how much do factory running boards weigh?

[bitangler]

I'd like to replace the factory running boards with rock sliders on my 2015 Trail, mostly to have more jack point options for off-road recovery.

Does anybody know how much the factory running boards I would be removing weigh? I'm trying to figure out what the net weight difference is going to be (ballpark), since I don't want to end up with a low-rider on the stock suspension...

Thanks!

The sliders additional weight would be insignificant.


Trail steps weigh 45lbs

As stated it won't matter.

The factory steps are not as light as you might think. I was surprised how heavy my factory rocker was when I took it off for the trail version.

I removed mine a couple nights ago after work. I couldn't believe how lite duty they were.
Mounted up my MetalTec's at 75lbs ea.
Found out why they don't supply installation instructions. It was stupid simple.
Even with KDSS did it alone in around 3 hours taking my time.
I definitely feel the difference in the ride. Like the first time I loaded it up for a camping trip.
Realized real quick that the stock suspension wasn't going to do it for me.
This was my first Mod, my suspention kit will be here Monday.
If you want to keep it stock I'd reccomend at least upgrade the shocks.
Which will then make you want the lift kit ..... Ggod Luck and have fun.

I think when I shipped out my stock running boards they were around 25lbs, new Shrockworks sliders are 100lbs combined.
