Ok not sure if this has been asked and answered.... I did search first..... I want to put nerf bars on my 1st gen Durango. It is lifted including a body lift. I can fab whatever I need for mounting but finding a set of bars to fit the length and that includ a drop step is terribly hard to do.

Do you have any links or suggested places to look before I go and get steel to fab my own custom ones?

Thanks in advance guys/gals!

 

Maybe look for a set for extended cab or 4 door trucks then fab up the brackets. The Durangos are pretty short wheelbase really. They have shorter front doors than a regular Dakota and the fender cuts into the rear door so maybe an extend cab full size truck? I don't really know.

 

Im happy to make my own brackets and mounts etc. The hard part is finding a set of bars the right length. I think every single site I have been on they ALL FAIL to list out the length. Instead they say things like "Cab Length" or made for specific vehichles like GMC 2500 etc. Anything in the right length I can make work but it is a royal PITA to find the right set to start with.

 

I took some measurements. My Durango from the back of the front fender flare to the rear lower edge of the rear door is about 6ft3. I measured my pickup as well, 01 Tundra Access Cab (extended cab, depends on the site you look at, Toyotas nomenclature was Access Cab) it was right at 6ft from the back of the front fender flare to the rear lower edge of the rear door. So maybe you could find something that fits that truck and make it work? Would be about the right length. And the rear step would be more towards the back since it's extended cab which would be ideal for the Durangos rear doors as well.

 

If you can weld and fab, just make the whole thing. Don't be limited by what you can find, be unlimited by what you can imagine.

 

Cannot agree more.
