To OP... I already had your running boards installed; however, I'm just wondering how much weight they support because I wanted to know if two people can step on them at the same time?
You’ll have no issues at all with two people on them at the same time. I’ll conservatively say they support 600 pounds.

Dang… I was planning on using it like Hondo in SWAT and have 4 Rivian forum members hanging off each side when we go off-roading with the R2 and R3.

Got mine installed! Great packing and no damage like I’ve seen reported with some other brands. Took about 3 hours total to install, including unpacking and set up. No complaints and would highly recommend!

Looks Great!
Just ordered for my R1S.
Great SUV but it is too high for my wife even at kneeling mode.

My parents (90 and 95) used to have hard times getting in-and-out on the lowest setting. Now with the running boards, they can get in-and-out without any help.

I'm still happy with my. I just rotated my tires a couple of days ago with the running boards on. No problem with the jack points.
My service center has warned me that they will not jack up any car that has stock jack points blocked. I had ordered megawatt's rock sliders but now I am reconsidering as the rear jack points will be blocked.

Do you have any issues with any of the stock jack points with these RealEV running boards?

no issue at all! Clear way to the jack point using the pucks.

May I ask what made you consider these over the EV Sportline boards?
For me, it was the stainless vs non-stainless.
