so i just got a new f150, but my mom and little brother have a hard time getting in it. Since my parents paid for most of it, they say i have to get some sort of step for them. Does anyone have any recommendations on a rock slider/nerf bar/running board that is under 500 but still keeps a respectable ground clearance for 4 wheeling?

 

n-fab.com bars are pretty good.. you can look around on other auto sites for a lower price on them. smittybilt is also a decent brand just got to look around

 

Here are my nerfs ... hope this helps. They're NFAB wheel-to-wheel 4-steps for the Regular Cab Single Bed (RCSB).

 

Go rhino has step bars like n fab but cheaper.

 

Sounds like you want something like the N-fabs. They're high and tight to the body, but the steps hang down.

Since you want them to help your mother, I'd recommend getting them either totally Line-X'ed or at least put some bedliner or grip tape on the step part. The black powdercoat is always slippery if you don't have rubber-soled shoes, and extremely slippery in wet weather.

Got mine from autoanything.com for something like $350 shipped. Search around, autoanything will price match.

 

Thanks guys, those NFABS were exactly what i was looking for...Jeb99ta-i was looking at a truck just like that-stx short bed reg cab 4x4...i bet its a beast off road

 

Well, haven't had a chance to take it off road for anything serious, but, I've taken in through some dirt back-roads on the street tires and she handled pretty well. Haven't had it off road with the Nitto's since I got the tires on 2 weeks ago. With the shorter wheelbase, it should crawl some rocks and creekbeds pretty well.

NFAB's are a little pricey, but, they're worth it once you get them bolted down. Adn they line up perfectly IMO.
