best side steps for cheap

dave.c · Feb 15, 2017

hello guys im looking to get side steps for my 2016 quad cab been seeing lots on amazon for fairly cheap wondering if any of you can recommend some. I really like the factory side steps but whoa so expensive I rather just get some fairly cheap ones that do the job and no modifications needed. thank you all.

You would have to define cheap. I just bought and installed these last week. Took about 1.5 hours to install, in the dark, while raining. No holes to drill either.

Installed on 2015 quad cab.

I bought a set of 5" wide stainless steel cab length side steps on ebay for my truck a year ago for less than $200 shipped. They went on perfectly and are very strong....

Here's and example:

Just be careful. A lot of the cheap chrome steps oxidize and peel and the cheaper black one rust

Keep an eye out for someone selling their OEM steps. I picked mine up off of Craigslist for $250. had them on my 1500 and moved them over to my 2500.

Raptor series oval 4" bars in black from auto anything. Can't remember what I paid but it was about 159 shipped with a 20% coupon.

Better finish on the metal brackets than the Lund bars I had on my other ram, better finish on the bars since the Lund were composite and got oxidized by the sun after two years.

thanks everyone for the replys I'm so stumped on what to get the aftermarket have a much different bracket set up than oem plus I also have heard the 2016 ram have issues with the front drivers side bracket due to a frame cross member or something not sure

I just put Havoc hs2 steps on mine look like N-fab's and we're $378 shipped.

Got these for my 1500 I like the two tone. They also come with not only mounting brackets but also support brackets for the pinch weld that add even more weight stability.

I bought these almost 2 years ago and they still look new. Also double as door ding protection...

I got a pair of those IONIC Nerf Bars installed when i got my used truck, but the problem i had apply probably also to other manufacturers.
Unfortunately mine have a not good system to bolt on the cars frame and become loose and squeak.
They have some kind of a aluminum dowel, but the dowel deforms and create some space between the frame and the bracket and this leads to squeak and squeal.

After crawling under the truck very other day i go tired of them and got rid of them.
