Rough Country Nerf Steps Quick Review

[Jeffola]

I have had a few different sets of bars on my truck. First was stock, too wide, keeps scraping the back of my left leg getting in and out. They had to go. Bought N-Fab RS Nerf Steps. They rusted in 8 weeks. They were replaced with Go Rhino RB30 Slim, which are NOT slim and came right off Because they are too wide and mount using pressure, not ideal. Crappy design. I know Realtruck just joined as a sponsor, but they have bought up so many companies in the truck accessories category, to be nice I will say they haven’t made their products better for it.

Shipping, Bought from Rough Country direct, free shipping and let me tell you, they know how to pack and ship. The bars came well protected from damage (See photo).

Install was very easy, one bolt stay for each bracket is a fork, so you thread the three bolts corresponding, and lift up and slide into place. Thread in the last three and tighten as you should. Sure easy one person install.

High and tight, very narrow, perfect for me and my wife as well (Shes 5’2” I’m 6’3” so our needs differ).

Nice finish and an overall good product. Let’s hope they stay rust free.

That type of step makes a truck look like it has nipples, and I just cant unsee it. Glad you found something you like

Interesting take.

yeah, interesting. Uuuumm. Ok!

listen if the stock boards didn’t rub my ankle skin clean off, they’d have stayed.
Thanks, it’s definitely what I’ve been looking for.

I found the trick for the stock ones is to use your left leg to step on the rail as you get out, which then allows you to just step down with the right.

This is what I do as well. Despite being tall enough to not need them, I appreciate the protection they provide and think the seat bolsters will keep their shape better long term doing this for entry/exit.

Looks great. I just ordered a set and you can’t beat the price with free shipping.

That's exactly my thought and left leg technique. And I typically do not like running board look on trucks however I like them on my Ranger Raptor and think they look good and serve a purpose of protecting the paint. I already have a few good chips in other parts of my truck somehow.

I had N-Fab ones like that on a previous vehicle. I had to paint them every spring after a couple years.
6 weeks that just sucks.

I’m going to put the factory ones back on.
