Cab-Length Running Boards

Cab-Length Running Boards

Cab-length running boards run from the front wheel well to the back of the cab, giving you a wide, flat step into every door of your pickup. This collection covers flat and drop running boards from ARIES, Westin, Luverne and TrailFX in aluminum, black steel and polished stainless, built for specific trucks, cabs and model years.

Running Board Styles

  • Flat aluminum boards: Luverne MegaStep and SlimGrip boards are light and rust-resistant.
  • Steel and stainless boards: ARIES NovaTrac (polished stainless or black e-coat), ARIES RidgeStep and AscentStep, Westin HDX and Westin AT boards, and TrailFX flat and triangular boards.
  • Drop running boards: Westin Outlaw Drop boards put the step lower for lifted and HD trucks.
  • Electric running boards: ARIES ActionTrac and Westin Pro-e boards extend when a door opens. See all power running boards.

Cab-Length vs. Other Steps

A cab-length board gives a bigger platform than a tube step. If you'd rather have a slimmer step, compare nerf bars and truck side steps. If you also want to reach the bed from the side, shop wheel to wheel running boards.

Fitment and Brackets

Running boards are sized by cab style (regular, extended/double or crew cab) and model year. Some boards ship without brackets and need a matching kit from running board mounting brackets. See all truck running boards and side steps.

Cab-Length Running Boards FAQs

What does cab-length mean?

The board covers the length of the cab only, ending behind the rear door. Wheel to wheel boards keep going to the rear wheel.

Are aluminum or steel running boards better?

Aluminum is lighter and won't rust. Steel boards are often less expensive, and polished stainless resists rust while keeping a bright finish.

Do I need a different board for a crew cab?

Yes. Crew cabs need longer boards than extended or regular cabs, so match the cab style in the product title.

Are drop running boards good for lifted trucks?

Yes. A drop board sets the step lower than a flat board, which shortens the first step into a tall truck.
