Chrome on a SLT or Laramie with chrome bumpers. Black on a sport model without any other chrome.

That's exactly my way of thinking.
I put the black Westin step bars on my 99 Sport cuase the only things chrome were the rims, plus I didn't want them to stand out too much.



Dad's is 2wd like mine and he opted for the black and stainless running boards which I think look really great on his truck.



I think the Stainless bars would look good on yours. I think I would shy away from chrome due to the fact that once the elements work on chrome and they start to rust, there's not much you can do with them. At least you can repaint the black ones and Stainless you shouldn't have to worry at all about.

Holy crap surfram, you need to change your way of thinkin'
The last thing you want is to be thinkin' like RATTLINRAM

(Personally I like black on a silver truck, but I am a little biased)

Hey Rob,,,,,
I'm thinkin' you got black step bars just like the black step bars I got!
What were you thinkin'?

I'm thinkin' Rollin'Smoke's rig would still look better with the Stainless unless he puts one of them big black "Cow-Catchers" on the front like you got.

Obviously I wasn't
And stop doing this to me: my head hurts.

But that is normal. I need to go change my nerf bars now.

Nah, we haven't had a single chrome piece rust in the oil patch. Scratch it and even the black one's will rust out. Can't afford non-magnetic stainless.

When I got my 05, dealer asked "What can I do to get you in that truck today?"
I said throw in a set of running boards.
They said pick the ones you want.
I went with black Mopar ones.
