I installed some on my lariat when I got it and never looked back.

Yeah, I watched a truck show, cant remember the name of the show, but two guys that work on cars. They had an episode where they put on retractable running boards on a truck. I was thinking about that episode and putting some on mine.

Thanks for the tip.

Anyone wants to chime in that has remounted the factory steps, I would sure like to hear what you did. Thanks.

A friend just bought a lariat and he seems to hate how tight the boards are. He is on a mission to move them out.
If you don't get an answer before and he's successful, I'll look you back up.

Cool, thanks man. I am glad I am not alone. The placement of the running boards are horrible. Like I said I can only get my toes on it and it is way to high. I am going over to the dealer today or tomorrow to get a few things looked at. I will also give you a shout if I get something. Thanks!

Very nice truck PawPaw, it's nice to see people enjoying their truck so much. I agree, my 13 FX4 has 10,000 miles on it now & I still get a thrill every time I drive it. I have no complaints, I love these trucks.
