Look Great!
Bought these for my 2012 Ford Explorer. After searching and looking at different styles and checking out reviews, decided on these and glad I did. They look great! Are low profile and do not protrude out. Look like they came with the vehicle. Also and most importantly they are so helpful for me getting in my vehicle. Have had a problem with back and leg and it was hard (I'm 5") and painful getting in my car. These are awesome. The price is great too. Would highly recommend these. Am very pleased with these. :)

Mostly Easy Install & Look Great
I'm a 5'1" grandma and a florist - my husband's back was out, so I installed these myself in the gravel driveway with oil-change ramps. The only issue was drilling the hole needed for the extra support bracket because I'm not as strong as I wish and the passenger side was in a partially blocked location; but directions were clear and easy to follow. The bars look great on my light silver 2013 Explorer, and making getting in and out much easier. My son recommended I get the good quality stainless steel to avoid rusting out like some chromed ones we'd had on an other vehicle. These look great, they are sturdy and unobtrusive.

Easy to Install
The product looks good and was easy to install. The instructions said to be for a 2011 Explorer and I was installing on a 2013, but they worked fine. I went slow on the driver's side and reread the instructions several times to make sure I got it right. Took about an hr. Passenger side was 15 minutes. The website said no drill, but there drilling is required if you want to install the final bracket.

Qaud Cab Step Bars Awesome!
Instruction left a bit to be desired, but simply enough to figure out. Had to remove the old ones form 21 years ago as they were about to fall off. To remove old ones, you'll need a cutting torch! Or a cut-off wheel.

Perfect Fit
These steps were extremely easy to install, about 15 mins a side. Will say it worked out great to have a second person to hold them in place while getting bolts started. Coating on the steps looks very good which mine are black. Side steps aren’t for everyone but at the end of the day makes getting in and out of the truck easy.

Looks Good, Easy Install.
The bars look great and only took about 2 hours to install. They are defiantly very sturdy and should stand up well.

Great Addition to the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Classic
The side bars are well designed with the cab body bushing mounting brackets and especially the center supports. The parts were also well marked for driver's side and passenger side - no confusion during installation and the printed instructions were actually legible! Now my wife can enter the truck with a convenient step and less trouble. Highly recommended.

Bars Fit Well, Look Good, Should Come Out From Car One Inch Further.
I use the bars to reach the roof so I don’t have to step on my car’s trim interior. The bars were easy to install and look great. They’re a little too close to the car body to get a good step with leverage up to the roof. Still sorta do the trick though. 4/5
