Question:
Hello I have a 2004 Silverado HD Extended cab 4x4. I am trying to find a step nerf bar system that mounts to the frame. Not the body or the rocker panels. Do you sell a reliable system like the one I described? If so please list it for me. Thanks

Hey Ralph! If your 2004 Chevy Silverado HD Extended cab is a 2500 model then I have a set that attaches to the body mounts that are welded to your frame. It is the Westin E-Series Round Nerf Bars item # 23-1685. I have attached the instructions below so you can see exactly how they install.
If your truck is the 3500 HD you'll want to use the Aries Oval Nerf Bars item # AAS224009. They also attach to the body mounts and have additional supports that attach to the frame. These will also work with the 2500 HD's.
