Welcome and congrats. If you currently own or traded in a non fca vehicle...

Make sure you go file for this additional rebate. Seems like they have been having problems with vin numbers being in the system so you have to call them so they send you the actual app. Do it 60 days of purchase. Many of us have already received our checks. No strings attached.

The only qualification is that “someone in your household” must have a non-FCA vehicle.

Nice, they installed the boards backwards ;) little silver plate goes to the back(wider at back if plate is at back). Does the hitch step interfere with your sensors, looks pretty close. I went with the beaver step. Half the size of the GoRhino.

Your chatting with the installer LOL. It's actually installed correctly. I will check my truck in the morning but i believe the wider side is in the back and the logo is in the narrow part in the front.

Check out this install:

I chose the RB20 hitch step 1) the real estate comes in handy (very functional) 2) very stable 3) matches the running boards.

It does not interfere with the sensors. I can also see it from the rear view camera so parking is no issue.

Joking about boards, its all a preference which way you want them. I like wider on front to catch a few more stones(debris) keeps the side of truck cleaner. :)

Very nice! Was thinking of doing the exact same thing and reusing the stock tires. I was told that you'd need to size up to the 20" because the calipers are so large. Do you have the +1 or -12 offset? (Looks like +1; difficult to tell).

How close did you get the running board to the body of the truck? Wondering if you could post pics of the front and the rear, I think they sent me the wrong RB20? Can’t decide which ones the passenger or driver side? Thanks

Love the set up you have there. I was considering those same wheels for my Rebel, but changed my mine last minute and went with these 4Play Wheels 4P80

sorry for the late response. I am forgetting what the installer told me but this wheel is designed to fit the factory setting. If i am not mistaken, there is an offset but it's extremely minimal. You can ask any wheel specialist for the oem replacement of the Fuel Rebel wheel and they will tell you the offset.

my rambox is warped unfortunately. I took it to the dealership and they did what others are going through "took pictures and submitted them to Chrysler." I am still waiting to hear back.

sorry for the late response. I am about 1/8" inch off the truck. you have slight play to it so you can decide yourself how far you want it out from the body of the truck. the boards are reversible. the go rhino logo needs to be in the front of the truck. the rear is a bit wider than the front but you can install it to your liking - simply switch the sides.

Your look its very aggressive. I really like it. I did not want to add any extra unsprung weight. Plus 18" wheels and tire set is much cheaper than anything 20 inch and over. Plus i have the air suspension and i don't want to use anything aftermarket to raise it as it can cause further systems issues that i do not want to deal with.
