I'm definitely in need of some nerf bars for my 2019 Trailboss, but I'm hesitant on buying a rocker mounted version.
My last truck, '03 Avalanche, had the old Westin's that corroded thru over the years, but mounts and frame were good thru 2003-2019.
I cannot seem to find frame mounted versions and about to give in and get a rocker mount version.
My concerns are:
-Corrosion from dissimilar metals
Rockers are the first items to rust thru, so why would I want to excel corrosion by adding dissimilar metals onto/into my rockers (brackets/hardware)?
Is there a method/product of rustproofing prior to installation that works best?
-Impact
If mildly hitting an item with the nerf bar/bracket the bracket for a frame mount could have a design break point allowing only damage to nerf bars/brackets, but
when attached to rockers this could cause serious body damage, especially if there's corrosion happening.
Any thoughts, or words of encouragement on rocker mounts?
