Looking at multiple sites to find a set of running boards I like. Originally was going to go with a GoRhino but they will not be releasing any quad cab versions until early 2021. Lets see what everyone with a Quad Cab has.

Ionic 5" Stainless Curved Nerf Bars.
How much ground clearance did you loose with those? They look good.
As they sit the bottom of the step is9.5 inches from ground. I may swap them out for something tighter. For now they work as expected and give a solid step in and out

I have them for my Crew Cab, and I really like them, except for the lowest bar. It hangs down more than I thought it would, reducing ground clearance (if that's important).
How much past the skid plates does it hang?

It's about even with the gas tank plate, and about 1/2" lower than the transfer case plate. When measuring from the ground it was about 12" from ground to lowest point at the point between the doors.

5" Black Oval Running Boards
Not much mention as to price and width---4", 5", 6". Any new pics with info. I have 2021 Bighorn with the quad cab. Has anyone used CARiD. I'm sort of leaning toward wheel to wheel so I can step up to reach in the bed. Here's a link to the CARiD ones, Thanks

You can probably get many different styles and manufacturers at CARID...although I did not look. Quad Cabs don't have as many side steps available as the Crew Cab models, and even less that are available as wheel to wheel. I was torn between black and stainless types, and based on the Chrome wheels I got on mine- I got Stainless and wheel to wheel. I choose Westin ProTrax 5's in Stainless and got them from a local shop for $565. They are 5 inch.

I went with Westin because I had their stainless on my last truck with no issues on my part, and they appeared to be a well built and quality product. I really didn't look at this from a standpoint of "Do I want 5 inch or do I want 6 inch". I looked at what was available for Quad Cab and wheel to wheel and bought. My only wavering on this was wanting black steps in case I changed out the wheels to Night versions. In the end I stuck with stainless.
