Overview
The Westin 27-1455 mount kit holds Sure Grip molded running boards on 1999 to 2007 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. It is a direct-fit kit for 1500, 2500, 2500 HD and 3500 models.
Coverage spans several series and trims across both brands, so match your exact model, year and trim rather than relying on the overall year range.

Checking the mounts over time
Running board mounts carry the weight of a passenger climbing in and out, and they absorb road and trail vibration every time the truck moves. Over time, the points where the bracket meets the frame or cab can loosen, so check fasteners for tightness and look for cracks or flexing around the bracket.
Surface rust on steel brackets is common on trucks driven in wet or salted conditions. Clean and treat any spots early. Because the boards sit low, they also affect approach angle and side clearance, and they can strike rocks or stumps on trail work. Replacing a worn mount is usually simpler than repairing one, and it is worth inspecting the boards at the same time since both parts wear together.
- Tighten fasteners after the first few drives
- Look for cracks or bent brackets near the frame
- Treat rust early on exposed steel
- Replace boards and mounts together when either shows wear
