Side Step question for Sierra crew cab. N-Fab or ?????

[HiggySTL]

I am looking at the N-Fab side steps but I was wondering if anyone knew if they mount tight to the cab or if their is a gap between the truck body and the horizontal bar. In the pictures most look like they are flush with the cab, but I've seen some with what looks to be a 2 inch or so gap where you can see the mounting brackets.

 

I recently tried to go cheap and got the Rampage side steps. They are nice and solid, but I don't really like the look, they have about a 2-3 incha gap and seem to hang down too low for my liking. I was also thinking about just taking the steps off completely. I like the clean look of it, but I am on the fence.....

 

So I guess the question is N-Fab, something else (as long as they mount flush right up next to the cab) or nothing at all?

 

Thanks guys!

Check these out. I'm going to go this route once my truck is eventually built

I've been looking at the N-Fabs. I've also been looking at the Iron Cross HD Steps and the Lund Modular Rock Rails with Steps. I saw the rock rails on trucks at SEMA and they looked good but I think they are fairly new and there's not a lot of reviews out there for them.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the other steps in person before deciding which ones to go with on my truck.

Those are nice and I like the way they look.... but whoa they are pricey!... If I were to spend that much I think I would go ahead and drop just a couple $100 more for retractables.

I agree!!! I have been trying to look at all kinds of pictures, but they can be misleading regarding the gap I was talking about.

Saw a guy that was going to add the Tahoe's oem retractable steps to his truck, can't remember how it turned out. I think it was in a for sale posting and not sure if he decided to keep them or not. Too many threads to remember lol.

Here a a few pics I took after I put the nfabs on my truck. Sorry it was at night in garage. They were easy to install and very solid steps

The gap you seen on some n-fabs was probably due to a body lift. They mount fairly close to the body assuming your stock.

im looking for some that actually have a gap, simply because my lift is so tall, having them right against the truck (only a inch or two lower than the door sill) doesnt really help the situation
