Interested in feedback on the chrome step bars. I will be putting them on my 04 S'Crew Lariat.

Any major difference in the 4" and 5" models besides the obvious step width.

I've been quote $325 on the 4", and $375 on the 5" version.

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Someone post some pics too! I gotta decide the same thing.

jaypat are you going with ford brand or outside vendor?

 

I'm looking at Ford OEM step bars. I have looked at some aftermarkets, but prefer to keep it original. Dealer wanted way too much for them when I bought the truck. I knew they could be had for less.

 

TechBargins,

found the following album with the 4" OEM bars.

The 5" are a bit more oval. I went with the 5" after changing my mind last minute, and am glad I did. They give you a bit larger surface to step on, and I think they look a lot better :

 

Very nice... I am getting the 5" steps in black put on mine this Thursday... those look great.

 

I had the same decision to make a few months ago. I went with the 5's and am glad I did. I'm sure the 4's would be fine, but I like the wider step, the "beefier" look, and although I'm not 100% sure about this.........I think they likely extend a little more off the side of the truck and may help to minimize door dings. The only way anybody can "get me" now is if they have a condiderably higher vehicle than mine. So far so good.
