That is a mirror finished stainless steel this is a grade 304. These should be very descent, weight limit may be an issue as there are step cut out, but that is depending on what you expect them to hold. Says its a bolt on diy job and for 239.83 thats not bad.
Looks like the steps arent cut out that low so should be somewhat rigid.
Looks like a pretty good deal to me. When I was looking to purchase (before making my own) I was in the $300 + ballpark for stainless.
I just put them on last week.
Installation was easy bolt on, took only about 45 min, with 30 min spent on the first one (trying to figure out how to get into the frame channel to get the front bolt going). The cutout does not affect the strength of them, or at least not enough to be noticed. After the install i stepped on them and and jumped a bit to make sure they were fine and they held me up just fine (275 lbs.). I got them at truck expressions too. Took about three weeks to get to my house as they were apparently on back order, put other than that i'm very happy with my Bully's.

]You arent going to know if it is effected until you have some real weight on them like 500 lbs or so. Then you will find out how they do.

This is exactly what you need to be concerned with, I am sure they look pretty nice too.
Never heard of them. They are talking about 304 mirror finished stainless steel. Unless their welds are crappy or if you will have to drill your frame then they may just be able to be cheaper, who knows.
I have not heard good or bad about them outside T/S
You don't have to drill your frame.
The bars come with plates/brackets that attach to the frame using existing holes.
Quality appears to be fine and i don't notice a difference to the Westin's my buddy has on his Silverado, but then again what do i know as i didn't subject them to the 500 lbs that appears to be the industry standard

I wouldn't say industry standard, but they used to build nerf bars that didn't have steps and were a lot stronger than the ones out now.
Most of the bars that I looked at had weight limits of 350 - 450 lbs. Hell man, I know guys that weigh more than that bar can hold per the manufacturer.
Only point was 500 is a pretty good measure for weight, you could actually use a hi-lift jack on one that can hold more than 500lbs.
Most built today are for show and to be used as an assist to get into and out of a vehicle. If they suit your need the right on.
Anyone use Bully nerf bars?
