Default Nerf Step Bars with no drilling required

Hello,

I have a 2006 Mega Cab 2500 for which I'd like to get a set of nerf bar/tube steps.

I really like the N-Fab style but I don't want to drill any holes. I bought the truck used and it has two brackets hanging down. One at each end inside the wheels. I assume that these are from tube steps of some kind from the previous owner.

Does anyone know of nerf bar/tube steps that are bolt on? If I can find the ones that use these brackets it would really make life easy.

Thanks!

I just bought these off of Ebay and did not have to do any drilling on my 07 1500.

i got mine from truckchamp.com

http://www.truckchamp.com/index.asp?...S&Category=393

free shipping it was the cheapest I found for about a weeks worth of looking anyway.

Bought my Nerf Bars, Bed Rails , Window Visors here not a single problem and were here next day. AMAZING ! I think the main reason why is that they have a distribution here in the KC area or failry close. I doubt I would ever buy from another source unless the price is ridicoulous low but then I would maybe worry about the quality.

BTW I did buy there house brand Truck Champ which are cheaper and had them all for about a year Stainless Steel and shiney today as the day I bought em well minus the but on mud from this hoilday weekend...

agreed. they'll say in the description if they are no drill. most you'll have to do is take the old brackets off and put the new ones on.

I had a set of Bully nerf bars on mine and they started to rust in a year. Now I have the Mopar bars and they are awesome. They do have a warranty and they require no drilling at all.

Thanks everyone!

Does anyone know if the Go Rhino Dominators require drilling for a Dodge?

Thanks
