Default bed rails

I'm considering a set of bed rails for my 2500. Which ones are good? Any I should avoid? Any side view pics are appreciated.

I've seen some 1 7/8" stainless ones on ebay. Those seem too small for the truck. I want something thick that will look nice with the step bars.

Hi Guys! I´m from Germany and own a RAM 1500 Laramie from 2008. I´m new to this great forum and registered because I have a question relating to these Putco Bedrails. I found this thread so I post here, I think its better than starting a new one...

I want to have bedrails on my truck. But I´m also not sure which ones are right. First I was sure that it must be the "Boss look" but after viewing some pics (could not found many) I`m not sure anymore. I read here of some pictures but couldnt find them..

Does anyone has pictures for me of Putco bedrails in regular size and also some with the large boss lockers? Just want to decide soon to place an order in the US...

Would be great of some guys can help me!

Thanks a lot

Tom

I personally don't like the putco design. They are a 3 piece and have open style finger type ends. I like the complete one piece design. Also, Putco's are not 2.5" I think they are 1-1/2"or 1-7/8". These here are Stainless as well, a one piece design and are 1.9" and 1/3 of the price and T304 Stainless as well... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2002-...spagenameZWDVW

Putco Boss rails are very nice looking. I've installed several on trucks I like them a lot.

Has anybody some pics installed on a truck? I just search some "true" pictures, not the advertising pics from Putco...
