Step-by-Step: Installing Step Bars/Nerf Bars


Slide Show

Step bars, also referred to as nerf bars, are among the most popular exterior upgrades for trucks and SUVs. They provide easier access to your vehicle’s interior, particularly if your rig has a suspension or body lift. They come in a variety of designs and finishes to add an element of style to your vehicle. And best of all, nerf bars are generally simple to install. In fact, most can be installed on a Saturday morning with just a basic set of hand tools.

Using Westin Oval Tube Step Bars as an example, we’ll illustrate just how easy it is to install most step bars/nerf bars. Westin Oval Tube Step Bars feature a redesigned step pad with special grooves to channel water away during rainy weather. They come with molded end caps for a clean, modern look and are available with chrome, polished, or black powdercoated finishes.

Keep in mind, Summit Racing carries a huge variety of step bars and step bar-related products from Westin and other top brand names. This includes:
