When it comes to having a safe platform for entry or exit from a tall vehicle, running boards are an excellent option, but nerf bars are a little tougher and add a cleaner line to a truck's profile and appearance.
Nerf bars, also known as side steps, are tubular in shape and might feature loop, stirrup-style steps for entry and exit, with a nonskid surface. They're commonly available in stainless, chrome, or powder-coat finishes and are built for the type of punishment that can come with off-road use (and can even stand up to rock-crawling action).
Nerf bars are usually available in diameters of 3 to 6 inches, depending on the application, and can fit Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Toyota, Nissan, and about any other truck you can think of. Here at Advance, you can dress up your truck with a truly practical accessory from top brands like Smittybilt, Westin, and Lund, at price points you'll love.
