DEE ZEE boards fit on my 13. No drilling, no aggravation. They had adjustment in and out from truck about an inch. They are adjusted all the way out. Actually make the R/T look lowered. Here are two pictures, one before light bar one after.

1st successful mod in the books! Got the Mopar ones put on today at the dealership, an oil change at 1K miles, and dropped off the 80lb box in my garage to fedex. I really wanted to install them myself, but the ordeal with Romik running boards killed my mojo. Love the new look, I am going to sleep real well tonight. Weather is going to suck for the foreseeable future, so these pics are going to have to suffice for now. I love tire gloss

Thanks for the pics, I still would like to see them from a view that has the whole truck in them when the weather will allow. I see these in my future....

I got the same ones in chrome for my '12 Mineral Gray Crew . . . and for the same reasons -- local installers didn't want/couldn't to do it. Eff them. While the OEMs cost more at least if something goes wrong I can drive to the dealer and get it fixed.

Would love to see pics with the whole car. Not sure how I feel about the tubular style and would need to see it first. My wife's on my *** about getting running boards and/or body side molding after our latest door ding (which is being fixed this week btw). Hopefully the running boards will help somewhat with that problem as I imagine they stick out the furthest. Just don't want the mopar running board style because there's chrome on them and would look out of place on the R/T, IMO.

Wife wants the running boards mainly because it allows people to kick off their shoes before entering. Otherwise, you have to hit the skirt molding on the truck and that seems rather flimsy and possibility for damage and/or scratches is large.

And I really don't want to mount body side molding if I can avoid it because I personally don't like the look. Would rather have the running boards kill two birds with one stone.

I really, really like these. So much so that I'm sitting with them in my cart on Amazon right now. However, does anyone know if the mounting holes are the same on the 2014? I would guess that they are, but the fact that no website lists these as compatible on the 2014 has me very worried. Before I drop almost $400, I want to be sure they'll fit.
