Default Side Step Bars

Hey guys I just lifted my 05 QC 4x4 and put 37's under it. I'm looking to get side steps for it because it's tough to get in for other people. My floor boards are equal to my hip bone and im 6ft so it rough for many non flexible people to get in. I want to get at least cab length bars that are stainless and have a couple step pads. Part of my lift was a 3in body lift and I dont want the bars to hang down too far and look rediculous. Does anyone know of a westin or smittybuilt bar that wont hang down (droop) too low with the body lift on the truck?

pretty sure the side step attach to the body so you should be able to get any step you want

The Westin steps attach to the bottom of the body mount points, iirc.

I'm really not a fan of body lifts though, I suggest taking it out.

cool didn't know that, never owned step bars lol and hes got 37" tires so he needs the body lift

looks like you might need to fabricate some brackets or put a spacer on it

I have a BL and Westins bars. by stock they are mean to bolt in at the bottom of the brackets. You can drill new holes in the brackets and raise them. Doing so will also allow you to re-use the approx 1" wide support bars so then when step on them they do not flex.

The Mopar 4" oval steps mount the the body as well as the N-Fab steps. 2 different styles that don't need any modification with a body lift.

Mopars (kinda hard to see)


N-Fabs (wheel to wheel)
