These look really good. I have a new XL Scab with 20 inch wheels so that's a pretty good stretch and I'm 5'11". My wife is about 5'8" so it's even more of a challenge. I've been looking at various running boards. My truck is Oxford white and, being an XL has very little chrome, which is the way I like it. So, I do not want chrome bars or boards.
I've been looking at black aluminum 4 inch boards, though. Six inch seem to really stick out there.
Can the OP, or another owner of these boards, tell me the approximate difference in height from ground to top of these boards versus ground to door sill? I'm guessing only three or four inches. Not much but could certainly help.

Take a closer look at my photos in this thread, you'll see what I mean.

They are very very close to the same distance as stock from the top of the board to the ground. They are thinner than the stock tubes, so the bottom is slightly higher off the ground. They actually don't stick out any further than the chrome tubes.

Gotcha!! I'll get a photo up tomorrow with a yard stick. Is yours 4X4?
I'll include a shot from the ground as well, but you have to remember my truck has a Boss Coilover setup, at 2" +/-, a 3" rear block, plus 315/70/17 tires/wheels, so I'm around 3 1/2" higher than stock. The way I'll set the yard stick should answer your question.

It really doesn't matter how high your vehicle is. I just want to see the relative difference the boards make. Do they lessen the big step by three, four, or five inches, for example. That yard stick shot ought to do the trick.
Cheers!
