
- Wanted boards long enough to protect from rocks / gravel getting thrown on the paint

Factory Mopar was the other contender.

 

[Parkite]

Any recent views on the RB20s vs. RB30s? And the "Slim" vs. "Normal" version of each? I am biasing towards the RB30 Slim versions, but not 100% sure - it looks like 90% of the web commentary is on the RB20s despite them being the older version.

 

[StuntRDRHO]

I went with the GoRhino RB30 with the bedliner material on them. Easy install and should help a lot with the door ding queens.

Do the brackets hang low under the rail connections and reduce ground clearance by very much, it looks from the pictures online it’s possible for the brackets to get caught on stuff? I noticed the mopar ones have more of a flush bracket connection to the rails, lessening the ground clearance issue. Haven’t seen many picture of the RB’s from the underside installed, can you confirm?
