Default Sidesteps or no Sidesteps, U decide

Here is the stock picture and the picture with the sidesteps installed, if you are planning on getting some this should help you decide. If they dont come up they are in my garage

I think it depends on a) the model and b) the color and c) your desired appearance.

I went looking for a Laramie with RamBox and in red. The one the dealer had with RamBox in red had the side steps looked kid-like to us. We arent 17, we're 38/40. I'm not sure about the brown interior either with red and chrome.

So we ended up with Austin Tan, no RamBox, and I am a happy man. I know I'm getting old, now I have bought a brown truck and think it looks great!

ya i have the full mopar side steps (it extends to the rear tire) and i love them! expecially the step that is at the rear box, makes it 100 times easier to get items from the back of the box

I will be putting on a set, but I am not buying the over priced mopar, but also will not by the $150 set of the month. I am waiting for Nasta to get their bars out. Had them on my 05. Not one spec of rust on them, and by them I mean every component down to the nuts and bolts holding them on.

The truck is high enough that a lack of bars can cause shorter people issues getting in and out. Does not affect me,I am 6'2", but I know a few short girls it bothers. Do not **** off the women, they can make your life hell.

I needed them for the kids, but I like the way they look as well.

Either way looks good, the truck does look higher without them.
