Ionic uses top quality 304L stainless steel and it is polished to a mirror-like finish that almost looks like chrome. It is actually superior to a chrome plated finish, because chrome can chip and flake off over time. This stainless alloy and finish will look fantastic on your truck for years and years! Don't settle for the cheaper stainless alloys out there, like 200 grade stainless, which is barely stainless, and will easily pit. These bars are stainless all the way through.

Ionic also uses RECESSED step pads (not cut out) that prevent slipping in almost any weather. The recess also means the integrity (strength) of the nerf bar isn't compromised. Speaking of strength, these exceptional bars will support up to 300 lbs before flexing and 350 lbs before bending. Another brilliant benefit of the Ionic nerf bars is the simple, 30 minute, NO DRILL installation! They install with simple hand tools, so there is no need to bring them to a shop for professional installation, YOU become the professional! The black powder coated brackets are specifically designed for each vehicle so that they bolt center onto factory holes.

We truly believe that you will not find a better product at this low price! That is why it is consistently a top seller, and one that looks great on any truck.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The price for all Ionic nerf bars are for a pair (2).

Regular cab trucks have a single step pad on each bar, while most others have two step pads per bar.

The STYLE of the nerf bars will vary depending on your truck/SUV.
Some vehicles get nerf bars that have a 90 degree bend on both ends.

Some vehicles get bars that are bent to 45 degrees on both ends.

Some vehicles get bars that are bent to 90 degrees on one end and are straight at the rear.

Please call us if you have a question about what style your vehicle will receive. We are happy to help!
