I just called the other place and the nerfs are still on backorder, so, I cancelled the order and got these from Ebay - 2 sets, $189 per set with free shipping.

Will post photos of them on my wife's white/gray and my yellow/gray trucks when I get them installed.

The seller is in Florida, as am I, so, I ordered on Monday and they were here on Wednesday.

$189, SHIPPED. They sell them in their regular online store and charge a bit more..

Here's a link to the black ones on Ebay! NOTE: The link is for the CREW CAB size!

Thanks for the pix!! Huge help. It says billet, do they seem pretty strong? Is there much flex?

Thanks again

They look decent and should be strong. But Billet - please. It's obviously an extrusion - look at the end profile in their ad. A billet big enough to make running boards out of and the machine work would cost big $$$$.

Well, I just received my boards and I'm not happy. As Oldjeep said, these are extrusion and THIN extrusion at that. The worst part is the brackets which will not mount solidly to the points provided by Dodge. The flex caused by the poor bracket set up and the thin extrusion lead to a LOT of flex. I didnt expect wonderful quality for the price but this is below what I expected. I'm trying to work with the retailer to arrange an exchange. We'll see how it goes. If not, anybody what a cheap set of runningboards?

I like my Mopar ones cuz they match the honeycomb grille and also the design on the rubber on top of rear bumper. But those black one look sweet, I got mine free thru the handicap program since I am paraplegic so I guess I could afford 189!
