Default Running boards/Nerf Bar Suggestions

I would like to put some nerf bars on my 98 Dodge Ram 1500 Club Cab. I see there are many styles and brands-I have had these on prior vehicles and some are garbage!! They rust, bend/don't support weight etc.

I was hoping to hear what others have been happy with and recommend-as well as which brands/styles to stay away from.

Also would be great to hear where to purchase for a good price-good service

Thanks in advance!

I have been looking for some for my truck for a few months, but unfortunately every one that I see mounts to the body mounts instead of the frame. Seems really flimsy to me, so I'd what out for that.

I'm looking as well. I have seen some nerf bars from Summit. They are similar to, but about $50 less than Westins, which Summit also sells. These are the frame mounted, stainless steel, bent tubes with black step pads.
I only saw listings for STD and QUAD cabs and I have a club. I don't know if the STD would look stupid or have the 2nd step for the QUAD, unused on my truck.
I'm still looking though.

I have bull bars and they are not the nicest out there but pretty reasonably priced. check them out.

i've got Nasta brand step bars. polished stainless. they bolt to the body, with some little angle braces and they are VERY stout. stout enough to not sag/flex under my 300 pound buddies. after 2 years they look just like they did on day 1, no rust, no discoloration, no problems. when you bolt them on you have to torque the crap out of them. wait a few minutes and torque them again, then again, then again. pics floating around on forum. got em here...
