Assist Steps / Running Boards / Nerf Bars

[Imcrazy]

I picked up a set of the 5" raptor magnums I have never installed nerf bars on a truck before. Anyone put these on their '14 yet? they are rocker mount FWIW.

 

I tried searching the forum with no luck so any tips for a smooth install?

 

Thanks!

are 3" nerf bars too small for my 2014 Silverado tungsten double-cab (2LZ w/ 20" chrome wheels)? or would 4" bars work better? going with Innovation Creations wheel-to-wheel, stainless steel for sure, just can't decide on size ... thanks!

There are so many nice step bars on the market for different prices. I had the 3" nerf bars on my 2002 Silverado and they worked fine. On my 2008 I got the 4" nerf bars and liked the look better. I just saw them at the dealers on the 2014 Silverado and 2014 Toyota Tundra with the 3" nerf bars and it was okay. I personally like the looks of the 4" but that is just a matter of choice. Just looks a little bit more beefer.

Can you show a full side view to see how discreet they look? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD

 

Here is the side view of my truck with the Bestop Powerboard NX. You can barely see them to be honest. They look a bit red in the picture because of the lighting/reflection.

Yeah thanks, saw them. I should have been more explicit, am interested to see some close ups of the fitment. As well a full side profile when they are closed as well as down. Want some, and will likely do them with the optional stainless trim pieces to line up/compliment the side chrome moldings on my '14 Sierrra.

Did you have to put spacers to get them even? The back of my powerboards are right up against the bottom of the truck, but the front is down maybe a 1/2 inch. Hard to see but annoys me regardless.

very easy 30 minutes a side. Front 2 brackets use factory bolts.

Can someone provide instructions for the 6" rectangular running boards for the crew cabs? Mine did not come with any instructions. Thanks! Feel free to PM me instead.

I liked the 4" round but thought this would protect the truck from rock dings

The brackets on my old truck mounted thru the body bolts but these mount to the inside of the bottom.

 

Is that style mount strong enough?

Found a steal on some N-Fab Wheel-to-Wheel steps on craigslist brand new for $150. They were for a CCLB so I just cut the end off even with the factory rear mud flap and you'd never be able to tell

Anyone ever tried these? And have any photos on your 2014?

Baggedvintegra, Can you please post a pic from the side. I really like those steps but would love to see a side view. Also where did you get them?

 

Thanks in advance

Says in his post he got them off Craigslist. They are made by NFAB.
