Assist Steps / Running Boards / Nerf Bars

CWilliams · February 16, 2017

Yea I wouldn't mind a few small dents for some free steps either! At least they tried to make it right and ended up refunding. How about the quality and fitment? I saw some reviews that said the rail type I am looking at are pretty heavy and the boxes came beat up, but no damage to the steps. Those reviews were from a year or two ago though. Depending on when you got yours, maybe they have started packing them better?

Honestly my box looked fine, thats why I was shocked when I saw the dents. The dents were in the same spot on both boards, so I am assuming that something fell on them at the warehouse. The fitment was spot on, no issues there. The quality, outside of damage, has been good. I added them probably around the beginning of September 2016. I thought about buying there bed cover just because their customer service was really good and not hesitant about refunding my money.

Good deal man, thanks for the input.

Ebay $170 shipped stepside bars. Lets see how long they last. Weather is not bad down here in South Texas so not too worried on that side.

Are there any running boards/ nerf steps that bolt to the frame/ body mounts. Are the ones that bolt to the rockers to straining on the rockers?

I went with Raptor 4" oval black and had them and the brackets coated with bed liner material when I had the bed sprayed. Even though Raptor has a 10 year warranty, I didn't want to take chances with flaking etc.

I'm thinking the same thing. Most "go fast shops" (step tube and tonneau peddlers) around here are pushing the rocker mount.

WOW these look great, esp for $170 shipped. Probably wouldnt cost much to get them coated in liner to make them rust proof either. Do you have a link to the seller? thanks!!

Tyger is a great company -- I did buy their bed cover and it's been great for something like $110 when i bought it off of ebay. Took me all but 10 minutes to install, and doesn't leak at all. Glad to hear they stand by their product. It blows my mind that people will drop $2,000 on a bed cover. That's just silly in my opinion. but to each their own I suppose!

Did you buy the roll up one or the fold one?

Yeah. It has stayed around $220. Been watching it for 6 months now. I will probably get the tri-fold. Thanks for the input. Good to hear it holds up for the price.

Here are some links:

This one is of the seller whom I bought from. Currently the price is at $209 but he occasionally drops the price a bit.

Or you can order from this other one who carries the same ones at $190 all the time.

^Ordering those step bars today thanks @asalinasz39 !!

They have the look of the N-fabs, and theyre cheap enough that line-x coating them to make them rust and slip proof STILL ends up cheaper than N-fabs or Dee Zee NXT's!
