Assist Steps / Running Boards / Nerf Bars

bndawgs · September 30, 2016

Anyone have any opinions on either the Aries 4" oval or the Raptor 4" oe ovals? Think I've narrowed it down between those two.

I just ordered the N-Fab bed assist (3 steps) today from Autoanything and they knocked $50.00 off of listed $450.00 price. I used to not like how the steps looked now I think their the best looking (tough truck) ones out there. It's weird how our thinking changes once we are the ones selecting.

Pleased with Autoanything from past purchases plus these will be on by doorstep no later than Thursday.

I've got the same ones on my truck! I love them. In my opinion, they are by far the best looking nerf bars for our trucks

I have the same ones on mine, but less than a year of being installed there is rust bubbling up from under the paint. NFab will replace as part of the warranty, they were very helpful, the only thing is that you are stuck paying the shipping back. And for me it doesnt make sense to pay little over $125 to ship them back to houston when im already in houston, but they wont allow me to drop off in person instead of shipping them.. i bought them for the decent cost and quick delivery, (from seller on ebay, actual store not individual) now i need to decide what to do...

For the additional cost of shipping them back i can pay i think it was an additional $30 so for around $155 or so i can have them blasted and re-powdercoated.

Mine were not the full length with 3 steps, they are the 2 step ones that stop before the bed, and they ran right under $400 when i bought them..

I'm having the same problem with mine. I have offset wheels and live off gravel so my paint is looking pretty crappy on them. I don't even want to think about how much they'd be to ship back from mid Missouri if it's 125 for you

Mine are the glossy finish

If you are considering, the rep i spoke with at NFab stated stand alone the hardware alone is 80lbs, now i didnt clarify with him, so cant honestly say if that is 80lbs boxed up or just the pieces before boxing, i had asked because i didnt want to uninstall them to go around town getting quotes to box and ship, the shipping i stated above was based on finding a box to hold them and adding about 8lbs just for the packing material to make sure it was safe. Fedex here requires atleast 2" of material on each side between the item and box wall, ask me how i know ;) Had to ship something expensive last year and i boxed it up myself and they wouldnt insure it for what i was asking unless i added more material.

Does anyone have the factory installed boards still?

I have a 2016 Silverado Crew Cab LT and looking to add them.

I'm not going for the "tough truck" look, this is a pavement queen.

I ended up going with nerf bars for my LT. But if you do go the factory route, I would keep an eye out on craigslist for someone taking off theirs. Might be able to get them cheaper than the aftermarket ones.

Dee Zee has pretty reasonable prices for their running boards and nerf bars.

I may have a set for sell as soon as my Nfabs are on and I like em. Message me next week.

I have not read through this whole thread but for those looking at Amp research, there is another company out there called Bestop Power Board http://www.bestoppowerboard.com/

Just throwing it out there - seems they might cost a bit less.
