Well, plenty of info around here on aftermarket sources of tubular side bars, but as for the running boards, not as many choices. One good place to get Av-specific running boards at way less than the steep retail (if you want to find a better deal on new, try a site sponsor or GMParts direct) is to get them used right here - running boards seem to come up for sale on here (Parts for Sale area) with good frequency. Just be sure you look for 03 boards, because the 02's will be in the lighter cladding color and they won't match.

Every once in awhile, you can find them on eBay too. I got mine from a member here, and was so glad I did. The dealership I almost bought from wanted $990 for them installed!!!
Anyway, I think you can find them at dealerships for about $400 NOT installed, but the install is seriously like 20 minutes total.

Keep your eyes peeled, and you will find some!

Here is a company selling the nurf bars for the Avalanche: Running Board Wolrd

Looks like they do a stainless steel side step too.

Here is what Truck Stuff USA is selling. ?They have stuff from Weston at a fairly reasonable price, it seems.

You get your choice of the 80" lighted or unlighted.

Check with the two site sponsoring dealerships, I purchased mine from the one in CA. The price including shipping and tax was still about $125 cheaper than the "best" price from my dealership I bought my Av from.
