    Hoping to determine (before any potential Black Friday deals are missed) which 3-step or wheel-to-wheel side steps/nerf bars people like/love for a Crewmax (5.5' bed)? I just want a little extra reach into the front end of the truck bed. I like the idea of one solid step wheel-to-wheel, but would also consider the 3-step look if need be. GoRhino RB20's work for this at all? I do like that look.

    Thanks for any help/photos!

    I've got the RB20s on my CM, just love em. (Sorry no pix, will get some later). However, I also have a topper so don't use them to reach into something at the front of the bed. But I can see how it could be useful there. My 91 year old mother can get in my truck without the extra drop-down steps but it's nice to be able to add them if she ever did need them. And nice to be able to take off if going off road.

    When I was shopping for bars/boards for my 2010, I really liked the looks of the 3 step Rhino-type bars. When I started comparing though, the regular WTW nerfs won-out. Just happened to see a Lady, who was not short but "Fun Sized" as my Wife would say (she's 4' 10"):D, attempt to exit a truck that had the stirrup type steps. Thankfully, she didn't hurt herself. Seeing the shoes some of our Ladies wear though, that flat surface of nerf bars or boards, just makes more sense for our use.
