Assist Steps / Running Boards / Nerf Bars

SouthernSilveradoGuy85 · May 6, 2015

Received my N-Fab Cab Lengths today and installed them. Took about an hour with my son helping me. Before, after and close up pics.

Love mine, but since getting Weston Wheel to Wheel steps on my 98 I had to also go for the bed access for this one. Mine are powdercoated though and so far the steps have held up great when I've banged them on a concrete curb, different one on each one. Of course it scrapped up the powdercoat but didn't hurt the bars at all. They're also much sturdier than the Weston 3" tube once I had on my 98. My 400 lb friend can attest to that lol.

Thanks, Thrasher I really like the look of them. I looked at the RB10's too but I wanted something a little lower profile to the truck.

I plan on keeping the topper on so bed access wasn't as important to me. The finish and the construction on them seem really durable.

Has anyone on here put on the Dee Zee NXT. About to pull the trigger on a Denali and think these would look good matching the chrome on the truck. I really don't like the metal bleacher seats they call running boards that come stock on the truck.

I'm on the fence between a set of all black Dee Zee nxt or waiting 2 months on the Go Rhino rb10 the only thing about the Dee Zee nxt is I read it might require drilling and I really don't want to drill anything.

Yeah, I'm with you. I love the style/design of both. Just thinking the RB10 or all black on the Dee Zee NXT might be a little rugged/Raptor'ish with all the chrome on the Denali.

Wow, just looked again and didn't realize you had to buy the mounting brackets separately.

I spot an early build bumper you got there

Steps look great btw, after amps, those Magnum steps are my personal favorite. Look mean

I'm ordering the N-Fab wheel to wheel, 2 step, nerf bars soon.

The website I'm looking at says the shortest bed style is 5ft 9.2 in. I thought the short boxes were 5ft 8in?

Also, what's the difference between black powder coated and textured black? The textured black is a special order and the website says it's a 4-6 week wait. They are both the same price.

Thanks.

The black powdercoat is a glossy black finish and the textured is a matte rough finish. Not quite bedliner rough, but like textured walls rough. I have the textured finish and I. An tell you that you might want to be prepared to wait longer than 4 to 6 weeks. Mine took 8.

We'll I got the Dee Zee nxt running boards installed, had some pics to post but am unable to for some reason on my iPad. They look good. They're not all that low profile as they appear in the pics on the website but they will do.

Wish I could figure out how to post these pics..

Another, what do you guys think?

Nice low profile look. The go good with the truck. Is it easy to step on upon exiting the truck? That's why I like the Amps. They are very functional and usable. I usually step over the normal steps.

Yes they feel good stepping on them getting in and out
