I was originally going to get the nfabs, but they just didn't look as good on a scab as they did on the screw, plus I wanted something a little more functional. I've narrowed it down to two. They both pretty much look the same, but the Westins are $30 more than the steelcraft bars. It also doesn't hurt that both are under $200 . Both will be bought in black, not the chrome finish. Take a look at the two and tell me if u see any real differences and which one you'd choose. I'm personally leaning towards the steelcraft ones. Thanks for any opinions!

tough choice, so close...looks like the Scraft hug the body a bit more than the Westin's do.

I noticed that it says that no drilling is required for most vehicles. Do u have to drill for the f-150?

Scraft = no drilling based on the first customer review:

Installation and instructions were simplified. Installed both bars in less than an hour with no drilling. Can't believe they are so solid and sturdy with only two connection points on the two braces provided, which are right on the ends of the bars.

I like the Steele Crafts. They look factory. I dont like ones that curve around to the frame.

Westin = no drilling either but the directions for the install could be better...

Very happy. Installation was a breeze. No drilling, just hand tools. Highly recommend!!!!!
