Recently replaced oem running boards with these Luverne Omega ll
I like that these are mounted higher than the factory boards closing the unsightly gap.
Easy to install- but you will need to be able to loosen. Leaf spring bolt to fasten rear brackets.
Mounts with four brackets which is nice since most others I saw only had three.
Good an solid step too, not flimsy at all. Like the tucked up look but not stuffed. They are set under just enough to not be obtrusive
lo
Are the 3 front mounts the regular step mounts on the cab, and the 4th is on the leaf spring bolt? Can you get a shot of what that rear mount looks like? They look a lot sturdier than the set I have.
I put a set of Iron Cross boards on my truck (also a SCLB) and there is zero support for the bed step. The last support bracket is the one directly under the rear door, so there is probably 3 feet of unsupported running board.
It deflects at least 6" at the end when a 200# guy stands on them. Absolutely unacceptable. I've been trying to come up with a way to make this more rigid.

Yes, three regular mounts from stock locations and fourth is leaf springs.
I'll take a picture tommorow for you of leaf spring brackets
Funny, I ordered two sets of another brand that showed three mounts like yours and sent back when saw that no step area mount. Cheap design for sure....these are solid for sure. I'm 200# as well and there is no give at all

I appreciate it very much.
I made sure these fit, and then had them Line-X'd before I even stepped on the rear step, so I'm stuck with the flimsy ones I have, unfortunately. I'm perfectly capable of copying somebody else's support though.

lo
where did you order them from ? I’m looking at their web site and I’m not seeing them .
This is where I grabbed them from. Listing is for black but they have it in silver as well- I called them since for some reason listing does not show silver powder coat.

Here are pics of brackets Drivers side facing rear
Same view @ frame Drivers side again and to see the bracket is notched for e brake cable Closer view Passenger side straight on Passenger facing front Passenger rear facing
Passenger facing frame This is passenger side. Shows two piece brackets and how slotted holes bolt up to allow adjustment
Thank you very much! The slotted hole through the leaf spring bolt is interesting. The double nuts on every bolt is also interesting. If that's the way they are designed, I would think it would be less expensive for them to include a tiny tube of loctite or even locking nuts than a bunch of additional nuts.

No problem, you're welcome!
DBL. nuts were my doing.... didn't have loctite handy do I used spare some extras to avoid having anything loosen up.
It went together fine and the brackets are pretty substantial. It was nice to see that somebody actually cared enough to engineer something rather than let the boards "run free". (Although, with aluminum they didn't have a choice unless they wanted to reinforce the boards). I didn't like the three mount supports I saw on s.cabs as It would put a lot of stress on the third position factory mounting studs....not good. There was another running boards manufacturer I saw that supported the third step area from the bed mount above. Used a hinged design that allowed for bed movement. Didn't like that idea, it could be p.i.a if not executed precisely. Can't recall who it was but that's something you could explore too.
