Dee Zee NXc Vs. Ionic CXV Running Boards

[jmrwd3]

Hi all! A member of our family has recently had a replaced hip and broke an ankle, so I decided to pull the useless factory boards as I really want something functional. I see that most members on here are selecting either the Dee Zee product or the Ionic running boards, and I was wondering if anyone knows which offers the most toe space. I am leaning towards the Ionic boards, as it looks like the Dee Zee you have to trim a bit, but if they offer more space then its totally worth the effort.

Thanks all,

they are about the same but the fit and finish of the IONIC is far superior to the DEEZEE

I'm also considering nerf bars, these look really sturdy, and the foot pad looks great!

little too F150 for my tastes. What about NFAB? they are great steps

Ionic's look better and sleeker. Still contemplating buying some as I only have Husky Mud Guards.

I agree about the look of nerf bars, I'm gonna check out the NFAB setup now, that seem like a pretty ideal setup. Has anyone w/ the ionic boards noticed a difference in usability compared to the stock boards?

Ive had IONIC and now have NFAB. For a slim factory look Ionic wins... for a more rugged look I like NFAB. The DeeZee (in black) I liked but there is a pronounced gap between the body and board and too many horror stories with their shipping so I opted to pass

Best deal on Ionic (Call these guys dont order online and tell them to give you a deal... they will

These are all fantastic tips, Thank You!

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the DeeZee boards and hope they arrive in good condition - I feel they offer the most toe space, I'll post picts after all is installed!
