These are the strongest I've seen. Custom length available and any color you want!

I saw them tested by a 300 lb man... bouncing on them! Truck rocked but step didn't budge.

These are black powdercoated steel and mount to the frame. They will not budge. I am very happy with mine and are as strong today as when I installed them 4 years ago.

I've got N-fabs, the looks are pretty good. I'd like them a lot better if they mounted to the frame. They are doing fine, i'm about 300lbs, but they do flex a bit when I step on them. They were pricy, but for a lifted truck, I don't think there are anything else that looks anywhere as good. They also protect very well against door dings.
Downside to them, expensive, they are NOT powdercoated, they are just painted. N-fab claims powdercoated but they are full of crap, or got a terrible job. They are pretty scratched up from shoes (I never wear anything but running shoes in my truck), the ends of the bars are rusting, and the step part is down to bare metal, on all but the one door that is pretty much never used.
I figure i've got a 5 year warranty for the finish, when they get bad i'll get them replaced, and have a brand new set.
I just settled for N-fabs as theres just nothing better out there. Honestly just wish I left my "grandpa" looking running boards on

I had a set of Amp Research power retractable running boards on my '07 Power Wagon and have the same set-up on my '07 3500. While pricey, they work great and tuck up out of sight when not in use (which is also great for tucking them up under the rocker panels for off-road clearance).
