    Here you go. Icon coils in the front. Probably close to 4 inches in the front. 2 inch in the rear. B8F546CC-F277-4D56-8822-353C1F87784A.jpg

    Are the mounts on these the double sided like channeled like the factory ones or single sided like most aftermarket ones? My 2015 came with raptor brand ones with the single side brackets and they seem flimsy to me.

    I have the same bars as the OP and can’t stand how they look and probably removing them in about 30 minutes when I get home ! How long did it take you to remove them 30 minutes? Is it 4 bolts on each side ?

    OFF, sort of!
    Replace them with a set of AMP Research retractable running boards. I have a bad back and will soon be having a hip replacement and these drop down lower than original and retract when the doors close. Also a 5 year warranty. Not cheap, but we'll worth it for me. JK

    I have the Tyger steps on mine too and love them. I think they were about $250 on Amazon and easy to install. It's been 8 months and no issues.

    I may be old school but I like the nerf bar look. I have the bars with three steps that hang down and for me they detract from the look of my Tundra. The powder coating is flaking so they are coming off and getting replaced by tube style nerf bars.

    I’d say off until u can put the retractable ones. That’s my plan with mine. I hate how those bulky ones look.

    This was my double cab

    Then upgraded to this bad girl and still had them off. Just looks better without

    On.! If you don't like factory ones, go after market. I like my tube factory ones. But no matter they can save your truck. Had a 96 Chevy back in the day. Had a deer come off the bank out of the woods, I served he got low trying to get away slid into the side of my truck. Hit running boards slid down the boards bent the running boards but saved the door. Ever since we'll always have running boards of tubes on the side

    Personal opinion but these are hideous. I hate the ones that have the hang down steps like this. For a few reasons other then just looks. Those TYGER ones are not to bad looking at all and great price
