Ram Running Boards Side Steps Compatible with 2019-2025 Ram 1500 Crew

In this review of the Ram Running Boards Side Steps, the bottom line is simple: these side rails are for Ram 1500 Crew Cab owners who want a sturdy, easy to install step that improves access to the roof and doors. The reviewer found the two stair design especially useful for vehicles with lift kits or oversized tires, and the bolt-on installation meant the upgrade was straightforward. Overall the boards strike a practical balance between durability and functionality for everyday truck use.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed specifically for 2019 through 2025 Ram 1500 New Body Crew Cab models, so buyers can expect a direct fit for 4 full-size door trucks.
• Two stair design: The dual-layer layout and three raised steps give easier roof access and better clearance for lifted trucks or oversized tires.
• Heavy-duty construction: Built from 2mm carbon steel to deliver strong support and a weight capacity of about 550 pounds per side for secure footing.
• Durable finish: Black powder coating protects against rust and corrosion for longer outdoor service life.
• Non-slip surface: Precision laser cutting and stamping create a textured step surface to improve traction in wet or muddy conditions.
• Simple installation: Bolt-on mounting with precut holes and included brackets and hardware lets a single installer complete setup in roughly 20 minutes.

Who It's For

The Ram Running Boards Side Steps suit owners of 2019-2025 Ram 1500 New Body Crew Cab trucks who need reliable, wider stepping surfaces and improved roof access, particularly those with lift kits or larger tires who struggle with standard single-step bars. It is also a good match for owners who want a bolt-on solution that does not require drilling or cutting.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of non-Crew Cab Ram 1500 models or other pickup models where fit is not guaranteed, and buyers seeking ultra-lightweight aluminum running boards rather than heavy steel construction.
