What steps should I buy?

Okay I think it is time for some steps. I would like to go with the nerf bar style. I would really prefer stainless. High quailty is a must. I don't want cheesy plated steps that rust out in 3 or 4 years. Anyone have any suggestions on what to buy. Also I don't want to spend a fortune either. Thanks for any advice you may be able to offer.

I have the Ebay Raptor nerf bars on my truck. I think I paid $230 shipped. They are made in USA and are T304 stainless. Quite a few other guys here have the same, thats where I got the idea. They are made by CYC-Engineering out of Calif. If you look in my gallery, I have pics of my truck with them on. They look good when the truck is clean, but I don't think I have any clean truck pics in the gallery! -Steve

I like the electric power down steps more pricey but I just don't like the look of nerf bars and my wife likes these the ease of using these steps she is 4' 10" when they are fully retracted you can't even see them they also have a nerf bar out that powers down and then retracts under the cab big money for these though

I am very happy with my Westin CPS stepbars. I put a set on a friend's 2001 CTD when it was new and they still look great. The Westin CPS stepbars have a lifetime warranty on the finish.

Again the Westins. Very easy to install and look just as great. Took about 20 minutes on my back in the driveway. Paid about $299.00.

I have to recommend Westins as well. I've used the on 3 of my trucks. Easy install, great fit and really like the fact you don't see a bunch of brackets hanging down like some others. Best of all, they are sturdy. Been on a lot of step bars that flex and don't give you a very good feeling about using them. Westins aren't like that.

I'll mention that I carry a LOT of products (Go Rhino, Putco, MAAP, Trail FX, Manik, Lund, DeeZee and a few others). Not any reason to push on vs. the other, other than my personal and customer's experiences. It doesn't much matter to me what I sell because I can usually provide a very wide variety. What does matter is the quality of the part, and that the customer is pleased. I'm pretty picky, and like I said am on my 3rd set of Westin's in 3 trucks. Nothing but pleased with them, and would highly recommend them.

Hey Papa,

Try:
Westin step bars

If I remember correctly, this is where I ordered mine. Best price I could find. Free shipping too!

Now, if I could just order a fix for the 70 MPH vibe.

Best,
Steve
