I just installed the N-Fab steps on my 07 DC last night and I'm not quite as thrilled with them as jliltd. First off when I got home and found they had been delivered the end off the box was missing and the steps were sticking out about two feet, one of the steps was dented at the very end and the finish was slightly marred, also the hardware kit was missing. Mounting was as described, I used the original bolts with no problem, but at the rear bracket on mine there was a 3/8" gap. I am just going to get longer bolts and put spacers between the brackets and cab, everything else lined up good. I do not believe that these steps will last me more than 4 or 5 years though. They are made of carbon steel and no matter how good the powder coat is it is going to chip from rocks coming off the tires. I thought about having them Line-X and am sure that would help a lot, but the other thing about these is there is no plug at the ends. The roads in Utah are salted in winter and this salt spray will definitely get into the bars and start corroding from the inside out. Even a new coating won't help that. Before I bought these I called N-Fab about making them from stainless steel, they said they don't/won't make them in stainless. They said get the standard product and it would last as long as I had my truck. I had my last Toyota truck 13 years and know these won't last that long. I like the looks of these and if they last 4 - 5 years I'll be satisfied.
