I have those same ones on my '04 Avalanche. Really love them compared to the oval step bars that I had on there that completely rusted to crap after 3 years. I debated getting them for the Durango, but decided not to. Now that I know what they look like on it, I might have to reconsider that decision

Ultimately, I decided to give it a try, even though I wasn't sure about them at first. They came in before the wheels were installed, so holding them up to the Durango, they looked like they were going to stick WAY out. They are tucked in enough that when I get out of the Durango, they aren't much help to me. But, they do help my kids. And honestly, my kids getting in and out without climbing is the best part. I'm just glad they look good too.
Yes, they do look good, for sure. I wouldnt use them (dont even need to on my Avalanche) but I just like the look. They were handy on the Avy when my daughter was younger, but she's 16 now and just about as tall as I am, and she doesnt use the boards when getting in the truck any more.

They are from Westin. I had to order the mounting kit from a separate website. By the way, I was able to easily peel the Westin sticker off the running boards. No offense to westin, but I thought their sticker was really fugly, so it had to go.

I'll admit the front brackets were easy to put on. My husband said lots of foul language while putting on the back brackets. The space available to drill the hole that was needed way very tight.

Sadara... I pulled the link up that you listed for the mounting kit and modified to show the R/T. It states "Fits Dodge Durango R/T"... however you also mentioned that your husband had to drill holes? Was this necessary to the install?
Thanks in advance...
