Assist Steps / Running Boards / Nerf Bars

I was told once that they don't make any cab mount nerfs that work on a k2 just rocker, are those cab or rocker?

I am pretty confident I used all the parts correctly. Yes, there is only one support in the center.

I'm pretty confident the bars are on the correct side. The reason I say this is because when my dad and I went to install the first one, we quickly realized that we grabbed the wrong bar when trying to line it up. Grabbed the other one and everything lined up. I am very OCD too and this is going to drive me nuts, I need to figure something out. It was me you were telling about the weight limit, 465lbs is pretty impressive...

EDIT - maybe I should trade these in on the Raptors.

The Raptors are GREAT

They're cab mounted.

I've never had them get that close to the mud flaps or not be parallel to the body/door panel. The sales pic shows normal install spacing. I'd contact AutoAnything right away. Something is definitely wrong.

I think diesels are the only ones that have cab mounts

I'd return 'em dude. That's what the guy at the local accessory shop told me they set of cab mounted nerfs looked like when they tried em. I think you mentioned raptors, I've had mine for about 18 months and I like 'em. My buddy gut Lund I think for his silverado and I like those a little better.

They emailed me back telling me I have the bars installed backwards and that the pad closes to the curve should be at the front. I will check for this when I leave work.

EDIT: So I tried remounting them on the opposite side like they recommended and that didn't work. It's actually impossible to mount them as DeeZee support described because the middle bracket won't line up with the hole on the bar. It's off by probably 3 inches.

For now, I didn't bother to remount the steps, and I didn't want to scuff my mud flaps up anymore. Waiting to hear back from them hopefully today. I am almost convinced I'll be sending these back.

I bought the Go Rhino 6" OE Extreme II sidesteps for my '15 silverado. The instruction below shows a welded nut on the front rocker panel. But my silverado doesn't have that welded nut! Can anyone else with 2015 confirm?

The '15 does have a welded nut. Its on the rear hole on the rocker panel. Its for the bottom hole i believe .. kinda hard to explain. I may be able to get a pic here soon

Raptor Stainless 5" OE style bars. These are warranty replacements for the rusty powder coated bars that only lasted about 18 months.

Exactly the point that I have been trying to make ... go with SS when possible...

Yeah I really just didn't really have a preference from a styling stand point so I figured why not save $100 and given that they had a 10yr warranty I foolishly assumed they'd last ten years lol.

Wow - what a great resource. After two hours of reading everything that there is to know about nerf bars - I just ordered the Raptor Magnum 5" Ovals for my Sierra Crew Cab. Thanks all.

Is there anyone running the ICI Magnum RT steps? I ordered these mid July and still haven't received a shipping notice... Hoping to get them some day...

Enjoy .. i really like mine. I believe youll have 4 support brwckets opposed to my silverado 3.

But i plan on in putting a 4th since im getting a replacement bar from Raptor which will have new support brackets, so will just add another to the rocker panel and let the bar rest on it
