Step Bar Questions?

Will the step bars from an 04-08 F150 fit the 09 F150?

Are the Westin Signature Series Step Bars the best?

The last set of the Westin Signature Series in Black I owned rusted out after the 1st year I owned them

Will the Westin Chrome Signature Series do better and not rust out?

Are the 305 Stainless Steel Step Bars better against rust?

I seen the Stainless Steel Step bars on E Bay for only $135

what does the "305 Stainless Steel mean?

My 09 F150 is all blacked out, no chrome, would chrome or stainless steel step bars look bad, should I get black instead?

I need step bars that are strong and durable and won't rust out

What would you suggest?

I was told that the bars for 2009 are different than other years. The cost was not more just the design of the mounting hardware. I got mine off of Ebay for a fair price but had to wait till the 2009 model came in about 2 weeks. Chris

FX4 Series, preferred eqip package 505A

Does the above look familiar? It should; it was your first post on this forum troll-boy.

Bart, are you going to answer the above discrepancy, or prove yourself to be nothing but a troll by maintaining your silence? You were on a little while ago, and neglected to answer the question. Did you take your Blue Flame FX4 and paint it all black, including the chrome?

Admit it, you don't even have a truck. It's ok.

He doesn't have a truck, so he doesn't need nerfs. He's the local troll on the 09 forum. He'll get suspended again in a week. Welcome to the forum.

The 5" Ford Oval ones I saw look identical to the ones on my 08, but they may have shifted the mounting brackets. I didn't measure them. As far as the look goes, they are identical and I like them.

fitment wise, I doubt step bars from a 04-08 will work on the 09+

maybe the Reg Cab and the Scab...but the Screw Cab is longer than the older ones


I think you'll run into frame mounting issues, and then the step itself won't fully cover the cab length.





btw, nice catch on the troll Chargers

Regular cab the mounting holes used are slightly different, enough where new brackets had to be made. Chris

I wasn't sure if they were the same or not. they didn't change the look of them, which I think is a good thing. I don't know how you could really make them look any better. I wish I could afford a set of the power ones though...those are sweet.

Lol his truck has changed from blue to blacked out. Perhaps he went to advanced auto and got a can of black out spray and sprayed his whole truck lol.
