Nerf Bars/Running Boards

I am curious what folks use for nerf bars... I recently ordered these:
https://realtruck.com/p/carr-hoop-st...ord/f350/1994/

It requires drilling in the rocker panels which I am not a fan of, thanks!

Actually those are called STEPS, Bars and Boards are totally different and don't usually require drilling the panels. If you like the Steps, there are thousands of them installed and I personally used a pair long ago. I never had nor have I heard of anyone having problems caused by Step installations. JMO

Those hoop steps are rocker destroyers since the weight of the person climbing in to the cab twists them. Seen a lot of damage caused by those stupid things. Leave them in the box they cam in and return them.
