Any aftermarket running boards going to fit my R/T? Frustration mounting
#21
I really, really like these. So much so that I'm sitting with them in my cart on Amazon right now. However, does anyone know if the mounting holes are the same on the 2014? I would guess that they are, but the fact that no website lists these as compatible on the 2014 has me very worried. Before I drop almost $400, I want to be sure they'll fit.
Sorry Mcfarl, I don't know if they fit the 14. I can tell u they go into existing holes so theres no drilling. I would see if dealer part number changed for mopar bars for 14, see how they mount and see if what's on mine mounts the same way. With Dee Zee u need to order boards AND vehicle specific mount kit. I wouldn't want u to get excited when the boards show up and there's no way to get them on the truck. I love having them for the look, keeping snow and rocks from kicking up. I have found myself using them (i step up into work truck too) and I dont slide on the leather getting in/out. I personally like boards on the R/T. I try to have a different look. But felt it rude if I didn't share my knowledge since more than a few are looking for options. My local shops didn't want to touch boards/tubes or my front bar. I had to do the research, order and install. The guy who did my hitch wouldn't go near the front bar because of the work involved (was afraid to damage paint) it also had like 500 miles on it.

I cant say for sure but I think 2014 refresh was basically bumpers, headlight, taillights, transmission, console, steering wheel and probably a few small things I am missing. I don't think they changed rocker panels or made major unibody changes. I would say call Dee Zee and ask, see if u can get under a 13 and look/take pictures, etcto compare. Find a download of install instructions with pictures or even order just mounting kit and try to install them. If they fit, take off and order boards. If not it less to return. I just ordered all of it and took gamble. I also have several friends with fabrication skills so one way or another they were going on!

Ok, don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. Downloaded the instructions for the DeeZee running boards. Going to go home tonight as there are pictures on the instructions that show the mounting holes. If everything looks good, I'll be ordering and updating everyone, hopefully with pics of the running boards successfully mounted.
