I had luverne wheel to wheel grip steps on my 2017 and they were great in snow, mud and muck. A little expensive and very solid. https://www.luvernetruck.com/part/415114-401733

that's a great looking truck! I installed the AMP extreme steps on my last one that came without them. https://www.amp-research.com/powersteps

I like my boards high and tight so I bought some take off F150 boards that fit closer to the cab. Another nice board would be the Tremor running boards.

Maybe with the lift you might want something that hangs down farther to make getting in easier so I'd probably go with some power boards.

ETA. That's a nice looking truck.

Another vote for the Luverne grip steps. The HD version has additional struts that add more support than just the factory rocker panel studs. Your feet will absolutely never slip and the open pattern allows mud & snow to fall through instead of ending up in your floorboard.

They hang down about the same as the factory running boards. At first I thought I wanted running boards that were high and tight (tremor or F150 style) but after getting in and out of the truck multiple times daily I'm glad I didn't go that route. Not great pics but its the best I've got.

I have the Aries ActionTrac powered running boards. They work great for me and my wife. She's pretty short, and my knees are getting pretty bad. These really give a great step "down", then fold up when the door is closed. I can't access my pictures at the moment, but I'll try and get a picture soon.

I opted for the factory running boards, after 2 years I am still 100% satisficed, it was 1/2 the price of the next closest competitor that I looked at...

I have the factory boards in my garage. There was nothing wrong with them, but they were just too short for us anymore. I needed something that could get a little lower. These fit the bill nicely.

My '23 came with the factory boards... I like them. I would rather have had the AMP's, because I really don't like the looks of nerf bars or running boards, but they came with the truck, so they are staying with the truck.
