Default Running boards help

I don't love them, but my mom and women have trouble getting into the truck. I need boards. I am thinking of these OEM takeoffs for $170. They are the 5" boards. I want something low profile that is aesthetic. Thoughts on these vs others? AMP boards are too rich for my blood.

OEM boards are only like 2 inches below the threshold of the door so not a real help. I know you said they were too rich for you but AMP definitely the way to go.

These are cost effective and easy to bolt up. The required studs are already on the truck. My 75 year old mom is able to get in and out with them.

These are awesome boards and even my 83 year old mom has no issues getting in and out of my truck.

Excellent option and very cost effective. Simple to bolt on as well.

Get them and enjoy

Those boards are definitely the least obtrusive of the factory boards. Amp power boards are nice, make it really easy for anybody to get in. But they are really expensive. I think going from no boards to those will make it easier for the women.

I had to train mine on how to use the grip bars inside the truck and now she can get in and out like a pro.

I got these exact ones from the same seller on eBay. My criteria were the same as yours and I have been very happy with them.
