I have a set of OEM runnings boards for my 2016 150 xlt supercrew. I don't have any of the hardware for it. Can someone tell me what I would need to get for hardware to put these on? Thanks in advance!

 

When I removed OEM running boards from my 2016 XLT there were only nuts, 6 nuts per side. I reused them to install aftermarket running boards. See the picture. The washer is an aftermarket add on.

 

So the bolts were already there? I haven't had a chance to get under the truck and look yet. Do you know roughly what size the nuts are?

 

My truck came with the factory installed running boards, so the bolts were there.
Man, I knew you would ask about the size. Had to get under the truck. 13 mm.

 

Alright, awesome. Thanks!

 

Sub.

 

To be clear, they are M8 nuts, which requires a 13mm socket. The bolts should be present on all trucks... factory boards or not. On SCrew, there are actually 9 bolts - 3 separate plates. I believe some/all of the factory boards only use two. The Aries steps I added use all three, which is nice for a bit of extra stability.

You should also add a nylon washer between the body and the running board bracket, to prevent any galvanic action. My Aries boards included a nylon washer (between body and bracket), a decent size flat washer (between bracket and nut), and a nylon stop nut for each attachment point (18 total).

 

OEM boards had two mounting brackets. The truck, however, had three mounting points and I used all three (per side) to mount the aftermarket boards.

The boards that I installed had no nylon washers supplied. How critical are they?
