| Ahh...power steps, haven't heard them called that before. Yeah, those are really nice....and expensive I've seen. I wouldn't mind having them on my truck, but i'm still young and don't mind jumping/falling in and out....  |

| Nice, but I could think about a lot more other things I would like to spend $1200 on first for the truck  . Mine came with the factory bars already, works for me. But its kind of nice that it retracks up & hidden.

| Yeah anything cool that retracts like that is awesome. I would only invest money in them if my truck was crazy tall and I didn't want the look of step bars hanging way down all the time........i'd love to have them now, but that's a bend over price... |

| A buddy has had them on a ford for about three years now and no problems, and with the doors closed they are inviseble. It's a nice touch on a new truck, but pricy. good luck with the new ride  |

They would only fit for one door each due to their design though. |

| Guys,
I also have a long bed crew cab and wish to find someone that sells what has been called "Wheel to Wheel" for this long bed. I see a lot of them advertised, but they are only for the short bed. Maybe I'm asking too much to actually have them fill the gap between the two axles. I just measured and from the rear of the front wheel well to the front of the rear well, I measure roughly 125". I say roughly because I was measuring by myself.
I emailed the Westin truck accessory company and a rep replied that they don't make anything for the long bed.
Any suggestions? I wish to have the SS tubular with three steps. I really don't have the $$$ for the moving steps as described in this thread.
Thanks
