I finally got my Westin HDX steps. They were on national back order for the longest time. Anyhow, I'm very impressed with them. They are very solid, suck up tight to the rocker, and provide a very large front step surface. I think they also look more aggressive than the typical hoop drop bars.

Looks very good.... I've been thinking about those but I have a 2wd, don't know if they will be too low to the ground. How far do they drop from your cab?

From the top of the square tube to the bottom of the step is a height of 3-3/4". So not a huge drop. Makes gettin into the truck way easier.

Looks awesome adubree...but I'm biased hahaha.

What's the width size & offset of your wheels.....I love those.

I went with the 20x9's in a -12mm offset....now I'm wishing I went with the more aggressive -24mm offset with a bigger wheel lip....like at least 10.

That made me go on the hunt for the coupon. I found the code and damn you, you just cost me $320 lol. Hope they look as good on my rig as they do in all the pictures I've seen, yours included.

This site is full of enablers. I'm sure they will look great. Simple install too. I will tell you one thing though, their rivserts suck. I went out and got my own.

I tried to set one of the rivserts that came with the steps and said screw it and went and bought better rivserts.

I've never really worked with rivserts. What was the difficulty and where and what did you buy in place of the ones that shipped with the steps. I'll probably just go grab them ahead of time. Although, I checked the installation instructions and it said some trucks already had threaded holes and didn't need the rivserts so I guess I better climb under the truck and check that out first.
