Yup ... I had them ... They suck ... Their powdercoat finish is horrible ... And they rusted inside and out here in Ohio ... Looked like **** after 3 Winters ... And the steps fill with snow off the road, freeze, and you’ll bust your ass trying to get in ... Ask me how I know ... #bustedshin

My 2 cents. Hopefully you get some owners of Step Boards like your looking for ! I do like that style but have OEM Boards on my RAM. Love them and holding up well to Maine winter's !
I would go to sites like www. Real-truck.com look at boards and the reviews ! Hit as many sites as you can and read all their reviews or at least their star rating ! Just a though

I found new OEM boards on Ebay for a hell of a deal, and I like them a lot ... 2 winters, and they still look like the day I put them on ...

Reviews honestly are so dicey unless there’s thousands of people reviewing the same product across different weather conditions. And, finding a well reviewed product isn’t hard, finding one that looks like the above has been the challenge.

I know RC makes a similiar set but, I had ordered a set from them that was different and the quality was , uh, questionable.

Those are not bad! Can barely tell that they are there. My truck came with the chrome tube style that hung low. Yuck.

I do agree reviews can be hit or miss, but they are a start ! First hand info on forums is way better ! But I have found many online review helpful, That is way I went, that is why I went OEM,, Too much junk out there! And you do get what you pay for in most cases.

If you want something that won’t rust, I have Aries advant-edge boards on my truck, they are aluminum. Come in black or silver, you can also change out the tread plates to either color. The tread plate finish is sort of Bedliner-ish, so no slipping on them.

You're right, they don't trust, but here in the lovely salt belt they corroded like a MF on my f150.

Yeah, I’m in the mountains of WV, they use salt excessively here as well, but probably not like they do there.

Yup traveling between Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick, they love to play down the salt, salt brine, and calcium brine. A couple little chips in my running boards from flying rocks on dirt roads over the summer.... After the second winter, the powder coating was almost completely gone, nothing but bubbly white chalky aluminum.....
