Badlands Running Boards recomendations

[Dreamer]

Thank you! Dang, you are quick in reply.
Ya, I have the same. Only in Cactus. You have a nice looking rig! Really appreciate your responses and kindness.

You caught me while I was online.

Cactus was my first color choice. Did not like paying extra for the AGM. My wife really liked the AGM better and Letting her pick the color was a way To get her blessing to buy the truck. Now that I have it, I like it too.

I think the runningboards would be flush with the sidewall if I had The 35 inch tires. Plan on going that route once these tires were out.

How do these choices compare with the Raptor-style running boards?

Not sure about Archetype Racing anymore but they had a nice offering.

I just installed some IAG running boards last week, and although I still haven't fully used them, I can say that the install was very easy and the quality is superb!

I have the IAG full length. Have been great.

OP, a lot of good suggestions. I have the ZRoadsZ shown earlier and like them. They are 4” below floor level which is just enough to help folks getting in and out of our Baldlands SAS. They’re full replacements for factory rub rails. One thing to consider is how and where you off road. Anything that attaches to your factory rub rails probably won’t withstand as much abuse as direct replacements like ZRoadZ. If you use rub/rock rails for their intended purpose there’s the rabbit hole of body mounted vs frame mounted.

Happy Thanksgiving

I have the GO RHINO DOMINATOR DSS SLIDERS on my Non SAS Badlands. I chose these ones because I did not wanted them to go past the non sas flares. They are sturdy and easy to install if you are mechanically inclined. One issue is that the stepping width, is narrower (4-5 in), if you have big feet it might be cumbersome to use the step. They do not hang very low (1-1.5 in below door). Fit and finish is great and they have held very well on my mall crawler.

In hindsight, I should have went with Goat Fab ones, but they are pricey. If you are considering going up in tire size (35's), spurge on the Goat Fab ones, to maintain the flushness.

Why are you worried?

These would have been perfect if I wasn't trying to keep the factory rails! I do agree, the Goat rails are spendy and would be a perfect fit with SAS trim.

Update, I went with these. Price is right and I do not mind having to take them off if I am going into something crazy.
They do not stick out much, maybe about 1/3 inch. If they were any narrower, would be of little to no use when exiting Bronco. In person, they look to be a near perfect match for color and texture of factory rails.
