Running Board Mounting Kit

The Running Board Mounting Kit by WESTIN (SKU WES27-1885) is the foundation you need for a professional running board installation on trucks and SUVs. Whether you're adding functional side steps for easier vehicle access, creating a more commanding stance, or preparing a platform for auxiliary equipment, this mounting kit delivers the structural integrity required for long-term reliability. Running boards have become essential modifications for truck owners who demand both practicality and enhanced aesthetics, and proper mounting hardware ensures safety and durability under real-world driving conditions.

Built to WESTIN's exacting standards, this mounting kit features precision-engineered hardware designed to interface seamlessly with factory body lines and frame geometry. The kit's engineering accounts for suspension articulation, ensuring brackets maintain alignment through full suspension travel without binding or stress concentration. At 15 lbs, the complete assembly reflects robust steel construction that resists vibration-induced loosening and provides the load-bearing capacity required for repeated vehicle entry and exit—especially critical for commercial or work applications where running boards experience heavy daily use. The measured dimensions of 12 x 3 x 16 inches accommodate standard truck body profiles while maintaining clearance from suspension and undercarriage components.

This mounting kit is ideal for technicians and enthusiasts performing running board installations on late-model trucks and full-size SUVs. Installation requires basic hand tools and mechanical competency; proper torque sequencing is essential to prevent warping or misalignment. Once mounted, the kit provides a stable platform for OEM or aftermarket running board attachment, ensuring pedestrian safety and long-term structural security. Verify fitment with your specific vehicle year, make, and model before purchase, as running board mounting hardware varies significantly across platforms and body styles.
