Steps vs side step bars

I've got full length bars and like them. One thing I do suggest... make sure that whatever you buy is securely attached to the truck.

I see so many "aftermarket" steps and step bars that are not safe to use because they were either installed incorrectly, or just poorly designed. If you have a choice, go with "frame mounted" steps... I don't see how bolting the step just to the body work will last with use.
