Default Side steps/running boards

Hey everyone, I'm new to the page. I've got a 06 F150 FX4. I've got a 8" lift on 37s and looking for some running boards/side steps that'll look good, looking for some opinions, I'll put a couple pics of my truck below, thanks for the feedback and some ideas !

I bought nasta steps about 6 years ago and they are still great. They have no issues holding my fat *** up, and they are still shiny and nice. The selling point for me was that they are all stainless, steps,brackets,nuts,and bolts.

Another advantage to having side steps on a lifted truck is that they provide an excellent way to prevent door dings! When someone parks on top of you and swings open their door, they bang it into your side steps.

I chuckle at the different color paint I find on mine whenever I give the truck its wash; easily removed with wax. I'm thinking though that I should leave the paint on; kind of like a memorial to how many folks have dings in their doors, while mine remain nice!

I found a pair or stock aluminum ones (never going to rust) on Craigslist for $125 I love them.

My truck has the Nasta steps. It is an off road package so it is fairly high but not as high as yours. My kids like the bars for stepping up on. I just go right past them though since I am 6'2'. I agree with the other poster about preventing doors from hitting your truck.
