Hey all, new to the site,
I just picked up a 2003 Quad Cab 2500 4 X 4 and the wife say it definitely needs steps. Just looking for some good recommendations on products of what to get or avoid. Probably going to go with a powder coated step as I thought it would look best with the grey metallic paint. thanks in advance, Mark

 

check this link out, and I haven't gotten any yet, and I think i am just going to go OEM cause I know they will be good. https://dodgeforum.com/m_1355438/tm.htm

 

A lot of people prefer westin bars. I just went down to the local truck accesories store and bought what they had in stock and I haven't had any problems yet. Just make sure that you get stainless instead of chrome... if that is the look you are going for.

 

Amp research power steps. I wish I had just saved a little and bought those instead. I like my nerf bars, they serve their purpose but I just wish I would've went the power route.

 

OEM is the way to go. They are aluminium with chrome or black. They wont rust.

 

My '03 had Nasta stainless on it. I've read that every part is stainless. My truck has 96K and the bars haven't rusted.

 

i had the westin platinum serious on mine and never had a problem

 

I went with the NASTA nerf bars 100% stainless steal inclueding the mounting brackets,nuts, bolts, washers etc etc. Look great on the truck and alot cheaper then the westins

 

The plating on my OEM barswere starting to peel. SoI just puta set ofNasta's on mine as well. 100% stainless including installation hardware is what sold me. $261.00 with free shipping from http://www.mechanics-warehouse.com/
