Which one do you guys prefer?

Ive used the nfab bars on most of my trucks..Ive had it on my 2017 f250 which i just traded in. I took the nfabs off and kept them..My new 2019 f350 came with the blacked out steps which i do like. I was planning on getting the F150 step brackets so the steps sit up closer to the body. But I also thought about putting the nfab on the new f350. ..Need you opinions pls..Which one do you guys prefer?

I’m a nfab guy. My current truck has them and my new one like yours but white has the black. I was going to remove them but we will see when it gets here.

At stock height, I like the look the the nfab a little better. They are tucked up closer to the bottom of the truck and give the appearance of a taller truck/additional ground clearance - same effect as replacing the stock 4x4 valance with the 2x4 one.

On a lifted truck, specifically one with radius arm drop brackets (which are a bit unsightly IMO - and yes my 3.5" leveling kit has them) the running boards with the standard SD length mounting brackets hide those a little better.

what do you guys think if i keep the stock steps but use the f150 mounts so the steps are closer to the body.

Rockinfigs, I think either the nfabs or the stock steps w/ F150 brackets would look best.

I guess this is a complete minority viewpoint in the truck world - I actually prefer the OE looks, within reason of course.
REALLY like the OE look of that Lariat sport

I have had Nfabs and I liked them, but the stock ones with the f150 hangers look nice to. I would probably go with the 150 hangers.

The NFabs look horrible, you should just send them to me.
