DSS or D6?

ChanceA51BD

I've been going back and forth on this for days. I searched and read all I could find. I like the Go Rhino DSS and D6 steps. We have a 4 Door Black Diamond, non-SAS. It's got the regular fenders and black steel wheel with stock tires (for now). I may go up to 33 in the future at some point, but probably still keep the stock wheel.

I'm concerned the DSS isn't a big enough step, but the D6 will be too big. I'm 6' and will probably not use it getting out. Will the D6 be in my way or overpower the rest of the aesthetics? My wife and kids would use it as a step. Practicality > looks. We need to get in and out, and I can hopefully use the steps to protect the paint more from slung rocks and other doors.

Any advice? Any pictures of a stock black diamond with either? Profile or looking down the side?

I'll also be selling the stock rock sliders, and I'm in the Houston Area.

D6 has removable stirrups if you want them and are large enough to help prevent rock chips from tires. Love them, even after almost 5 months.

Thanks. I saw your rig during my search. I think it looks great on the SAS configs and size appropriate. What I can't find is enough pictures of the D6 on non-SAS.

These look like a great solution! Did you install them yourself? If so, how difficult was it?

Have you looked at the RB20s?? I have them on my Gladiator and love them. I plan on running them on my Bronco when I get it.

There was an issue with the brackets not being strong enough and the boards bending. Has been posted on this site and go rhino was trying to come up with a redesign, but hadn't as yet.

I have the ZRoadZ rails/steps on my bronco.

Kinda like those. How's the slip factor when they are wet?

There is a tiny bit of texture to the finish on them, so they are not completely smooth. If you zoom in on these pics you can see it. I was debating on putting a rhino liner paint on them, but not sure if it’s needed. They do make getting in and out of the bronco much easier.

I've seen people put strips of grip tape on running boards that tend to be slick.

My OCD would kick in if the tape didn’t look good. :ROFLMAO:
