Overview:

The Go Rhino RB20 Slim Running Boards Kit is engineered specifically for the 2011–2018 Ram 1500, delivering rugged protection and enhanced functionality with a sleek, low-profile design. These running boards provide a full-length stepping surface that sits close to the cab, improving ground clearance for off-road adventures while offering a reliable platform for easier vehicle access. Ideal for truck owners seeking a combination of durability, style, and practicality, the RB20 Slim Line boards protect your vehicle’s lower panels from flying debris and road hazards without compromising on clearance or aesthetics.

Whether you’re navigating rugged trails or cruising city streets, these running boards enhance your truck’s utility and appearance.

Key Features:

The RB20 Slim Running Boards offer a range of features that balance toughness, style, and functionality:

• Constructed from heavy-duty 16-gauge zinc-coated galvanized steel for superior strength and corrosion resistance
• Slim, bullet-stamped design measuring 5 1/2 inches wide for a sleek profile and increased ground clearance
• Full-length step platform that runs the entire cab length for convenient entry and exit
• Raptor-inspired styling that adds an aggressive, modern look to your Ram 1500
• Protective bedliner coating or textured black powder coat finish options for enhanced durability and rugged appearance
• Includes all necessary mounting brackets for a secure, factory-style installation
• Designed to fit tightly against the cab, minimizing protrusion and reducing the risk of damage during off-road use
• Backed by a 5-year limited warranty for peace of mind

Construction & Design:

The RB20 Slim Running Boards are crafted from 16-gauge zinc-coated galvanized steel, providing a robust foundation that resists rust and corrosion in harsh environments. This material choice ensures long-lasting durability, even under the stress of off-road conditions and exposure to the elements. The bullet-stamped tread pattern not only enhances grip but also reinforces the board’s structural integrity.

The slim profile, measuring 5 1/2 inches at its widest point, is a deliberate design evolution from the original RB20’s wider 7 1/2-inch platform. This reduction in width allows the running boards to hug the cab more closely, improving ground clearance and reducing the likelihood of snagging on rocks or obstacles. The protective bedliner coating option adds an extra layer of abrasion resistance, while the textured black powder coat finish offers a sleek, durable surface that complements the truck’s exterior.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation of the Go Rhino RB20 Slim Running Boards Kit is straightforward and designed to fit the 2011–2018 Ram 1500 without the need for drilling or modifications. The kit includes custom mounting brackets engineered to align with the factory mounting points, ensuring a secure and stable fit. This bolt-on installation process allows for a clean, professional look and reliable performance.

All hardware and brackets are included, making it a complete solution for upgrading your truck’s side protection and accessibility. The tight fit against the cab also means the running boards maintain the vehicle’s factory ground clearance and off-road capability.

What's Included:

• RB20 Slim Running Boards (cab-length)
• Custom mounting brackets
• All necessary installation hardware
• Protective bedliner coating or textured black powder coat finish (depending on selected option)
