Didn't know running boards could put a vehicle on opposite ends of the spectrum.....

With running boards.... Owner has class and likes the big tire look!

Without running boards... A redneck that has too much money! LOL!



NOW that's funny right there!!!


LEAVE "EM ON!!!!

Well grab the Budweiser cause I'm going with the redneck look .

I never liked a lifted truck with running boards. They dont really provide much of an easier step anyway since there so high on a lifted truck.

If anything I'm going to put a set of N-Fab nerf steps on. They tuck up nice against the rocker and have drop down steps to help get in. Colored matched I think they look real good.

Good choice, eddie. I've got the n-fab steps on my 200X. Check my gallery. I've had them on for 18 months. They've got a few surface scratches. My local line-X shop is going to cover them with bed material afer they get just a bit more torn up.

I think you'll like them.

I liked the fact that the excursion running boards are LONGER (around 10 inches) than the F250/350 running boards that I purchased a set and installed them on my F250 to gain the extra inches on each end of them at the fenderwell area and at the end of the crew cab. My factory running boards looked short (as they are) while the excursion running boards went all the way from front fender back to rear of cab...The added bonus was the trucks running boards only came in the color of 'argent grey' (other than the King Ranch version) while the Excursion running boards had a wider color variety such as the black ones that I purchased.
