Great looking truck!! I would replace them with nerf bars!! I just had mine off to paint them and forgot how nice it is to have them. Especially since you have a lift!! When mine were off I just didn't like the look, something was missing.

Nice looking truck...I'm partial to that color too! Nerf bars would look better than those but so would Amp Research hide-a-ways.

I have a nissan titan with a 6in lift and GoRhino nerf bars and they look/work great...
They would look pretty sweet on your truck in my opinion...hope that helps. Awesome truck, by the way

im partial to factory just because they blend so well and dont draw attention to themselves. after all i dont really want the steps to be the focus on my truck. and the factory ones tuck up in there so well it doesnt make the truck look lower

I think nerf bars would fit the "look" of the truck better, but I'd powder coat them the same as the paint color. They'd still be understated like your current boards are, but would have a little more edge to them. Either way, good looking truck.

I just got a set of N-Fab nerf side-steps, and had them sprayed with black Line-X to match the brushguard. Plan to install them over the weekend, so no pics yet. But that might be an option for your truck...

The N-Fabs are my favorite of the nerf bars.

Looking again at the pictures of your truck, and reading the following comment...

...what if you just painted your factory running boards to match the body color? They would blend in perfectly with your truck.
