Where's a good place to buy running boards for my 2016 Laramie crew cab? I want full length and chrome. However I don't trust ebay and want a decent deal. Anyone?

I got mine from a website called carid.com. They have a good selection, and prices are good. Paid under $200 for mine. I should let you know that was for a regular cab.

I ordered the Iron Cross Patriot boards in stainless. Very happy with them.

Be careful ordering from CARiD. My driver's side board arrived with a dent that I didn't see until after installing the brackets on both sides and passenger board.

I contacted them for a replacement and they flat out denied a claim for a $500 purchase, unwilling to ship me a replacement. I contacted Iron Cross directly and they shipped a new board no questions asked, even though I ordered from CARiD. A real stand up company.

How close are the Patriots in relation to the cab? I'm considering some of these but want some that fit close without a lot of space to see brackets and such. Any chance you could post some more pics?

Hey man, I just bought a set of running boards for a 2017 ram crew cab off a guy. I just noticed they only have one mounting bracket on the front and 1 bracket in the back. Is that normal? I just figured they would have a center bracket. They are oem Mopar tubular bars.

I searched craigslist and it took about a month or so to find them.

They were brand new off a truck.

Got them for I think $200.

Mopar doesn't have a running board/step (pictured above are steps) factory, your paying a lot extra for crappy free coffee in the waiting room. The product you get is a rebadged twin to the ones you buy anywhere else. Pick the ones you like, find the cheapest place that has them and order them up. All the ones I've installed or removed are very easy to do yourself with common hand tools.

Thanks, I picked up a set of wheel to wheel running boards practically brand new and a folding tonneau cover for $100 bucks off a guy. I got the hardware for $28 off of Amazon and installed them myself yesterday. I've installed a few sets on family vehicles but I couldn't remember how many brackets and there was a place for a third bracket on both sides. You're right though, went on fine and very firm.
