Default Nerf Bars with Steps

Been shopping for nerf bars with the side steps.

NFab, Iron Cross, Go Rhino, Westin are on my list. Heading to an accessories place to lay eyes on what I can. I've only been looking online.

Suggestions or Ideas?
Truck is a Lariat SCrew 4x4 with color match bumpers. Probably going to do black nerfs even though I still have aluminum OEM wheels.

Hopefully I can get some black wheels one day or have the OEMs painted black to match.

I got a set of black NFab bars for my Scab. I really like the way they look and were super easy to install. Ordered them from Runningboard warehouse.

Thanks man, I'm liking the NFab as well. I really like how high up the main tube is against the body.

Do you know the diameter of the main tube and step tubes. I've looked on their website and they don't specify it. Was hoping it is at least 3" OD. I've seen some that look too small.

Here's a photo, I would say your correct on the 6". They are extremely sturdy and I think look the best.

Thanks Techrep and STX.
STX, they look great. I'm liking them more and more.
How "grippy" is the step?
Another safety issue I'm thinking of with a small kiddo.
