Westin Step Bars

Gray Ghost · June 24, 2008

I have purchased side step bars probally for four other trucks I have owned in past. The last set I purchased was for my '05 Silverado which were the Westin Platinum Series Bars. They are a bit expensive like $429. and some change for the '07 Sierra. I was looking at the Polished E-Series Westin Side step bars which from the photos look exactly like the platinum series bars but price is around $324.

Does anyone else have the Westin Side Step Bars? If so which style and color? And how was the packaging and installation on them? I may order them from autoanything. Its the cheapest I have found thus far with free shipping. Imput would be appreciated.

I wonder if you bought the E series. They have Signature Series but(not for crew cab nbs), platinum series(way expensive).

If you dont mind me asking. Where did you purchase them?

I had some installed on my truck for almost $500.00, installation included (keep in mind Cdn pricing). I like them. They look good and I am hoping that they last a long time.

I bought them at a Line-X dealer down in So-Cal. I don't remember the name, but they only did Line-X and sold truck accesories. Truck something. Oxnard, CA

I purchased the Westin Platinum Series Step Bars in black for my regular cab sierra, they packaging was pretty good , each bar had its own cacoon if you will, the packaging was a carboard frame with each bar having its on side in the frame so they didn't touch one another while being transported in the box, I had to take mine to my dealership beause I didn't have the tools to take off the truck frame bolts so I could mount these on, I purchased mine from stylinconcepts.com, at the time when I bought them they were the cheapest with 15% off the order as they occasionally run free shipping or 15-20% off your orders and such.

Well, I just ordered the Westin Polished Stainless E Series Step Bars From Autoanything.com and they matched a price of $279.95 from another website with $278.95 plus free shipping. The E series bars are 3" diameter rather than 4" diameter like the platinum series plated with chrome as well. For the price I dont think that was too bad. Thanks all for their help, I post a response when they come in and I get them installed. Hopefully the install will be easy like bars in the past. With some never seize and a torque ratchet.

I don't know if they still carry them, but Summit used to have their own brand of step bars. They were the round tube style and were polished stainless. I bought a set for 2003 Silverado (sold) and they were just as good as the other, more expensive brands that I would see on other trucks, including Westin. I used to compare mine to other brands I would park next to, just to see if mine were somehow inferior due to their low price. I paid around $275, shipped back in 2004. These were polished stainless and never developed even a single spot of rust (which indicates they were a higher quality stainless).
