I was wondering if yall have seen anything on the market similar to these that would fit my 2018 Ram Rebel

Thanks

Np.

Up until recently I had a set on my truck, they're nice (heavy, for sure!) but the bedliner type coating was getting on my nerves and scraping my calves a lot. I also prefer something that mounts to the body mounts and/or frame, rather than the rocker panel like the GoRhinos (and most every other set of boards, AFAIK).

Did they feel unstable or move around when stepped on? I can agree about mounting on the frame but I'm not aware of anything that does without spending more than 500

Nope, definitely not unstable! Both the brackets and boards themselves are made of really thick heavy metal.

I actually purchased a set of Luverne "side steps" that mount using the body mounting points and have studs with bumpers on them that rest against the frame. Normally they are 500+ but Amazon's crazy pricing had them down to 240 one day so I bit. Overall I prefer the GoRhino hardware and boards, but I like the fact that the Luvernes hang from the body mounting points.

Even had the crazy idea of trying to see if the GoRhino boards would mount up to the Luverne brackets....might actually give that a shot.
