Wheel well to wheel well side bars on a supercab?

My Hunter nerf bars are suffering from a case of inadequate rust preventative during the manufacturing process, and living the last 8+ years along the salty Texas gulf coast. I need to replace them.

I am considering going with a set of Go Rhino step bars in black, but I am stuck on which ones to get. The wheel well to wheel well models offer the advantage of giving me a "step up" into the bed of the truck, which is honestly quite a pain in the tail right now, and isn't getting any easier as I get older.

My only hesitation is I am worried about the longer bars looking funny on the truck.

I would love to see pics if anyone has them on their truck here, or have pics of one that is set up that way, could you please post up a few pics to help me decide?

Thanks...

I don't think they look funny, personally. I like the "6 step" ones. Mine are cab length.

I am at about 40% cab length, 40% wheel well to wheel well, and 20% frustrated because this shouldn't be a hard choice...

If the wheel to wheel ones will help you out, I'd get em. I kinda wish mine were, and if I ordered them myself, I probably would've gotten them

THANK YOU! That is perfect.

The Westin and Go Rhino bars are almost identical to each other, so that REALLY helps me visuallize it!

I had to get crap out of the front of the bed last night. I have decided, I am going to put wheel well to wheel well bars on my truck. I need the step up.
