Well, yes and no, kinda sorta. Clear?
Actually, I installed
Westin Tube Steps (Mine are Black), not running boards. Just a personal preference of the step tube vs. the running board. You don't specify if you are talking about OEM or after-market... but the Westin's I added bolted right on. I had to remove some plastic plugs that were covering up the bolt holes, but it was a simple install.
Pop the plugs
Bolt on 3 brackets to each side
Bolt tube step to the brackets

The only 'special' tool (if you want to call it that), was a torque wrench. Didn't even have to jack the truck up - plenty of room to work - and Bruce can testify, I'm not a skinny dude.
I added them First for my 4 year old daughter (oops, she turned 5 on the 19th). The fact that I wanted them, and would have added them anyway, was just a coincidence... yup... seriously... really.
