Side Step Options

[Tony_SS]

Since I installed the 2" BL, I don't like my side steps... I can to go to something that is closer to the body or something more subtle looking.

What do you all think of this?

Any other ideas/suggestions...

I need to have them so the kids can climb up and out.

Where do those attach? just directly drilled into the body? I'd imagine the standard side steps are alot stronger bolted to the cab mounts. Can you not redrill the brackets & move your current steps up? Nfabs are nice but too pricey for my blood, if money wasnt a issue thats what I would be getting.

Happen to have a link?

I would love some rock slider/steps.. but I've never seen such a thing for ours that was not custom made.

I dont know.. I am guessing to the body? that doesn't sound sturdy... but I'm only 170lbs.

I really dont like the look of mine, even if they were close to the body... the make the truck look low/old man-ish.

Have you checked out n-fab steps? I'm not sure what your price range is because the n-fabs are kind of pricey, but they bolt to the body not the frame so a body lift doesn't effect them, plus they look bad ass.

N-fab... awesome, thanks... looks like they have real nice stuff...

The ones I want are $360.... might have to think on that one...

The bully steps I like are $100 for the pair... hmm

They're about $400 a set depending on which ones you get.

I found the ext cab ones here for $335 shipped...

that's not too bad if I can get $100 for mine! The only reason I like mine now is that they're aluminum, very light, wont rust..
