Your tip about using the long bolts to hold the brackets saved me some time. I tried one on the steps and it was definitely too long for that part.

[@loganzachary8328]

Thank you for this video! I was about to buy it from Truck Id. Used the link to support you and it had free shipping can't beat that! Thanks again! I'll be watching again when they come in for the install!

[@johnferrill4300]

On your 2019 Silverado you featured the Raptor series running boards. I thought those were awesome until I found the Westin drop steps which you now have on your 2020. I've had my eye on those Westins for months. I finally pulled the trigger and got my Westin cab length steps today and they look freaking awesome on my 2019 Silverado RST. I couldn't justify spending $145 more on the wheel to wheel like yours. But I'm so happy with the Westins. Keep up the good work brother!

[@peelio1]

Thanks for putting this together. Saved me a lot of time and frustration.

[@gerryrick2255]

Thank you for the video! Definitely helped to see how the third step braces went together. Very good video.

[@TXH1138]

Thanks for showing the back of the tube. I thought it was a full 4 sided sealed tube. This can hold mud and water.

[@dubltap7216]

Those are nice but I went with Ionic 41 from Real Truck. I live on 14 miles of gravel road. I didn't need steps just a gravel guard. Love the ones I bought and they were on sale! I have a 2 post lift which comes in real handy.👍

[@joannaherber7964]

Great video! Thanks for making it. The written Westin instructions were wrong and missing important steps and details. Great job and thank you!!

[@TruckOwnership101]

It was a long one, but nobody made it yet soo... 😅 you’re very welcome!

[@patmcbride9853]

Thanks for passing on your experience, I pick mine up tomorrow.

[@bandidomxgarage7898]

Have you?

[@patmcbride9853]

@@bandidomxgarage7898 Yes. My back did not appreciate installing them, but I got them on and really appreciate them. I did have to learn to lead with my left foot, though.

[@yasseraloy4178]

Wait until they start to fade to gray !!!!

[@JCDropshot]

I am having a major issue trying to get the passenger side bed mount to work on my 2021. Driver side was a bear also but got that one done. I think I am missing a mount hole on the truck

[@brentcutlip5282]

Great job partner! I ordered these about an hour ago. Cant wait to get them on my Silverado.

[@yasseraloy4178]

These side steps fade to gray after almost two years. You should return them. I called the company and they didn’t help me whatsoever on how to solve it apparently they have no idea or they didn’t care

[@bobkrueger194]

How are they holding up? Is the color fading as others have said?

[@ImaLoneWolfintheWoods]

Can't wait to get mine on, I got the stainless steel ones though

[@shep68]

Super nice and super expensive. Regardless of what set you install, blue Loctite is highly recommended.

[@bohica9402]

Did you happen to film how to put that crazy rear bracket portion together?

[@TruckOwnership101]

Yup. It was indeed crazy lol. Makes for a nice step once it’s on there though. Very solid.

[@alanhefter4659]

Thank you for the video. I want to install them on a 2021 Sierra AT4. I assume they will fit if they fir your trail boss?

[@TruckOwnership101]

For sure it will. Our frames and rocker panels are exactly the same. RealTruck will ask for your specific info to make sure you get the correct model number.

[@alanhefter4659]

Now I just have to decide between yours and the HDX Extreme model?

[@thewanderlywagon7733]

Ordered nerf bars December 20th 2020 still have not been delivered March 3rd canceled order. Will not shop at Real Truck again, seems like a scam hopefully they will credit my AMEX soon.

[@TruckOwnership101]

They are a large and reputable company. They own teannocoversworld and runningboardwearhouse so they are more well known then some may know. Can’t speak on your issue, but with the pandemic their can be manufacturer delays as well. Every time I call RT a real person picks up, did they update you on the issue?

[@josess214]

Do these fit crew cab 2021 silverado?

[@TruckOwnership101]

I’d double check on RealTruck. But I’m 99% sure they do. No body changes form last year.

[@miguelzermeno2689]

We're u able verify?

[@RobinHood-yx9bs]

Brother how much was the change of wheels and tires

[@TruckOwnership101]

Robin Hood about $400 after trading in my 18” factory rims. I did this to my 2019 RST and made a video about it, but the Trail Boss tires sell for more to make the deal better. This video explains the deal I got on the 2019 RST. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXWtiKirn8eAn6c

[@RobinHood-yx9bs]

Truck Ownership: 101 I saw your videos on your 2019 truck and was a good deal , but like you I prefer the 20” in and the all season tires ,the look nicer and less sound too ,nice truck brother looking forward for more of your upgrades .

[@yasseraloy4178]

I hate to break it to you but wait until you spent at least two years with them. The black paint finish will start to fade to gray 😡. I called the company and they had no idea these was happening to their product

[@hustleman4880]

Any rust or other issues a year later?

[@TruckOwnership101]

Nope. Super happy with them.

[@N2Dragn]

I purchased and installed these on my 2021 Ram in November 2020 and by March 2021 they were rusting EVERYWHERE on the surface. 4 months is all they lasted. I love the look but do not recommend these nerf steps.

[@yasseraloy4178]

And my fade to gray almost white.

[@gustavosotelo4204]

Will these fit the 2020gmc sierra crew cab?

[@TruckOwnership101]

Yes. Either GM 1/2 ton crew cab.

[@gustavosotelo4204]

Thanks for the reply

[@gustavosotelo4204]

@@TruckOwnership101 after a couple days. my front step driver and passenger squeak while getting in and out. I’ve tightened the bolts what would that be? That’s my only complaint but other than that I love them.

[@TruckOwnership101]

@@gustavosotelo4204 I guess I’d try to track down where the sound is coming from exactly. The steps are welded on, and if your bolts are all tight then I’m running out of ideas. The plate that attaches to the step maybe?

[@gustavosotelo4204]

@@TruckOwnership101 All the bolts are tightened. I only hear the squeak when I get in and out on the front passenger and driver side. The back doors and the third step do not squeak

[@markusorth5450]

Can you tell me where these are made? I'm thinking China?

[@TruckOwnership101]

Probably. They brag on their site about designed, tested and engineered in California. Conveniently forgetting where to mention “made” lol. These steps are super high quality though.

[@markusorth5450]

@@TruckOwnership101 I can tell, and that's great. That furthest clamp looks like a PITA. I might save some money and time and just go tubular. 2020 Trail Boss.

[@TruckOwnership101]

@@markusorth5450 they do make a 2 step variant if you don’t want that Wheel2Wheel look with the extra step. That one doesn’t have the extra mounting point on the bed, But I think the extra step is handy.

[@yasseraloy4178]

The steps look super good until the black paint starts to fade to gray. It looks so bad now that I either have to paint them or throw them out. 😡

[@PandaV666]

[@kevinanderson8773]

Ngl that 3rd step makes these look super corny

[@jessicaa1985]

My opinion, they look awful they hang way to low looks hideous
