Luverne Nerf Bars Installed--Great Product!!

[Max Wedge]

Got them installed, what a piece of cake. Took myself and my nephew less than 20 minutes to install--BOTH SIDES. There is NO DRILLING as they use the cab mounts and they use these special tee-bolts that slide in holes already in the body supports for addition support. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking. The only tools you will need are a:

19mm 1/2 drive socket
6" 1/2 drive extension
1/2 drive ratchet--and torque wrench--they reccomend 45 ft. lbs.
9/16 combo wrench

Thats it. They look great and line up perfectly. I paid $281 for the QC SST at American Truck Equipment in Cleveland OH--they shipped them to me. #ad

I have a set on my truck. I agree, they're a great product and easy to install. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Ditto on the endorsement. Still just as purdy as when I put 'em on a year ago.

Does American Truck Equipment have a web site? If not how bout a phone number. This deal sounds to good to pass up.
I assume that the SST mean stainless steel?

Yes SST means Stainless Steel--they also have them in black powder coat.

Semi,

I understand about the leash!

Hey, are these bars nice and tight (up close) to the body? I hate it when I see a large gap - no point in giving away valuable ground clearance.

When you stand (and bounce) on them, do they bend a little or no?

 

[work2muchplay2little]

Scooby,

try this link for a picture, looks just like my truck except for the brush guard. http://www.luvernetruck.com/Product_Line/Nerf_Bars/Dodge_Nerf/dodge_nerf.html

Can bounce on the bars, truck rocks, don't feel any bending. Still very happy with mine. If they had had one that went back to the rear wheel well opening, would have gotten that. #ad

I got a set on my truck. They are about 1/2 inch down from edge of body and they don't move at all.

 

[Max Wedge]

Scooby--They fit so tight against the lip on the lower body, that the plastic that came wrapped around the bars got stuck. They don not touch the body though. I weigh 260 lbs and I jumped up and down on them and the suspension on the 1-ton was rocking, but the bars did not move at all! Its all in thier extra support mounting system--it is very slick.

Hope this helps.

How far do they stick out away from the truck? Alot of the bars come out too far leaving a huge gap between the rocker and bar. Looks terrible!

 

[Scooby]

Kurt and Semi,

Thanks for the info - that's exactly what I wanted to know... .

 

[Jeff H]

Don't see a order # for a reg cab truck. Do they have em for the reg cab truck?

 

[JGblkLand]

I got mine from my dealer for my reg. cab truck. They fit nice and close to the cab, don't leave a big space.

Anyone know how the Laverne bars compare to the Westin bars. I think the Westins stick out from the truck too far! Are the Lavernes any better?

Thanks

 

[work2muchplay2little]

Challenger,
my Luverne bars are just inside the outside edge of the stock tire and DC mudflap. Can't see 'em looking straight down the side from the front. Really like them, wish Luverne made a brush guard I liked, would buy it in a second.

Ok Semi-Automatic,

I just placed my order with Mark. I actually called Luverne and they weren't exactly on the ball in terms of being able to locate a local distributor. So I called Mark and he offered a good price (I got the black powdercoated ones). I'm looking forward to it. #ad

You will NOT be sorry. I have had a lot of guys look at the bars and ask where did I get them? They have never seen any of them attatch like that. Truck sets in an Advance Parts Store Lot across frm you office. The manager told me yesturday that a fellow came into his store and wanted to buy a set just like the ones on the Black Dually that sets outside! They can't get them! #ad
