TAC Side Step Fit 2015-2024 Ford F150 Regular Cab | 2017-2024 Ford F250/F350/F450/F550 Super Duty Regular Cab 3" Black Nerf Bars Running Boards Off Road 2pcs

I hesitated to buy these for my new F-150. The price scared me because they were only a third of the price of some better-known brands. But based on the reviews, I took the chance and ordered.I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the packaging. All the items were carefully taped and sealed with bubble wrap (dual layers on the ends of the bars) and held firmly in place with well-designed styrofoam blocking. All the left side parts were packaged in one color of wrap, and the right side pieces in another. Made it a breeze to sort out during installation.The instructions were simple, and I installed the bars without any help. The only minor difficulty I encountered was that the truck's mounting bolts were painted, making it a little tough to get a good starting thread with the shipped mounting nuts. If I were doing it again, I might wire-brush the vehicle bolts before installation to make the threading easier. Also, to be extra careful, I did the installation with only hand tools. No power tools are required.After the installation, I stood on the bars and rocked the truck. No flex, no creaks. Rock solid. I took a step back to admire my handiwork, then I noticed it: A NICKEL-SIZED DENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NERF BAR! After examination, I realized it matched up to a perforation on the side of the shipping box I had noticed earlier. Looked like a forklift tooth had had its way with my bar. Man, was I bummed!So, I go and read the Amazon return policy and it implied I couldn't get just a replacement part. I had to return the purchased item. That meant uninstalling everything I had just put on the truck and repackaging it for return. WAY too much effort, so I reached out to the vendor via Amazon email. They got back to me within 24 hours and told me they would do what it took to make it right. I sent them pictures of the damaged bar and packaging, and they promptly shipped a new replacement. They were quick, committed, and courteous. Long story short, the new bar is currently in my garage awaiting installation after I get over my current bout of Covid.In summary, I couldn't be happier with my purchase and would buy again from these guys without hesitation. Like I said in the headline, good product and a great value.One final note on a few bad reviews I have seen on Nerf Bars, in general, complaining about rust on the mounting hardware. If you own an F150 with an aluminum body, you MUST use the plastic insulators included in the package for the mounting hardware. Steel against aluminum in an open environment is going to create rust. Simple physics. So be careful unpacking. The insulators are clear plastic. Don't overlook them. Use them.

Your truck has 2 sets of 3 8mm studs on each side. Install is easy. Brackets mount to these studs. Be sure to clean the studs with a brush and use the plastic washers to keep the steel bars from touching the aluminum body. Be sure to check the instructions;driver and passenger side hardware are different. Slide the brackets onto the studs. Use washers and 8mm nuts to attach brackets. Don't fully tighten yet. Attach bars to brackets with large bolts, washers and lock nuts.Torque brackets to 18 ft lbs or so. Large bolts can be torqued to 60 ft lbs or so, but use much less torque than this; I squashed the end of one tube slightly trying to torque bolts by the book.Takes about an hour. These look good and are strong. I usually don't review items until I've use them awhile. With these I saw no reason to wait

Work as intended. Super easy install and look as described. Buy with confidence.

They fit great and we're easy to install. My sister liked them so much, she bought a set for her husband's truck.

The new steps replaced my old rusty one’s perfectly! They work as great as they look!

Came packaged really well. Steps are heavier than expected. Product was pretty easy to install. Only took two tools really. Only reason I gave 4 stars is one of the smaller brackets broke from a bad weld. I welded it back no problem. I really like the way they look. They give me a rugged look. With out a doubt I would recommend!

Took the gamble on these but the quality for the price is amazing. Got a regular cab f150 and felt like some nice solid running boards would be a nice touch and nice they are. The look is awesome and the build is strong as my 320 lbs. Butt steps on it everyday with no problems. Just went through the worst part of winter too and so far no rust and no slipping on then. The installation was dumb easy as Ford already has the studs under the cab for you and this kit has everything to mount on like they were from the factory. They actually look better (in my opinion) then the stock options and definitely add protection to your doors from rocks getting kicked up by your tires as I constantly hear rocks bouncing off them. Would definitely recommend them.

These are the second set for my truck. Very easy to install and only need a few tools. They look clean and provide great grip. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a clean looking running board.
