I'd do it myself but I don't think other people would like me poking around under their truck... altho I was able to find out they are 9.8 bolts... I bought a set of harley running boards and need to get the right hardware. I bought a set of u-nuts and 10.9 metric bolts but I think the bolts I got are too short and the diameter might be too big... can someone get under their truck and pull out a bolt or two and measure them? I know the bolt that goes horizontal goes into a u-nut. and I assume the same for the vertical bolt, but im not sure. if anyone has any info I would appreciate it

 

I just put a set on my truck, luckily he included a ll of the hardware. I dont think the length matters so much as long as your not over 2 inches. If you've got to have the exact lenght I can mesure later.

 

I know the horizontal bolts used the u-nuts for sure. did the vertical bolts also use those clip on u-nuts.

nice truck BTW.

 

Yeah they both used the same stlye clips but the ones that go on the bottom were smaller than the ones on the top.

 

I got out under there with a bracket and it looks like the hardware I got will work.. now all I need to do is get everything painted

 

running boards on a lowered truck?!?

pansy.

 

Im wondering why you would put them on myself but hey its whatever you want

 

you guys obviously havn't seen the harley davidson running boards

 

They're cosmetic.

 

Everyone always askes me if they come out when you open the door haha. Nope, just for looks.

 

I like the knock off version of them but just cant justify spending the money. Plus that would be too much chrome on my truck

 

knock off version?

 

yup I believe they are made by westin and are half the price of the OEM harleys. I cant remember that guys username that had them but he had the black 04 on 24's and traded for an 08 psd. He used to be really active on here

 

oh... the sport tubes. ya those are like the old harley f150's the new 06+ are a little different. the harley rockers are a painted peice with a stainless steel strip at the top

 

The HD ones are cosmetic, but I have PTM running boards and like them. It makes the truck look lower to the ground, and makes it so my exhaust blends instead of making it stand out and break clean lines. Speaking of clean lines, if I took them off my front valence would be lower than my side panels. And it'd look stupid. I'd have to buy sideskirts or something.
