Default Lund Nerf Bars

Hey all, new dodge owner and of course new to the forum. I'm looking to purchase and install some nerf bars and I''ve narrowed it down to the Lund 5" oval nurfs for my 2008 2500 Quad cab (Laramie if that matters). has anybody purchased/ installed some, were they the 80" or 87" and how do they look?

Several websites are telling me the 87" are the ones for my truck (even though my cab measures 80") and the mounting holes line up regardless of Quad or Mega cab...

They sent me 87" bars. The sticker says 06-09 MegaCab/ 02-08 Quadcab.
I won't get to put them on until maybe Sunday. They are nice looking and 6" wide I believe. I'll try to post up a picture soon.

Finally got them on today. These are a 6" bar that actually sticks out far enough to use vs the oem 4" bars. The step sections are actual soft rubber for a no slip step. Nice. They also use 4 brackets instead of 2 like the OEM, although I never had any issues with the OEM bars except that they were too far under the truck to use as a step to wash and wax the roof
Here are a couple of pictures.

I like them. Now I can clean the roof without a ladder The Mopar bars look good, but are too far under the truck to stand on without the doors open.
