Body Side Molding information

I anyone familiar with body side molding for F250's? I am looking at SuperCab Chrome Line Painted Body Side Molding from a comany called "SportWing"... $190 with free delivery..

I am trying to reduce the door dings. I put OEM side molding on my wife's CRV and it has made a huge difference.

I can see doing that with a car but the truck is up much higher and the step/running board would protruded further out than the door anyway, basically negating the need for a protective molding on the door, maybe I'm wrong?

Pretty nice looking especially that they provide to match paint color. I agree with Bruce though, unless you have a 2wd SD, most car doors will hit lower than this molding, no?

I'm thinking this style made provide better protection for your use case. Cheaper too.

There's a lot of contractors out there driving trucks that aren't theirs and don't give two craps about them either

I'm under the impression that folks here have already disregarded the competition. 🤣

No and after typing that out I thought about that but so be it. If it is what you want I'm not saying you shouldn't, just trying to bring up some things to think about... I will refrain in the future.

Hadn't thought about that but could be useful. At least on my truck a shopping cart being pushed carelessly would go right into the door and not be stopped by the running boards, this would prevent that.
