Then order those. If they do turn out cheap, just reinforce them. For sure alter the brackets and pull them closer to the truck. You obviously know how to weld if you make roll cages so since they fit a super crew then cut them where you need to and fit it to your truck. If they are only $160, if you mess up you can just buy some more.

I built my own about 2 weeks ago and had them Line-Xed... It took 32 total hours of work, but they put brands like N-Fab and stuff to shame. I used 3" pipe .084" thick. I cut the endcaps by hand in a lathe and the steps I wrote the program for and the CNC Mill cut them out. I tig welded everything except the pipe to the brackets which was mig welded due to the curve of the pipe since I used the mounting brackets from my stock steps. Also click the link on the bottom right of the pick for a close up of the step.

Yeah just looked and for some 3" tubing looks like for the amount i will need its gonna run me about 160. So i can have steps already made up, just fab them up a little more for that much. Figure mise well why not. Now just need to sneak some funds out to buy them.
