Seems to be one of the major concerns with the rep RBs - and understandably why. But suprisingly they are more functional than one would assume. Im 6'3" and about 230 and tried them out a few times - no movement or play in them at all. There is more support in the stock plastic sides than one would think (I would know because I had to drill through metal underneath the plastic for two of the mounting holes). Now for repeated use day in and day out -that could be another issue. But since I have no kids and the truck is actually pretty low, there is really no need to use them. They are there for aesthetics - and I think they complete the truck nicely

And thanks everyone for the replies!
