TAC Side Steps Fit Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra 1999-2018 1500 & 1999-2019 2500/3500 Extended/Double Cab (Excluding C/K Classic) (Body Mount) Truck Pickup 3" Black Side Bars Nerf Bars 2 Pieces

Perfect

These bars are great! Very stable, and really appreciate the third brackets on them

While the product looked virtually like what was on the vehicle that rusted out and needed replacing, the mountings were different than the original. That and the brackets provided would not mount correctly as the vehicle manufacture changed what body bolts were available to remove and install bracket onto. In this case, the front and center brackets mounted to body shock bolts correctly, however the back ones no longer existed as the rear bracket bolts were no longer there, replaced by upward facing welded studs used to mount the rear seats in the quad king cab. That made the mounting surface 5 inches different than had it used the shock mount bolt design un the box to frame. So I had to fabricate steel spacers, welded and provide a fastening method to secure the spacers to the frame. a combination of steel fabrication, welding, painting, seat and stud removal, replacement, reinstall seats, secure, seal from weather, secure spacers then bolt supplied brackets to the spacers. Plus the supplied rear brackets were reversed marked, DR for Drivers Rear and PR for Passenger Rear were mismarked and actually swing the other direction. So DR gets mounted on Passenger side Rear, while PR gets mounted on Drivers side Rear. It's a not a quick, drop in replacement as described for the 2018 Chevy quad king cab frame style. But it does function well and looks like the previous step pipes. With the slight differences of this design, believe the pipes won't rust in the same way as this one had vented ends for water to not collect inside,

Installed these on my 03 1500 Silverado extended cab. I wasn't looking for a top-of-the-line product since I was installing them on an older truck. The bars arrived quickly. Packaging could have been a little better. There was a small dent in one of the ends but you can't see it because of where it bolts up against the bracket. Installation was a breeze. Took me a little less than an hour. I would not recommend using a torque wrench for the body bolts. Almost stripped one of the heads due to the age and rust. Use a breaker bar instead. I did not have very high expectations given I only paid just over $100 for these. There is a little flex when you stand on them (I'm 175lbs), but I don't intend on jumping up and down on them, so they should hold up just fine. As you can see from the third picture they scratch very easily. That scratch was done during installation when I accidentally dropped it about 8 inches onto the concrete. But all in all for the price and ease of installation they definitely satisfy my need.

Overall like the steps needed them mainly for my wife to get into my lifted truck, they look great on my truck so I don’t mind at all. Only thing is they do seem to flex a little when stepped on but I assume that is just from the body mounts but the overall product is great quality, brackets are strong aswell. And instructions are fairly easy for anyone to understand took me less than 30 min to install

I bought these after my last set of running boards rusted through (different brand). These were really easy to install, took about an hour by myself. It really helps to have a second person there to hold them in place while you put in the first two bolts. They are nice looking and good quality. They fit easily onto my 2001 Silverado 2500HD.One thing I liked was that it has a support bar in the middle. My last set only bolted to the vehicle at the two ends and had no center support. It does flex some when I step on it, but I'm 220 lbs so that is expected honestly.You will want a ratchet with an extension and a breaker bar. I only needed the breaker on maybe 3 out of the 6 body bolts. They were honestly really easy to take out and then reinstall after the first turn broke free. Other recommended tools: torque wrench, anti-seize lubricant (for reinstalling the bolts).

I had been looking for steps for my truck for a while - my wife has been finding it harder and harder to get up into the truck. I looked at a lot of steps and really liked the look of these and the reviews were very good. It came well packaged (the original package is HEAVY - be aware!). I was able to install these on my own in about an hour. My wife and i have found these to be very helpful and she has not issues getting into the truck now!

Everything was great and sturdy, but you will have to line the center bracket just right or the center bracket wont line up with the step for my truck, but other than that it was perfect!
