I also have the Luverne bars. I like them a lot. The Westin bars kinda have a bad reputation in my area.

 

Luverne nerf bars are polished stainless steel and look like they're chrome!!!
I purchased mine at Carmicdirect.com for $272 delivered. best price I could find.

I have the westin platinum in chrome. Supports me w/no problems at 260#. Easy to install. My buddy has the wheel to wheel on his 04 Silverado and they look good and are just as strong.

Give me about a week and I'll have pictures of em on my truck.

 

Those Back Country nerf bars look pretty nice in the wheel-to-wheel application. I may have to look into those as well.

Currently I am looking at:

http://nerf-bars.com/dodge-full-leng...-nerf-bars.htm

They appear pretty close to the Back Country's. They might even be the same bar.

 

A 5" x 2" tube on its side looks real nice. Cost me $100 total with powder coating and I can lift the truck up with them before they bend...

 

Get the Nasta stainless steel (not coated, the real deal) nerfs. Do a search on ebay, they can be had for around $255.00 + shipping. I have a set on my 03 QC SB, they hold my 240lbs just fine. I paid around $550 for mine installed. The wife is short in the height department, needed a set asap. The best thing about the Nasta bars, is all of the bolt on hardware is stainless steel, nuts, bolts and brackets. And for $255.00, you cannot go wrong, trust me.

Oh, they look absolutely MARVELOUS on the truck!
