Westin R5 step bars installed on a truck

Westin's R5 nerf bars make the trip from your vehicle's door to the ground a smooth transition. The bars' straight-style design and squared edges offer a rugged look, and the 5" width provides greater stability than narrower round bars.


Concealed mounting bracket cover on a Westin R5 step bar

Injection-molded covers conceal the mounting brackets used to install the step bars for a seamless, from-the-factory appearance.


5-Inch step pads on Westin R5 step bar

Oversize step pads allow you and your passengers to safely step out of your vehicle. The grooves in the UV-resistant, injection-molded polymer pads provide traction and direct water away from the surface of the bars to help prevent slipping.


No need to worry about rust on these nerf bars. Not only are they constructed of durable, rustproof stainless steel, but the black molded plastic endcaps also keep out moisture to help prevent internal corrosion.


Installing the bars is easy. A mounting kit is included, featuring custom brackets that bolt onto existing holes in your vehicle's rocker panels - no drilling necessary.

2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Not only did the Nerf Bars arrive in excellent condition, they were a beautiful addition to our customers 2018 Chevrolet. Our customer was very satisfied with how wonderfully they complimented his new truck as well as the ease of getting in and out of his truck.
Instillation was simple and hassle-free.
I highly recommend this WESTIN Automotive product to anyone on the fence about which Running Boards to purchase.



by:

First off, instructions are horrible. They constantly contradict themselves. What was supposed to be a simple install turned into an 5 hour ordeal. Do not attempt torque anything, you will wind up bending the brackets and breaking them, just hand tighten them. I feel as if there should have been another support instead of 3 for a crew cab truck. Overall product is good. It did come with a ding in it but by the time I realized it I had already put the brackets on so there was no returning it.

A year later, it’s been fantastic! These running boards hold up well and no signs of rust or damage.



by:

The running boards are just what I wanted. The issues that I had are that The installation instructions did not say that they would fit 2023 GMC, but they did. I was also missing one nut for the install that I had to purchase else ware. They are good boards, the company just needs to improve quality control.

Westin R5 Nerf Bars on 2017 Ford F-250 supercrew. Cab. First a special thanks to Karen F. In customer service, she was very helpful making sure I got what I was looking for she made sure they was the correct size for my pickup. It took me an hour and half to install them they look and perform great, I will use and recommend etrailer.com they have the best prices and quality products. Thank You all.



by:

These look amazing. They look close to stock and really enhance the overall appearance of my truck. Very sturdy with a nice wide foot tread. You also have the ability to slide these a couple inches forward and back to get them lined up with the cab exactly where you want them. Installation was easy. Took a little longer than it should have because it was only 6°F while I was installing them, so frequent breaks to thaw my fingers were necessary!



by:

Looks great, solid construction, and easy install.



by:

Super easy to install. The aluminum was a little thinner than what I was expecting and they hang a little lower that what I was hoping. They look great on the truck, super easy to install and seem to be pretty sturdy. So far worth 5he money.



by:

Overall happy with these. Very easy to install, sturdy, and happy I chose aluminum. Only knock I have is after one year the paint on the steel mounting brackets is not holding up. Will need to repaint these.



by:

Great company, shipped within 48 hrs with great communication letting me know where the order was right Up to delivery. Package arrived in great shape
And the Westin running boards installed easily in under 1-1/2 hrs. Perfect fit
Looks great. Only wish Westin supplied four brackets to give it a More symmetrical Look.



by:

Chose them because it looked like they were a little lower step than others and that is the case. Love the lower step height and it does not affect vehicle clearance (Ram 1500). Very nice looking solidly built nerf bars.



by:

The rails came in with no damage and fit perfectly



by:

They are good. No rust, dents etc. They fit a size 12 shoe will. No problem getting in. The bottom of mine are open. They are not a hollow tube. At this point one year later, I would buy again, but there is no need.



by:

Great product, made truck look better, very functional. Highly recommend to any Colorado owner.



by:

Great, looks good on my truck

by:

Great service from all at etrailer. Very nice product. Looks great. First running board took awhile to figure out the installation but second one went on easily and quickly.



by:

I like the running boards, I wish they were about 2 inches lower, I had a problem with not having enough Flat washers and had to get a locking nut as well because I could not get one of the nuts to thread onto the stud bolt, I ended up going to Lowes and buying these items. The online video help me out a lot so thanks for putting that out to view. I found a very small dent on the drivers side running board after I placed them on the truck. I would of gave 5 stars if it was not for the issues, I mentioned.



by:

The fit is great and install was fairly simple. We had seen Westin running boards on a truck while out shopping and we thought they looked great. We did a quick search online and placed our order. We’re very happy with our choice!



by:

One of the best online shopping experiences I've ever had! Natalie was very helpful getting it ordered, step boards were delivered in 2 days and were exactly what I wanted. Can't wait to shop etrailer again



by:

These came very quickly. They were easy to install. They look good and appear well built. I see no areas of concern and expect years of use without troubles.



by:

Awesome product!



by:

Great quality and service. Strong brackets and mounting!



by:

These running are great they not only look good they work good and are sturdy



by:

Product came fast. Stoutly packed. Impressive look and easy to install. All parts came and everything fit exactly. Great company and great product. Exceeded my expectations. Small price for a big look on my 2015 Canyon Crew cab.



by:

Everything you would hope they would be. One year later, look great, solid fit and sturdy.

  • Running Board Recommendation for 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500 Crew Cab
    In 2014 the Chevy 1500s changed enough that the tube step fits all changed as well. You'd need a set designed for your 2500 2011 model. I'd need to know what cab length you have.

  • Torque Values for Westin R5 Running Boards for 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Per the installation instructions I've linked for you, the M8 bolts that attach the brackets to the truck are torqued to 15-19 foot lbs and the M6 bolts that attach the step to the bracket are torqued to 5-7 foot lbs. Be aware that the nature of the hardware can change over time, so it's best to refer to step # 9 of the instructions for the kit you received to ensure the torque values are current for the provided hardware. If you click the provided link, you can see an installation video.

  • Weight Capacity of Westin R5 Nerf Bars on 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500
    I spoke with my contact at Westin regarding the Westin R5 Nerf Bars # 28-51030 (which are confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500) and he said that they do not actually list weight ratings for any of their nerf bars. This is because the limiting factor will be the mounting locations on the truck itself. He just recommends checking with a local Chevy dealer to see what the weight capacity is on the Silverado's rocker panels, which is where the nerf bar brackets will mount. This essentially...
