Product Details

Universal 3" Black Powder Coat Round Nerf Bars (DZ3700291) by Dee Zee®, 1 Pair. Length: 64". With 2 Step Pads per Side. For smaller and mid-size trucks and vans where a custom-fitted step bar is not available, Dee Zee offers the 3" universal steel nerf bars. They mount directly to the body of the vehicle with a minor amount of drilling.

Installation

When you have a pickup truck, van, or sport utility for which you cannot find a custom-sized step bar, Dee Zee offers the Universal 3" Round Nerf Bars. They’re built to fit most light trucks, and mount directly to the body of the vehicle with a small amount of drilling. Reinforced steel construction provides the solidity you need during heavy duty use, and universal 3" nerf bars are available in your choice of lengths and finishes to best serve your needs – each of which is designed to provide a durable surface that resists discoloration and scratches. See Product Options for details.

With these running boards that extend further out from the vehicle, you’ll never have to struggle for footing on a narrow ledge running board again. And no matter how bad the weather is, two black center pads on each bar made from durable urethane provide textured surfaces for grip so any snow, mud, and water will be scrubbed off the soles of your shoes before slips can occur. Unlike some running boards and step bars that are visually compromised by unsightly support brackets, Round Nerf Bars feature powder coated steel brackets that are designed to mount underneath the bar ends – exactly where they need to be in order to remain out of sight. Some drilling may be required for installation of the 3" Universal Oval Nerf Bars and all necessary hardware and instructions are included.

Side Steps
Although I haven’t taken them out of the box I’m sure they’re perfect. I had a three inch body lift installed making it difficult to get in and out, tearing up the seat. It’s in the shop getting new paint and interior and these steps will finish the restoration.

Solid Bars, No Complaints
These bars look great and give a solid step. Definitely needed the extra help getting in and out, and these do the trick. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for simple, sturdy nerf bars.

Not Bad Not Great
As mention in prior post end caps snap off before even installing! Couple self tapping screws fixes it ! I love the look BUT THE standard step sides from Ford are better quality ! I just wanted black instead of chrome so I will go with these for now !

Great Product
Absolutely the best. Very strong, easy to install, very well made and nice shipping packaging. This is the 3rd different running board I have put on my truck. The continuous bar one I had was fine just looked boring. The second side step boards with fixed steps looked good, but the steps were in bad locations and absolutely useless. These, however, look even better and the step placement is easily adjusted to functional locations. AND they are aluminum, so rust from rock chips is no longer a concern. Highly recommended.

Great Product
These are very well made with a very nice black finish. Easy to install and very strong. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is the packaging is terrible. They had no internal packaging to stop them from banging against one another and nicking the paint. The paint was strong so the required touchups were minimal, but it could be easily avoided with better packaging.

HEX Series Cab Length Side Steps
These are great. My new 2019 Ram 3500 had none and I decided to get something different than the ordinary oval or round steps. These are a great looking and very functional set of steps. Added benefit, they are fully adjustable! You can move them forward or rearward along the hex tube to customize the location of the Steps. Got the black power coat, these look bad *** on my White Ram. The mounting brackets and nut are my ONLY issue. Hence, 4 stars... The nuts to mount the main bracket to my ram are WAY too soft and basically strip in the nut shaped holes in the frame. Instructions say to torque to 15-20 ft lbs. Back this off to 15lbs, and they just spun (stripping the net in the hex hole). ALMOST sent these back but... I figured out how to reengineer it. Using the 8x1.25 bolt and nuts from Home Depot. Using a 8' zip ties I put this thru the bracket and the hole in the frame, then the nut and flashed the zip tie holding the nut with my finger, carefully removed the zip tie (holding the nut with my finger, threaded the bolt thru and loosely screwed it to the nut. This works perfectly! Probably need to have someone redesign this nutzie thing... TOO SOFT. 5 stars for the looks and functionality, one star knock-off for having to reengineer the Nutzie's. Highly recommend these but be carefiul...

Poor end caps
They are study and look great after installed. The end caps on them are of poor quality. All were falling off when they arrived. They had busted at the rivet which was put there to hold them in place. I repaired all the end caps by putting a self-tapping screw through them. They are fine now and I love the way they look. Just think there is some quality issues with the plastic end caps.

Offroad Side Steps
Looks great! The hexagon tube looks very different then the ordinary round tubes that are on most trucks. It adds an aggressive off road appearance.
