Running boards that do nothing after dark are half a product. Rough Country's AC2 Running Boards add integrated LED lighting to a heavy-duty one-piece steel platform, giving your 2015-2026 F-150, 2017-2026 Super Duty, or F-150 Lightning Crew Cab both a functional step surface and a light show that activates the moment you open the door. The black powder-coated finish handles rust, UV exposure, and road grime without complaint.
Selectable amber or white illumination. A discreet internal switch lets you choose between amber and white LED output to match your truck's style or visibility needs. A built-in magnetic sensor triggers the lights automatically when any door opens, so there is no fumbling for a switch in a dark parking lot.
Heavy-duty one-piece steel construction. The cab-length platform resists flexing and bending under repeated heavy use. Wide step surfaces and a lowered profile ease entry and exit on lifted trucks and stock-height rigs alike, while the full cab-length design covers exposed frame sections for a cleaner side profile.
Bolt-on fit with no modifications required. Installation uses basic hand tools and takes approximately 3 to 4 hours. No drilling, cutting, or welding needed, and the boards are compatible with aftermarket body lift kits without any bracket changes.
Rock and debris protection. Beyond the step function, the boards act as a shield against rocks, mud, and road debris that would otherwise hammer lower body panels and rocker trim.
