Shop Running Boards/Side Steps by Product Type
Running Boards
Running boards are flat, wide platforms that run the length of the cab, providing a stable and comfortable step for entering and exiting the truck. They’re typically constructed from aluminum or ABS composite with anti-slip surfaces for safety in all weather. Ideal for everyday use, they offer a clean, factory-style look and are great for lower trucks or family-friendly builds.
Electric Running Boards
Electric running boards are motorized steps that automatically extend when the door opens and retract when it closes, offering both style and convenience. They stay tucked under the body for a sleek, aerodynamic appearance when not in use, protecting them from road grime and damage. Perfect for high-end or lifted builds, they combine luxury and utility with precision engineering.
Step Nerf Bars
Step nerf bars are tubular steps that run along the cab with designated stepping areas, often near each door. Available in round or oval shapes, they give trucks a sportier look while improving ground clearance. Their rugged construction and off-road-ready aesthetic make them a favorite among enthusiasts who want both function and flair.
Side Steps
Side drop steps are aggressive, lowered platforms that extend from the main bar, offering easy access to lifted or leveled trucks. Often featuring angular or mesh-style footpads, they deliver a bold, tactical look while making cab access much easier. These steps are perfect for show trucks and daily drivers alike, especially when you want to mix toughness with convenience.
Rock Sliders
Rock sliders are heavy-duty steel bars that run along the rocker panels, originally designed to protect the underside of off-road vehicles from trail obstacles. Many styles now include integrated step plates, combining protection with accessibility. Built to bear the weight of the truck against rocks, they’re trail armor with utility built in.
