All step bars are not created equal, as any professional installer will confirm! Westin controls every step of the manufacturing process with in-house cutting, bending, stamping, polishing, state-of-the-art chrome plating and electrostatic powder coating. But long before the manufacturing begins, Westin engineers go to great lengths to utilize existing holes in the vehicle's frame for maximum strength and an easy no-drill installation. After manufacturing and double inspection, the bars are packed in custom-fit cartons which eliminate freight damage ensuring that the bars arrive in perfect shape. The 3" steel tubing features a recessed, rather than cut out, step area with a molded slip-resistant step pad that won't fade, crack or lift over time. Black powder coat and brilliant chrome finishes are backed by Westin's 5-year warranty against rust.
