Ratings & Reviews
Very nice steps.
Easy to install only needed help to I hold up one end to get a bolt started then I was on my own again.
Best addition I’ve made to the big Bronco so far. Ease of install to ease of use and dependability all get fives stars!
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
Perfect fit !
Product quality is excellent. Look great on the truck and the steps drop down low enough for easy access. The directions are horrible, and I had to call tech support. The markings stamped on the brackets may not be correct, (mine were not), resulting in installing and removing and installing again. The written instructions and pictures were poor at best even if marked parts were correct. Measuring running board bracket mounting spots and installing brackets to fit should result in correct installation. The stamped PC, PF, PR mean nothing and should be ignored.
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.
fast shipping
Ordered these in spring of 2021. By fall they were already starting to rust on the treads. By the next spring (1 year after install) there was significant rust on the treads, espousing the drivers as it got the most action. I’m now at a little over two years and all the treads are rusted as well as significant rusting on the corners and edges. These do not hold up well at all.
Many other reviewers mentioned this early rusting as well. One response from etrailer mentioned contacting customer service as these would be under warranty. I contacted customer service today and was told rust is not covered.
Excellent product , easy installation with instructions provided. Separate the left and right side parts , start with driver side which is shown in the instruction photos, then the passenger side will be easy. The product is sturdy when assembled and provides a good height to step into and out of the vehicle.
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.
Received within the projected delivery timeframe. Everything was packaged very well. Installation went extremely smooth with no problems. The steps look very nice on my truck! My only disappointment is that they were made in China, not the US.
Drop step nerf bars look great on the truck and make it easier for my girlfriend to get in the truck. Thanks
The website all the way to placing the order is super user friendly. The product is second to none!! I love how the nurf bars are custom fit for my truck. The install was seamless and they look amazing!! etrailer has a new customer. They will be the very first place I check in the future.
We were short a rivet nut and had to go buy one locally
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.
Just installed these last night and snapped a mount bolt using a 3/8" drive ratchet. I was much more careful when tightening the remaining bolts but the hardware is definitely sub-par. Installation was easy, the bars look good and are solid however I imagine they will require paint every couple of years to control rust. For the price I believe there are better options out there.
So I just installed these last night on my truck and it was very easy just time and patience is all that is needed. looks like allot but easy in the end and I think they look great and is the look I was looking for on my truck. I don't see daylight between the truck and nerf bars so it looks like part of the truck more. Packaging and delivery were awesome, no complaints and no missing parts. So, again thank you etrailer.

One year later these nerf bars are just what I wanted in the look on my truck. To make sure they will hold up to the Northeast winters with all the salt we use I keep them wet on the inside and all brackets with Krown undercoating to make sure all the salt doesnt make them rust. So, far so good .

Great product!
Instructions aren't real great because they are for more than one vehicle but you can figure them out. They look great on my 2026 Ram 2500!
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.
These Westin HDX Nerf Bars with Drop Steps mounted perfectly on my 2026 Ram 3500 dually with the automatic air leveling system installed from the factory. No interference whatsoever with the air tank mounted underneath the truck on the passenger side and does not interfere with the Torklift Talon camper mounting brackets. They look great and feel very sturdy with plenty of foot room on the step.
