OEM Step Bars or Rockyrails Rock Sliders
I hate to beat a dead horse here but I've seen so many different opinions on which bars everyone uses. I don't care for the aftermarket bars on E-Bay at all because they look like they are a three piece unit. The OEM barslook very nice andseem to be very popularbut the Rockyrails look like the sturdiest. I think they are priced about the same.

I would think it would depend on what you want to do with it. Like if you are hitting trails and climing rock get the sliders. If your never leaving the pavment then get the steps. The step bars sit lower then the sliders so you are going to lose clearence with the step.

The comparison really is OEM rockrails or Rocky Road. As Defkon said, you don't get step bars (nerf bars) if you offroad. If you don't offroad there's little reason to get the Rocky Roads. It's a matter of how you use the truck, not what you want to buy.

RE: OEM Step Bars or Rockyrails Rock Sliders
Well I guess you answered my question. I don't rock climb but I do go off road. I'd like the OEM step bar for easier access to the truck but the Rocky Roads for protection. I guess I can't have both. On my previous vehicle (F350) I was always bending the running boards from getting stuckor going over logs and things like thatat my hunting camp soI guess I need the Rocky Roads. Thanks for the imput.

I ended up getting SS step bars from ebay. The brand is truck champ and they are really nice!!! Very heavy made and really nice brackets....just like the oem but not the oem price.

Solarflare,
I understand why the Rocky Roads wouldn't work for you as you wanted SS/Chrome. I think the OEM bars only come in black and chrome, not SS.In my opinion the SS is the way to go, much better then the chrome because after a few years chrome looks like sh*t. I want black and was actually thinking of getting whatever type of bars I choose sprayed with LineX before I installed them.

Here are two shots of the OEM rocker with the attached steps. They are very easy to attach and take off if the clearance is needed. The second photo is a little farther away but does show both of them on it. I love it and I think it looks more aggressive.
