Just a quick update on my attempt to return my purchase from these folks. I'm in the waiting stage. They authorized my return and per UPS tracking they accepted the packages. Now I'm waiting to see if I receive a refund of all or a portion of my purchase.

I hope they work for you as well. The brackets are the issue, or were for me. They use one bracket type for most all applications and they are not a good fit for our rocker panels. They are not wide enough to provide solid support of the board. I'm picking up my OEM boards today.
Best of luck.

So far, so good... Actually ordered them Saturday around 4pm and received the boards about 10 minutes ago. I'll post some pics of the kit (5" Gladiators) out of the box.. then the after pics when I put them on.... Maybe they changed the brackets or I got a different type... they seem pretty solid... about 1/4" steel with a rough black matte finish... the actual boards seem pretty well put together and the chrome end caps seem of decent quality.... I'm going to go put them on now and I'll get the pics up when I'm through...

realtruck.com treated me GREAT!!
The deezee stepsides I got last month were terrible. They had scuffs and dents. But I was able to return them the same day and realtruck dot com gave me a FULL refund.

I started a new thread with my boards installed... but it was a very simple install, took about 30 mins and turned out fine... bolts lined up, fitment was perfect and adjustable for front/back and out/in.

I got my running boards from them too. I had to contact them to get some missing hardware but I got them installed today and they turned out great. I am a big guy and I'm pleased with the sturdiness of them. You can't beat the price. I attached a couple of pics (cell phone quality). Overall, I'm very pleased.

5" Gladiators
I bought a set of 5" Gladiators from their eBay store and had a good experience with them. The boards were around $30 or $40 cheaper than their website. Came pretty quick and installed pretty well. 2nd one installed faster than the first once I figured out what was going on. Instructions weren't the greatest. The boards were better quality than I was expecting. I figured the endcaps would be thin sheetmetal but they were fairly thick and looked to be cast. Length was good and look great on the truck.
