going to see a local guy who's usually pretty good on prices, but I want to have some #'s before I go in. I've seen some prices looking around online with the chrome plated version going for ~ $420 shipped. Can anyone recommend an online source for these?

 

I got mine for ~ $340 incl shipping. I don't remember what site I got them from though.

 

Mine were $420 installed.

 

I can do the Westin Platnium/Chrome plated bars for Edit delivered and insured..... I have Plenty in stock and can get them on the way the day you order them.

I also have Westin Platnium's on my truck (but the black powdercoated ones). GREAT fit and very strong. I stand on them all the time to do my windshield and wash/wax the roof (the sides anyway).

I think capnp72 has the Black Platnium bars instead, makes a large difference in the price....

PM for price

 

No Sam, I have the chrome ones. I checked every single website I could find them on and went with the cheapest price.

 

Thanks for the input, guys. I called my local guy after a friend of mine told me he could get me a discount at the local shop. He even called the owner and told him I'd be in touch. I called and ended up getting the bars I mentioned and an Access Rollup Cover.

Thanks for the offer, Sam.

 

Let me first say that I'm sorry for posting a price instead of saying to PM me. Prices were being discussed, and I'm not sure what the difference is when I give one out in reference to a question vs. when someone else does it in telling where and how much they bought for........

I have no doubt you have chrome steps capnp72. But I'm pretty sure you have the chrome-plated Signature series steps (mild steel) vs. the chrome-plated Platmium series (which are stainless steel) given the price you bought for.

 

I've ordered Westin Platinum Nerfs for my '05 Ram 3500. I've been observing that a lot of nerfs (not brand specific) I see are so close to the rocker panel that it appears to me only your toe would fit on the bar - is this true of the Westin Platinum nerfs? And, is there some kind of "lowering" kit to drop the bar lower so you can actually step on with your foot - not just your toe! TIA, Rob

 

I have this set on my 05. I just measured, and from the rear doors edge to the step pad, it's 2 3/8th inch. It's 2.5 "'s from the drivers door edge to the step pad. I haven't been though a winter yet, so I can't tell you if that space pinches my boot. I don't think it will.

There are a couple of distance pics of them in my gallery.

 

I have the Westin CPS step bars on my 04. They still look like new after one winter and two summers of surffishing. Check my gallery.

 

Check my pictures for how the Westins look on my truck. both close-up and farther away.
