Mechanics throughout the region know Brunswick Auto Mart has the best selection and price for buying genuine OEM parts. Running boards make entering and exiting your Ram 3500 easier while protecting lower door panels from rocks, mud, and road debris. These side-mounted steps reduce the climb height for passengers and provide stable footing for accessing your truck's roof or bed. Trucks like the Ram 3500 SLT and Ram 3500 Mega Cab benefit from the added accessibility and protection running boards deliver.

Enhance Accessibility and Protection

Running boards provide secure stepping surfaces for children, elderly passengers, and anyone with mobility limitations climbing into your truck's elevated cab. They create a buffer between your doors and adjacent vehicles in parking lots, preventing costly dings and scratches. The textured stepping surface maintains traction even when covered in mud, snow, or standing water. Running boards also work as mounting platforms for additional lighting or rock sliders for off-road use.

Recognize Wear and Damage Indicators

Metal running boards corrode from road salt accumulation, particularly where moisture collects in mounting brackets and seams. The anti-slip surface wears smooth after years of foot traffic, becoming slippery when wet. Impacts from curbs, rocks, and parking barriers bend or crack the boards themselves. Mounting hardware loosens from constant vibration, creating rattles or complete detachment. Running boards typically require replacement after six to nine years in harsh climates with heavy salt use. Mud guards work alongside running boards to protect your truck's body.

Choose Genuine RAM Running Boards

Factory running boards integrate perfectly with your truck's frame mounting points without requiring drilling or permanent modifications. They're engineered to support heavy loads safely while maintaining proper ground clearance. Aftermarket boards frequently interfere with suspension components or block access to service points underneath your truck.
