    It will take me 20 minutes to get under the truck...o_O

    They look pretty straightforward. Hopefully the rain let's up

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Had pictures but deleted them off my phone about 2 weeks ago...

    I don't think mine are the same model but they fit well with the OEM mudflaps.

    Oh, and about the paint, I expected to have to repaint. WI uses shit-tons of salt in the winter. Just thought the finish would last a little longer...

    Easy bolt on, look good and make for easy access.

    That looks sweet. I've always been a fan of red...

    Sort of wishing I'd gone polished now...maybe mine will rust and peel and I can get a swap...lol

    Shit I found on CL or EBAY that I could screw on.
    You will not be disappointed. I believe this was my 1st mod. Easily put them on alone with a floor jack. 1.5 years and use them every single time. It's actually easier to step rather than just slide in; end up touching leg if I slide.
    They're holding up better than my warn bumper.

    By the way, I bought mine directly from NFab. Very easy install, 6 bolts /side and everything lined right up, no hassle at all. Very nicely polished finish. I would definitely recommend these!

    Everyone is just adding on at this point, but I also got the Nfab Nerf step system in black. They look great, easy to install, work perfect for my 5'2" wife, but also don't get in my way if I'm getting in/out and don't need to use them. Very happy.

    I appreciate all the comments. I got my tires and lift installed today and the podiums are supposed to be here Wednesday. It's all kind of coming together and I'm real happy so far.

    I'll update with pics once they are all installed.

    Bit late to the thread, but these are 1.5 years on and I live in Chicago area…. I just took them off to either re-paint myself or warranty. Welds started to rust

    I've had mine on now about 11 months. They work great, but as everyone warned me , I'm getting a little rust leaching out of the welds. It's not the end of the world and for the short term the hassle of taking them off and shipping them back doesn't seem worth the effort at this point, especially if they are likely to do the same thing again.

    It's not bad, 90% of people wouldn't even notice it, but it's something I've looked for to happen.

    I would still buy them again today as my wife likes them. Her recovery has been good and she's talking crazy talk about taking my truck for herself.

    I realize now I never did update on my install or post photos here which are now really irrelevant. Took me about an hour to install them. Most of the time spent was a big overweight, out of shape guy trying to find my tools and get myself into a position where I could see and hold the bar in place and insert the bolt. Two guys could get these on in 20 minutes or less.
