I say stainless. You have chrome wheels and polished fuel door. The stainless nerf bars would set it off nice. Personally I think it would look real nice. Plus your truck looks prety much like what I plan to do to mine and I have the stainless Westin 4" platinum series ovals, a polished locking fuel door, in-channel vent shades, and in the near future a Rancho 4" lift, with Helo series HE791 17' rims and 35x12.50 Pro Comp X-Treme A/T tires. So yeah, go with the stainless!

Yep Stainless would look sweet on that truck!

I Currently drive a Black F250 (soon to change back to a dodge) with stainless westin step bars, they really contrast well with black trucks.

I Only wish Black Trucks were Easyer to Keep Clean, I can was mine and within 3 days it looks like I havn't washed it in 6 months...

hmm...we've got 2 that say black and 2 that say stainless. Personally, I hate the polished fuel door... it says "hey look at me everyone, this is where all the gas goes in!!" really pulls the eyes away from the rest of the truck. I'm probably gonna paint it black to match the rest of the truck.

Anyone feel like photoshopping my pics so I could see what stainless vs black would actually look like? Thanks

i would say it depends on if you are ever going to get a brush guard because the would have to match but i would say chrome as it would add something different and contrast the black and looks nice as well and westin is pretty good for a decent price

Black! I have the Westins that are straight, not curved....good in black....You hardly notice them as they tuck up nice and tight against the body. They are adjustable as well.

I have trailFX steps on mine...i believe they are stainless, and i get alot of compliments on them. they are polished and really shine...i believe they also sell black ones too. they are clean looking, cant see any mounting hardware or anything.

Dang rssjib those look really nice. I love how flush they fit with the body. The cheapest price i've found on them though is 310 including mount kit. I found the curved westins for 195...do they fit as good?
