N-fab steps


Recommended Posts

I have them on mine. The steps are a bit small. Your foot does get a good grip because of the perforation, but not much. Really can not use them if you can only partially open the door. Length and width are not great. Would not buy them again.

 

Chevy has factory ones simular, but bigger steps. Don't recall if they were only for the 1500 or the 2500 also. Just a bit $$.

I'm running them on my 2500HD. I love the looks, and they're great for climbing into the truck. Using them to exit the truck isn't as easy. I'm still trying to figure out what works best for me. Lately, I've just been stepping out the exact same way I step in.

I'm not very happy with them.

 

1: small surface area

2: slick surface area

3: only 5 mounting points on passenger side (I contacted mfg about this, due to def box, even though I have a gasser)

4: cheap mounting hardware

5: poor durability finish

6: related to #4, rattling noises; I fixed when I replaced the hardware.

 

I did like the look before the finish went to crap.

I do like the access it provides to bed toolbox.

I hope to attempt to apply bed liner to them this spring.

 

I would not buy again or recommend them.

I forgot to add, that the passenger side of my Nfab needed to be "adjusted" to fit properly. It was bowed in the center slightly.

 

Here is what I would get the next time (okay, if I wasn't so dang cheap): http://www.ebay.com/itm/23194635-Silverado-Sierra-OEM-Black-Off-Road-Assist-Side-Steps-NEW-Crew-Cab-/272054764376#vi-ilComp

 

Not promoting that particular seller. Just the steps.

My truck came with the big chrome 2x4's, and were going to get yanked off as soon as I got home. However my 7 and 9 year old loved the idea of having a step to help get them in truck. So I left them on and did install mud flaps to keep the slush and snow off the top of them. The boards did do a great job of keeping the side of truck clean and actually made great steps, but I couldn't stand the way they looked. I finally purchased a set of n-fab black cab length bars, used for $250. I really like how they look, but aren't as good of a step as the chrome 2x4s. I think no steps at all look the best, but the kids still need a step, so I'll have the n-fabs for a while.

I have N-fabs on my '15. I'm on the third set due to rust and this third set is just starting to rust. Second set was showing rust within a week. Every set has started to rust at the welds. They have a 5 year guarantee on corrosion and have honored it but I'm sick of it. Ive installed the bars more times then the oil has been changed so far.

 

As mention above steps are good for getting in but do not work good for exiting. Also passenger side rattles and creek and have to re-torque bolts once in awhile even with loctite applied.

 

Ill be requesting a refund soon from them to deal with rust they have had 3 chance to fix it and haven't. Im going with GM steps next

I have the GM Chrome round tubes on mine, not crazy about them and looking to replace them.

They are very narrow and I have slipped a few times already.

On my 1500 trucks, I always had the wider 5-6" "board" looking steps and I personally think they are safer and more functional.

Just my $.02
