Frame mounted running boards?

[SwarleyManson62]

Hey all, I just traded in my 1500 for a 22 2500. Only 200 miles in but I love it. My wife on the other hand who is about 5’3” isn’t enjoying getting in and out!

When I lifted my 1500 she had the same request. Originally I bought a said that mounted to the body rather than the frame and it was very wobbly and when I looked underneath was moving the body of the truck. After doing a ton of Internet searching all I seem to be finding is boards that also mount to the body and none that mount to the frame.

Anyone know of boards that frame mount or atleast are supported a little heavier? Preferably a more rugged angled look set. I’m not really in love with tube steps.

And here’s a pic in case anyone cares to see my new wallet emptier! Luckily I found the same color 2500 and could keep my topper!

Factory boards don't really flex at all, esp. if you have 3 brackets.

Aries tubes I had didn't flex either

Get your wife the electric boards and score some brownie points

My Westjns only flex on the passenger side because I came down hard on it one time at the lake. I believe it broke something loose. Driver side is still solid as a rock.

I put the MOPAR wheel to wheel’s on my ‘21 2500 and they don’t flex at all. There are 12 bolts holding each side and aren’t hard at all to install. My assistant to hold up one end was a Lowes 5 gallon bucket

I made my own set but they mount to the body. However. They mount to the pinch weld underneath the rockers and to the inside of the rockers. I think the factory set mount the same way I built mine. White knuckle sliders make frame mounted and so does maple off-road

White knuckle off-road makes a frame mount step, rock sliders.
