Okay, i know many of you are using n-Fab steps and I do like the looks of them however just wondering if anyone uses a hoop style step anymore? There were some DeeZee boards on my truck when I bought it but I have since removed due to appearance. I can get in and out just fine but any passengers and especially my wife would appreciate a step.

Buying some OEM bars seems pointless because they really don't drop down all that far. This is one reason why I like the n-Fab ones. A much cheaper option would be some drop hoops like these. Carr Hoop II Step Dodge Ram Quad Cab 2009-2015

What I don't like is having to drill holes into the rocker and pinch welds.

So, does anyone know of a drop step or hoop that would mount to the factory mounting points? Or is this not possible due to the location of them?

It would seem then that the N-Fab bars are my only option?

Can't help you on the drop step. I have a pair of westin 4in oval steps they sit little lower than factory and they help a lot. My wife wanted the drop hoops but I personally didn't like the style. I agree these trucks look a lot better without anything but it's not worth my wife tearing off my interior handle and ripping the seat over time.

IMO looks wise.......... :puke:

I was never a fan of the single step for some reason.

Always use the amp step that drops when you open the door?

AMPs are nice, but the motor is a wear item. I've gone through two in the past.
