The Westin nerf bars are already rusting. This is not what I expected at all. The bad part is that I talked my brother into buying all of his equipment from etrailer also.

Thank you for your review. These bars do have a 3-year warranty. I have informed customer service to contact you.

2018 Ram 1500
As recommended in another review, the night I received the bars I opened the packages, matched up all the parts (brackets, bolts, washers, etc.) and made several piles for the mounting project. The Westin instructions are not easy to follow, referencing back and forth to various pictures and figures. Fortunately I watched an install video on their website for a similar set of bars on a similar vehicle to get a better idea of what the instructions were trying to say - like what is a rivcert and how does it work.
The actual mounting of the brackets went fairly smoothly until I went to hang the first bar and discovered I had swapped the rear bracket between driver and passenger side. The instructions showed a difference between the front, mid and rear brackets, but not that there was also a distinct left/right to the rear ones. Once that was solved, installing the second bar went quickly.
Overall the product looks great on my Ram 1500 and seems pretty sturdy. My wife and kids like the nice wide steps to get up and into the truck.

Review from a similar Westin HDX Nerf Bar in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
I'm 6'4" tall, but still could not easily get in or out of this stock Ram 2500. These solved the problem completely. I chose them for the different look, and the complete wheel to wheel protection. I also weigh 250 pounds, and these feel very sturdy.
I can think of very few cons, but one would be the decreased ability to hand wash/wax the bottom of your body panels after these are installed, and the other would be the obvious reduction of ground clearance.
Overall, I'm very satisfied.

Bob and the team at e-trailer were 5 star. The ease of the transaction, shipping pricing to Hawaii and the Lightning fast delivery. Nerf bars are installed and look amazing.
Comments
The bars and the finish still look “like new” and always get compliments. The only hang up is that the bars prevent shops from using their side lifts to rotate tires when you’re doing an oil change. No worries tho, I’ll rotate the tires on my own.

Review from a similar Westin HDX Nerf Bar in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
Installed the steps today. So happy I got this step, ample room for your foot on a nonslip surface. Just the right amount of drop. They look great. Installed on 2021 Toyota Tundra Double Cab
I am glad I got the stainless steel steps, as the powder coat flaked in a couple places while installing bolts.
As others have said, the instructions are terrible. Attach the brackets to the step first, with the bolts just finger tight. Then hang the step on the truck with the bolts finger tight. Cycle through the bolts a few times tightening incrementally, then torque them.

I have a Jeep Wrangler and the Weston HEX step bar works great. I was hard for my wife to get in my old truck, but this step bar makes it easy for her in our new Jeep. It also has a non slip strip made out of steel not a glued on one, perfect!
Thanks

Finish lasted about 2 months before having to get the Rino lined. Started rusting pretty bad. For that kind of money the finish should of lasted at least a couple years.

Review from a similar Westin HDX Nerf Bar in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
The instructions are not all that great. Pictures help. But it would be best to have the picture showing the driver's side have a note that says the view is from under the truck. Also, the steps themselves were miss marked for which side went where. A clearer mark on the package would help. It looked like 77D or 77P.
Installation was good once I figured out which way I needed to look at the brackets to install them.

Review from a similar Westin HDX Nerf Bar in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
Bought these for my 2018 Tacoma - needed a little step up and help with protection of the rocker panel - as well as dealing with the frustration of mud & dust always coating inside door. These solved all 3 nicely. They are sturdy, well built, and very easy to install.
At least on my truck - only had to find pre-drilled holes and insert brackets. Found it easier to install bars attached to brackets then try to get bar on brackets after they were installed on truck.
Great price - cheaper than anywhere else - and free shipping!!

Review from a similar Westin HDX Nerf Bar in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
The bars are exactly what I wanted and mount well.
My one gripe is that the powder coat was covering the threads at the mount point of the bars. After spending an hour trying to follow the instructions I had to disassemble the system to clean out the threads. After that it went in as written.

The mounting hardware of another manufacturer like the Replacement Mounting Hardware Kit for Westin HDX Nerf Bars # 56-1394PK (these mounting brackets also do not fit your truck they are for Fords) is not going to work with your KYX bars without fabrication.
