Types of Step Bars

• Cab-Length Running Boards - These run along the length of your truck’s cab, offering a sturdy step beneath each door for easy entry and exit. Large weight capacity!
• Wheel-to-Wheel Running Boards - Extending from the front of the cab to the rear wheel well, these boards provide convenient access to the cab and the truck bed.
• Nerf Bars - Tubular in design, nerf bars feature individual step pads and add a rugged look while offering solid footing.
• Side Bars - Similar to nerf bars but often wider or differently shaped, sidebars provide a sleek, functional step option.
• Drop Steps or Retractable Truck Steps - Ideal for lifted trucks, drop steps offer a lower stepping point to make climbing in and out easier. They deploy automatically when your door opens.
• Side Steps – A variation of nerf bars, often wider or shaped differently, offering a stylish and functional step along the side of the truck. 
• Retractable Steps - These steps extend when needed and tuck away when not in use. They are available in both manual and automatic versions for added convenience.

Why Add Nerf Bars, Running Boards, or Step Bars?

• Easier Entry and Exit - Whether you're driving a lifted truck or just want added convenience, step bars and running boards make getting in and out of your vehicle much easier.
• Protect Your Truck - Nerf bars and step bars can help shield your rocker panels from road debris, rocks, and salt—especially useful in Michigan winters.
• Style Upgrade - Add a bold, custom look to your truck with running boards or nerf bars that match your build’s personality.
• Better Bed Access - Wheel-to-wheel running boards make it easier to reach into the bed of your truck without climbing in.

Things to Consider Before You Buy

• Ground Clearance - Some step bars may reduce your truck’s clearance, which could be a factor if you go off-road frequently.
• Weight Capacity - Make sure your chosen step bars or running boards are rated to support the weight of all passengers.
• Weather Conditions - Snow, ice, and mud can build up on step bars, so look for models with textured or non-slip surfaces for added safety.
