Yup. That’s why my home made running boards bolt to the pinch weld as well. 6 points of contact on each board. 12 bolts per board. I’ve bottomed out on them once so far and no damage to the truck or the steps. They are solid built. 2” main rail and 1-1/2” tubing with 1” square tube from the main rail to the inside mounts. The rocker panel will have to rip off. Only problem is this version 1 is not wheel to wheel. Version 2 will either be the same setup but wheel to wheel or full on rock sliders frame mounted with an integrated full belly pan.Well, this really sucks! I love my running boards but the place where they bolt to is way under designed! The boards and brackets are beefy enough, but the body where they bolt to is not. I'm going to have to do a little modifying to fix this issue.View attachment 485279
