most people on ck5 dont run nerfs... the steal ground clearance and get crushed pretty easily by rocks. Rocker replacement is prefered. Most peeps here prefer lower COG lifts too. Prolly why you are not getting a lot of responses. how about the old chain step trick? weld 5-6 links together to form the "step"... leave the rest normal and have each end bolted to the floor in the truck. When you want to get in, you drop it down, step on the welded links and get in... then you pull it in after you so its not in the way.

first off where are the pics??? sounds awesome.

And I had never heard of the chain idea--I think that would be kinda cool
But also you could try some of those retracting steps. I can't remember who makes the mbut I see them everywhere.

sorry, dont have any pics for ya. I never did it myself... to get in my rig I climb a rear tire and walk to the front and sit down so I never had a need for steps. Its simple enough to it doesn't need much explanation for a pic tho. Added advantage, if you can weld its dirt cheap.

yeah I don't need em either. I can get in mine without a problem(sometimes it pays to be tall) but I just like the idea

Ive heard of buying horse styrups and mounting them to a seat bolt, same as the chain...just more redneck

I am running rock sliders and they stick out enough for me to step on. Not sure if this is what you want but it works for my better half.

Here is a picture of my rig with Carr hoop II series steps. I only have hoops for the front doors because the exploding saddle tanks on the side do not give me enough clearance to install them for the back doors. After I get rid of the saddle tanks for a custom fuel tank in the bed, I will install the back door hoops. I got them from Summit Racing for $45 a pair. The great thing about these hoops are that they are easy to remove when you go wheelin, and then can be reinstalled after you are done.

Thanks, but I already have a brand new second pair ready to go for when I remove the fuel tanks.

I run Carr Super Hoops on mind. I like them, nice big step. Only thing was the price, $109.99 at Summit and I had to modify the brackets to clear the saddle gas tanks, but overall, I am happy with those.
