lol Im in the same boat
momma wouldnt be happy if I took the steps out.
she was the one who suggested I put the electric steps in.
I did have some nerf bars on a older truck and liked them
and they run arount 3 to $400.00 and you can get them in blk or chrome

 

Yeah I like the nerf bars as well, but I keep coming back to wanting the steps like you have on yours. I like the way they "seem" to give you more ground clearance. Mine is only lifted a couple inches, I guess I am looking for the optical illusion of actually having a more lifted truck.

Take it easy, about to head out to the boat for awhile. It is already in the high 80s here in Ga.

It is going to be hot summer!!

 

Be safe out on the water (which ever lake your on)
