Ford F-550 Running Boards, Side Steps and Nerf Bars

This is the 3rd time ordering these particular running boards. There are a few concerns/ notes to point out. 1- when you mount the brackets be sure to either have a wire brush or die to clean the threads. (Ford has overspray on the factory studs for mounting) So cleaning them will make things go quicker. 2- The bars you mount to the back of the bracket are a bit short. This is no big deal for me as we have 3/8" stainless steel all-thread that I cut to replace the ones that come with. (This particular vehicle I only had to replace 3- The running boards themselves are tough and durable. A truck we had installed on prior was in an accident, the running board saved the truck door from more extensive damage, and only received a small bend that is slightly noticeable. Also I personally threw the plastic caps out as they make a good spot for road salt and dirt to get stuck. The boards provide great traction as you either get in or out of the vehicle. Last they divide the HUGE step from the ground to the cab perfectly. Read more Luverne Grip Step Running Board customer reviews.

These are high quality running boards and are very practical for people who want to have sure footing with very little chance of slipping off them in wet or muddy conditions very pleased.

Really easy to install but the bolts that go into the bars needed to be threaded all the way up or shorter. I had to use extra washers because the bolt would bottom out. Overall, nice bars.
