Thanks, i used your video rather than the instructions for my install, took 2 hours total. The new iboards have the nuts & bolts painted black and the support where 4 square bolts attach to the board is now 2 bolts only, makes more sense.
I obtained these from Amazon. Delivered within 2 days! Look great. Very functional and are sturdy. The black hardware should be painted as the factory paint is very thin. After I installed them, I found this video. It would have cut the install time in half. Good vid, thanx.
The Technique is to use a screwdriver people!! To push up against the plate to help guide it into the hole while holding the stupid loose bolt. I used a screwdriver to help rotate the plate. Worked like a charm
Good job of filming. That looked like it would be tough to film. I have those boards with slightly different brackets but there are enough holes in the rocker panel for different kinds. The only thing I did was add a piece of diamond plate the make the steps a little bigger under the doors.

When you dropped the bolt into the body (middle & rear), did you have a hard time feeding it back out from the hollow area? I noticed the video cut and I was curious if you had to work out back out. Just ordered and was wondering how much space you have in that hollow area. Thanks
Question so it’s been a while I’ve been wanting to purchase somthing simple like this. Of course majority of steps should be durable. But question is if someone we’re timberland or have outsole of rubber cowboy boots does it cause slipping out the truck? Steps installed are coated black steel. Any tips or advice?
Okay. This most be the most difficult part. "Using the (loose) hex bolt to rotate the mounting plate inside" how can I rotate a plate with a (loose) bolt. And if I tighten the bolt. It's too small for a handle. Wish me luck 🤞
Yes be sure to make sure you have the right item when checking out from Amazon so you get the right product that fits your truck! Hope this helps you out. 🙂
Yes. I have those same boards and my brackets use the two lower holes and also a larger bolt and flange that fits int to the larger hole above (that is covered with tape). I'm not sure that it is structurally stronger though. Having all the weight on the rocker panel like that has cracked it at two of the attatchments. The system these guys are using spreads the weight a little more.
The truck is already set up for running boards from the factory and the running boards use the pre drilled mounting locations for a sturdy clean install.
Keith, i installed Iboards on my 2017 Ram Big Horn.. my truck has all factory threads already in it, but if you don't you just use those plates for the backing like in the video. All i needed was a socket wrench with 13mm and 10mm I believe to tighten the bolts (if i recall every nut/bolt on there was only two different sizes total).. super easy, just takes a little time. If you have a buddy that can help it makes it even easier, but you can do it yourself easily and just need a socket wrench
I'm about to order the exact same Iboards that you have on your video. My 2016 Bighorn 5.7L is identical to your dads, as well. However, the link you've supplied in the description to Amazon, calls out for a crew cab. Your father's truck is not a crew cab. Just to let you know, people might blindly order the wrong Iboard.
Thank you for this. tried installing it last weekend and lost the bolt in the frame hahah. Finally got it out and time to try again after seeing this.

Thank you for your view and feedback we really appreciate it!
What year truck do you have? Is it a crew cab?
2017 Ram 1500 crew cab 5.7L. Best truck in the world.
what is the name of the install kit on amozon

Nice job, only thing, always level the board first before tightening the screws. Good job

Thanks Mike will do brother! 😬
Just bought a set for my Wife’s new Ram, thank you truly for the Intel and posting this video. Semper Fi.
Witch iboard is the best in a chrome finish.
This is the best vid I've seen so far. But the most difficult part you skipped. What's the technique to get that back plate inside there?
Just bought a set for my 1500 ecodiesel. My passenger original had a unfortunate run in with a tree stump. 😢
Ur dad looks excited with the tools
Recently purchase a 2016 Ram 2500 5.7. Need recommendation on good but budget friendly running boards
do most new running boards come with hardware for center and end brackets
When you dropped the bolt into the body (middle & rear), did you have a hard time feeding it back out from the hollow area? I noticed the video cut and I was curious if you had to work out back out. Just ordered and was wondering how much space you have in that hollow area. Thanks
Oh no it was very easy to feed it and get everything attached to it.
are they sturdy for a bigger guy whos handicapped, looking at getting a ram and looks like i need a set of these.
My dodge doesn't have the holes on the pinch weld, so it looks like I'm going to have to drill mine in, Yah
Very helpful video,just bought one,thanks
A great investment indeed! 🙂

I need to know how to put on running board for my 2500 dodge ram. Rough country running board. Thank you
Where can I buy the threading for the bolts to go into? I just bought some oem boards for my 2500 and didn't come with anything so I cant install them
great job. very informative
Did they suggest or advised not to use locktite? Did y'all? I'm getting a set in soon..
I don’t think the instructions recommended any locktite. We did not use any on the install and haven’t had any issues thus far.
Hemifam Thanks..
We’re is the link to this product?
What size are the pre drilled holes?
I have the same Truck, even same color, same year but mine is a quad cab, i believe it matters if it's a quad cab or a crew cab. Correct?
Yes be sure to make sure you have the right item when checking out from Amazon so you get the right product that fits your truck! Hope this helps you out. 🙂
Great video. I just don’t like the reveal on these boards and they ride outside the plane of the tires.
Is it a way to install these without using the two little holes with the other little metal piece
Yes. I have those same boards and my brackets use the two lower holes and also a larger bolt and flange that fits int to the larger hole above (that is covered with tape). I'm not sure that it is structurally stronger though. Having all the weight on the rocker panel like that has cracked it at two of the attatchments. The system these guys are using spreads the weight a little more.
Did I miss some drilling here, or is the truck set up for them already?
The truck is already set up for running boards from the factory and the running boards use the pre drilled mounting locations for a sturdy clean install.
I need the hardware to put my running boards on, but I can't find the hardware
Keith, i installed Iboards on my 2017 Ram Big Horn.. my truck has all factory threads already in it, but if you don't you just use those plates for the backing like in the video.

Pac Man Jones can this be on a 2014 normal cab? 4doors
@@pacmanjones5625 I forget which MM bolt it was but a 3/8" socket works but its tight. Probabaly the 13mm
Get your Hemi while you can. CAFE standards are gong to kill it. End of an era.
Al Ford Ha ha sucks for you you live in Henry's world. The HEMI IS, and will be!
Is it 4", 5" or 6" wide?
good job old man
Thanks for the install video. I just got some. Why are you calling it a Dodge? That name was dropped way back in 1999.. Its just Ram.
Just bought some 6” iboards for my ram. They don’t even send side support brackets anymore. The company has gotten cheap. Sent them back.
Jay Q any other similar products like this easy to install. 6 inch steps
