Need a push on some side steps

I am in dire need of some steps for my truck. Wife is really hating getting in and out and it's really hard for her now I've been looking on CL here in East Texas and have run across 3 sets and I can't tell if I should make the leap for the nice set or not. This is what I found:


*** King Ranch Black OEM Lighted Steps *** I talked to the guy and I can get them for $300

2011-2014 side steps ford f250 I talked him down to $100

Ford F250 Running Boards Talked him down to $100 as well.


There are no steps for sale back in VA at all (ever) and if I get any of these I'll be able to skip any other aftermarket steps.

If the 2015 steps are a super deal then I would really like to get them, but if they are just a meh deal then I'm going to go with the $100 ones. I just didn't know how good of a deal the 2015's were.

Well then. Drive your happy butt over here to Houston. Help me remove the stockers and you can have them free.

I scrapped my stockers, I hate the way they look. I would rather have none

Those king ranch ones look short on the f250.. they are going to look even shorter on the EX... these are my favorite one https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...eps-shhhh.html they are on my truck. You can see the f250 ones are a tad shorter then the EX ones.. and with the led's on those king ranch ones looks like it takes up more foot space

I have never liked how low all those side step bars are. Just not my liking.

Based on price and the way they look in the pics, I like the ones in the link above.
