Just posted in FS if anyone is interested in the FL area

What price for this?

brownclown01 · March 10, 2017

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.

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.

How do these feel as far as line up with the door. Just got the nfabs installed and love look but that is pointless when the function sucks. They need to be moved about 4 inches back to be used comfortably. So have now considered other look alikes sucks as rough country which look identical or iron cross plus which have same look but adjustable in there positioning. Leaning in that direction but haven't seen any reviews. Also considering magnum rt but same concern of line up with door. And finally the new gm off roads that come on all terrain x look great but costly. Please help with ur experience with any of the above.

So, I took the risk on the raptor board. They help complete the grandpa look that I am going for.

Initial quality - ok

Mounting - ok

Ingress - ok

Egress - rubber pad is a little too far forward for left heel to catch.

Completely agree on the Nfabs. They're okay for getting in the truck, but getting out, the positioning is too far forward. I hate to admit it, but the stock 6 inch steps I had at the beginning were much better in terms of function. Not only do the Nfabs not function all that well, I lost a lot of protection that my stock 6 inch steps provided from rocks and debris.

I don't have experience with any of the others however for me these have been working great going in and out of the truck. I go left foot on step grab the steering wheel and in I go with ease and no sliding on seat whatsoever. Wife is happy about them too and even my little 3 year old uses them in the rear with no issues; but I definitely recommend them. My wife would have probably pointed something out immediately if the in and out procedure was uncomfortable. The steps are great and as previously recommended by others some linex can re-inforce them and prevent rust issues.

Would u mind measuring from the back of the front wheel well to the center of the first step, give measurement, and then to the middle of the rear portion of the first step. I would like to compare with nfabs to see if they are further back. Thanks

I have to agree with you about the NFabs being more about form over function. The steps are just not very useful. If the flat step was more centered in the hoop in or out they would be more useful. Not to mention they are a snow and ice trap.

Anyone with nfabs hoping these would work better mine with crew cab measures about the same in front. 22 1/2 front but rear were 64 1/2 in the rear. Hoping someone with rough country version might chime in .

Thanks . Looks like they are all about the same. Got lucky with that request so anyone with the ironcross plus. They the same style but are somehow adjustable in position. Unfortunately I can't find any reviews on quality or videos to see how they adjust.
