Do you have a photo of these steps on your truck with doors open? I was after different style running boards, but maybe these are also good.
I don't have a picture, what exactly are you looking to see? My 7yo daughter can get in and out with minimal to no struggle.

I wanted to see positions on this steps when the doors are open. Just wanted to know how convenient they are on daily use.

These are N-Fab Podium stainless powder coated ones, identical to the Havoc HS2.

Sorry for the delay. Been offline. Do these help? My dad is 75 and just had a hip replaced last yr and he can get in using them. The extra width seems to make it pretty easy.

I like these, they look nice and I was looking for something like this. I wonder if they fit Megacab.

FWIW I have these same steps on my 1500 and I'll be picking up another pair for my 3500 Mega if GoRhino makes a kit or if the crew cab parts are compatible with the Mega.

The attachment brackets have some adjustment so you can position the steps close to the body or further outboard if you want. I tucked them against the body on my 1500 because they are quite wide. They're rock-solid and clear snow, mud and rain pretty well. My only complaint is that the powdercoated version can get a little slick when wet or you've got muddy boots. I don't like the visual look of bedlined steps so I'll probably stick with powdercoating and keep using just a smidge of caution.

I just picked up my 2500 diesel last weekend and it’s my first pick up truck I’ve had. I really like it so far. I have the night edition package that looks really sharp. The only option I wanted but couldn’t get was the wheel to wheel step boards. I have the cab length ones now. Using this forum I got the part numbers of the wheel to wheel and got the price of them…$944 per board. Is there a market place on this forum or someplace else that someone is selling their running boards? I’d sell mine if I were to find the wheel to wheel ones. Thanks.

I came across a set of the rock slider/steps off the 2021 Power Wagons and got them installed. I hate steps, but they help the wife and kids. I didn't want to spend the money for power boards so I originally went with Westin wheel to wheel steps. They just weren't my style. These power wagon boards really fit the ticket. They are solid and almost "disappear". Really impressed with how Ram did these steps. If you need a 5" wide step these aren't for you, but for my needs they are perfect.

How do you guys keep your trucks so clean? Do you even drive them???
I enjoy washing mine. My truck is exactly one year old and I have put on just over 13,000 miles so not driving a lot compared to normal but with gas prices we have been driving my wife's CRV a bit more.

I love mine as well. I know people say they don't offer a good step but my wife is 5'2" or so and pushing 60yoa and she has not trouble with them. I paid $300 for mine and thought I got a good deal but I saw a set locally the other day for $150 new take offs.

I had RBP electric boards on my 17’ Ram which worked flawlessly. On my 2021 Ram that barely has 500 miles on her gets some nerf bars but with pocket steps for the Mrs. Since I wasn’t going leveling on this truck I went non retractable and bolted iArmor on and it’s perfect.

Did you have a chance to check if these boards fit Mega Cab?
