Bumping this up to see if anyone cares to chime in. Come on guys, can't believe none of us here are going for the aftermarket steps, considering the price gap to OEM ones.

I bought from Amazon and got it installed by a local mechanic. It was listed for 280 and at the time it was for 240 with a 40 coupon. Installation was 150$. Well worth the price. I compared with oem and no big difference. You can also try aliexpress as I got other stuff there and all were good

Thanks. Would you mind pasting a link of the specific one you bought? There seems to be at least three options current at Amazon, with the blacked out version being the least expensive at $365 less a 5%coupon.

So I messaged the seller on Amazon and he said its out of stock and he is expecting to restock in a week or two and he said he will message me. Not sure how soon it will become available but thats what I have so far for this -

Search on Ebay. As there are lots of different vendor options to purchase them.

Thanks. I wonder why the one by Snailfly is so much cheaper than the others. On the other hand, it is the only one with (real customers) reviews.

If you want help getting into the truck, yes. But they are not a rock sliders and will actually interfere with trail obstacles if you are thinking about off-roading.
