Construction & Design:

Constructed from high-grade, corrosion-resistant steel, the Westin R5 M-Series Nerf Step Bars are built to withstand harsh environments and daily use. The black powder-coated finish not only enhances durability but also provides a sleek, aggressive look that complements the rugged styling of Dodge Ram and Ram trucks. The modular design allows for easy shipping and installation, while the injection-molded polymer step pads deliver superior grip and comfort underfoot.

Westin’s exclusive isolator bracket is a standout engineering feature that supports the portion of the step bar extending beyond the cab, a critical area often left unsupported by competitors. This innovation eliminates annoying creaking noises and ensures the step bar remains solid and secure over time.

This preserves the structural integrity of your truck while providing a secure fit.
