Nerf bars/step

My apologies if this has been asked before . . .

are there any nerf bars/steps which attach directly to the truck's frame, aside from custom/welded on bars?

I haven't seen any but then again I haven't really been looking. Are you looking for something like a slider?

My 5'3" wife told me that steps are a must on the new truck.
But, I'm leary of how most nerf bars mount . . . I'd rather have something mount to the frame, instead of the body.

I considered a slider, but I haven't found one that could be easily used as a step . . .

Slider as in powerstep?

These are expensive but give a very clean look. There are also directions on the website for installation to give you an exact idea of how they'll hold up.

I took mine off of my factory black step bars from my 05 Scab and they are just sitting around doing nothing. I like the look better, but everyonce in a while when I visit my mom she complains so I just give her a shove up.

On most truck supply sites you can purchase Carr steps in two sizes and in either silver or black. They mount to the frame and are rock solid. I like the way they look and the fact that they are a step, not running boards. Takes about an hour to install both sides. Search under Carr steps and you can have them sent directly to your home. Good luck!

I just bought a pair of ebay that look like copies of the crome factory bars. I will get back to you when they come in and let you know what I think. Ed

Which models do they sell that mount to the frame? The only ones I have seen mount to the rockers.
