Running Boards

What Are Running Boards?

Running boards are aftermarket accessories designed to provide a sturdy step for easier entry and exit from trucks, SUVs, and lifted vehicles. They are mounted along the lower sides of a vehicle, offering both functionality and style. Running boards come in a variety of materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, and composite plastics, with different styles such as retractable, lighted, or textured for extra grip.

Why Install Running Boards?

Running boards offer several advantages, making them a popular upgrade for truck and SUV owners. Here are some key benefits:

• Easier Entry and Exit: Running boards provide a stable step, making it easier for passengers to get in and out of taller vehicles.
• Added Protection: They help protect your vehicle’s lower body from road debris, mud, and rock chips.
• Enhanced Appearance: Running boards add a sleek, customized look to your truck or SUV.
• Improved Safety: Many running boards feature non-slip surfaces to prevent slipping in wet or icy conditions.
• Increased Resale Value: A well-installed set of running boards can enhance the overall appeal and value of your vehicle.
