Suggestions For Step Bars

After lending one of my '96's to a friend the other day I watched in horror as he used the steering wheel as a pull-me-up. I know this has been discussed before, but can someone suggest a decent step and more importantly one that mounts properly for strength. This will be for a 96 F250 4X4. Price doesn't matter to me. TIA~

well that all depends is it regular cab, super cab, or crew cab?


If I were you I would search for Diesel_Brads thread. I think it was called supercab steps.

Only steps I have ever liked on these trucks are the Carr hoop steps.


Brother is thinking about putting a set of 99 super duty steps on his 91 F250 super cab but I personally don't like the look.

I have black Westin's on my F350. Look great! Have had them for about 8 years now.

Thanks for all the ideas/suggestions...I should have elaborated a bit more...I'm looking more for a step up than Nerf-style bars. This is for a single cab truck.
