Flared Arches w/ Boards?!

[bozo]

So Im surfing around and see a picture of a 4.8 AND a 4.6 with Flared Arches AND Running Boards. Every dealer Ive spoken to says the two cant co-exist. Well now I know they can. Is there a special part number to order this under? Is it all one piece?

Yes they can co-exist, I have both on my 3.0d. Will post pics later.

Hi Bozo,
Seems like there are a lot of dealers who dont know what they are talking about.
Have a look below at Lemans X5.He also added the flares at the front when he installed the RBs .

Oh man, thats one mean ride...So do the part numbers for the flares differ if you have the running boards? Or can I go out and buy these right now, and worry about the running boards later? And I do mean RIGHT NOW, btw....LOL

Im having the same issue with the dealer.

So to clarify.
The above part numbers are ONLY for the flares I need to order for my 06 4.8is, then I need to order the running boards, just the starndard ones, no special part number on the running boards for the 4.8is? These part numbers are also for the flared version, not the standard version????
I already have flares on my 4.8is, and the dealer keeps telling me the running boards will not fit.
