question about nerf bars

[81clem]

I'm trying to decide which type of nerf bars for my truck(06 sierra ext cab z71)I like the looks of the 4" oval straight bars,but I've heard some brands mount too close to the truck body (almost under the side of the body)I've owned the type that curves at both ends and they seemed to be fine,most are 3" wide.Do any of you guys know what I'm talking about?Do you have any pictures that might help?thanks

Thats why I went with the tubular ones with the curved ends. The past few trucks I've had, have had small dings from doors and shopping carts. The straight ones seemed to tuck under the doors a little more and I thought that they would offer little protection. They don't look too bad either.

Those do look good - does anyone have a picture of the Westin Ovals on their truck for comparison?

Believe it or not the truck came with them new. The dealer sent the truck out and had a spray in bedliner put in and I assume they put the rail covers on also, they fit great I can check for a brand name later......my wife took the truck so who knows if its coming back
