lifted trucks- entry steps & running boards

I am thinking of adding an entry step or running board on my truck, who here has done it and what did you use?
I like the truck without them but my wife is complaining and I only have a 2.5" lift

Sidewinder makes a nice retractable step that is not too noticeable.

Re: lifted trucks- entry steps & running boards

Could you take a couple pics showing how you mounted those?

Re: lifted trucks- entry steps & running boards

that's cool. I looked a little into the power retracting running boards too. just not sure if I want to spend that kind of $ though. Anyone else with pics of just plain old steps or boards?

Not a "truck", but close enough. Just put these on about a month ago. Same reason as you, I prefer without, but my wife almost hurt herself real bad one day getting in, so I didn't have a choice anymore. The look isn't worth her getting hurt.
