running boards for dually

I am looking for some running boards with no mud flap for the front, and on the rear section I would like it to widen out. I was wondering if people had any pics of non diamond plate running boards that go all the way from front wheel to rear wheel (dont want single piece) for a dually and post the name of the boards. It is hard to find any that I like.

Stull makes a set like what you are looking for. I believe J&J and Laverne make them also but do not quote me on either of those two as I am going by remembery and I don't know if I even got the names right.

The stull's taper out from the front tire about a foot or so and the bed board tapers from the width of the front boards to the width of the dual fenders. You can get them in either 1.5" or 3" tube.

The one complaint I have about them is that the rear boards do not install without hacking at them. That is the reason the rear boards are still not on my truck.

If you want the part numbers, I can dig through my stuff and get them.

Do you want running boards or step bars? I have a set of step bars that swoop out for the dually fenders made by innovative creations that I like. I have also seen some duallys running around with like SS smooth running boards that go front to rear and also swoop out for the dually fender but not sure who makes them sorry bout that.

Hey Vince, those boards would be the ones I mentioned. I think those three manufactures are the only ones making that style of running board. At least they were the ones I could find when looking for my boards.

I noticed that the running board prices are unbelievable and then there is also that shipping costs... And they dont evend make the right ones to my taste, so I built those for my self with my buddy.

I have rear fender plates, but I havent bolted those on yet.

Those work fine with the aftermarket fender flares.

No offense fellers but I've seen those running boards on a couple of trucks and the ones I've seen look like crap. They look like you just threw some metal together with a welder and threw them under the truck. I prefer the diamond plate ones because they don't show up the scratches as easily as plain flat ones. I have the MOPAR units and I think they are great. They have the rear well cover but none on the front side.....

About $1000 installed, from a local shop. You can purchase them online for about $700.

I've had J&J Enterprise on my last couple of trucks. These are the bigger tubes on my 2004 which I prefer but the quality isn't as good as the ones on my 95.
