Step bars for Superduty
I am currently trying to find a set of stainless steel step bars for my '05 F-250 Regular cab. I wanted to get a set of Westin step bars, but they do not make the stainless for a reg. cab superduty. However, I did find a set built by Smittybilt and also a few pair from Summit racing. I was wondering if anyone could tell me which brands are better and which not to get.

Deere,
If Summit (or Jeg's, or ???) charges an extra shipping fee due to the size of the packaging, consider ordering the steps through Pep Boys or similar auto parts store(don't know what you've got there in So.IL). Pep Girls doesn't charge to get product shipped to their various stores, even if it's a transfer from one store to another. I found this out during my exhaustive research into getting my Westin Platinum Series (black)wheel-to-wheel step bars.
Might save you some buck$...

deere81,
I found my chromed stainless steel nerf bars @ NAPA. They are a "plain label brand" which means that there's no name on the footing area. Sorry, can't recall the exact name right off, but could find it if you need it. They cost me $340.00 with shipping ($20). I would reccomend stainless or chromed stainless for maintanence reasons. Buddy of mine has some black powder-coated step bars and the finish is chipping off after about two years now. Only my opinion and maybe it doesn't apply to your color scheme. Westins, Nasta, Laverne (pricy), and Bully are all good brands. I researched quite a bit before purchasing. Becareful buying them on the net, it looks cheap at first, then you "check-out" and ooh there's shipping charges and possible sales tax. Good luck.
ps. Mine were for a crew cab.

I ordered SS steps for my '02 CC from truckparts411.com (found on Ebay) for $179 shipped. Mounting brackets lined up, and had them on within an hour. They look great, and were half the cost. To soon to determine durability, but the price was right so we'll see.
