You want these
First thoughts, these things are sturdy. Heavy duty tubing and the coating looks thick and durable. The style is nice and fits what I wanted.The directions are detailed among the easiest I've ever had to follow.I was concerned not knowing if these were frame mounted or body, I've seen some body mounts that were so rickety I'd worry I was going to damage the vehicle. While it turns out these ARE body mounted, I'm thoroughly impressed with how solid they are. They don't move a bit when you step on or even pull up on them. Every bolt and bracket lined up perfect. I wish I had gotten them sooner.Edit: I forgot to mention, the packaging was outstanding. Both bars were individually wrapped very well and the whole kit was custom padded with styrofoam. I appreciate the care that went into producing, packaging, and delivering this excellent product.

Quality, aesthetically pleasing, good price point.
Solid construction, super sturdy, perfect fit. Looks great in my 2020 RAM 2500 Mega Cab Big Horn and significantly cheaper than OEM running boards. As with anything, installation would have been easier with a second person. Nevertheless, I did it myself and it took about 2.5 hours. All parts were included and the instructions are pretty straight fwd.

Very high quality product!!
Ok I don’t write many reviews however this product needs one. First of all the packaging is superior to any being shipped now days especially vehicle parts.... the poor UPS man had a heck of time getting it to the door. Second is these are so well made that you could market to the military. The finish is awesome. Easy install as I had a friend help. I sold 2 sets just on my way home from a buddies house. One to my friend and one to a guy at the gas station. Send me my commission please. Lol In a nutshell these are noooo joke!!! However they are made in China... Boooooo!!!

Great the second time.
Ok so this is the second set I ordered. The first set came smashed so I returned them. After some time I decided to give them another try and I’m glad I did. Second set showed up in 99% perfect shape. I ordered Mega Cab steps for my Crew Cab which gave me a nice bed step and yes they fit with no problems. They are very sturdy but I wish they were made with thicker material. The main reason I wanted steps was to protect the sides from door dings and shopping carts and these will do the trick. All in all I’m happy with them and I gave them low stars for quality control and packing for shipping. I would buy again.

A good upgrade with functionality and looks
Ordered these for my Ram Mega Cab. Fit is great, and they look great on the truck. The steps arrived very well packed, everything was well padded with bubble wrap and Styrofoam blocks. Steps come with brackets for mounting to trucks both with and without threaded inserts. Mine truck didn't have inserts, so I wound up with plenty of leftover hardware.As others have said, the directions are very clear, and there are photos and diagrams for the various steps that people might have difficulty with. I didn't have any problems, although I did goof on installing the center position backing plates. It's hard to explain, but on the inside of the rocker panel, there's a structural bend in the metal. Makes it difficult to get the backing plate in. I originally tried holding on to the welded stud and using that to maneuver the backing plate in. Easy to insert the 'nut' end, but impossible to then get the stud end in. I wound up using a hack saw to cut about 1/8" off the stud. Still didn't fit. Then I realized that if I started with the stud end, I could easily maneuver it in and get everything to work. Long story short, I did the opposite of what the instructions said, but eventually figured it out.I installed these at night, mainly because I wanted to get them done (my kids have been complaining about how hard it is to get in/out of the truck). Installation was straightforward, and I was able to do it myself, again, at night, with just a work light for illumination. Don't get me wrong, the steps are heavy, and it was a bit of a push to get them up on my own, but I lifted one end, hung it on the mounting bolt, then got the other end in place. Not too bad, but I'm sure it would be easier with a friend.Took my first drive with them the next day, freeway speeds. The wind was blowing pretty hard, so that may have been a factor, but there's a fair amount of wind noise I noticed. Full disclosure, I also installed a TracRac rack on the bed. I didn't notice any wind noise after the rack install, but that was a calm day. So- I'm not sure if the excess noise today was due to the steps or the 20 mph crosswind, or a combination of both. I'll have to do more testing and see what happens.Other than the noise, there's only one other concern with the steps: the gap between the two top tubes. There are step plates for your feet, and while they're positioned well in relation to the doors, it might, under certain circumstances, be possible to put a foot down where there is no step plate.That brings me to changes I would make:1) These are cab length steps, and they fit perfectly on my Mega Cab. That being said, I wish they were bed length- it'd be nice if they were 18 inches longer or so, to make it possible to step on them to access things in the bed. I may have them cut and some extra length welded on for that purpose.2) It'd be nice if the step plates were longer. I may get some expanded metal and rivet/weld that on top of the bars to make sure feet don't slip between the bars.3) They look great, and really match the lines of the truck, but there's a significant gap between the bottom of the rocker panel and the top of the step- at least 1.5 inches, maybe more. It's completely an aesthetic thing, but it might be nice to have a piece of trim to help conceal that gap, to help the steps blend more in to the truck body.I know those are a few minor gripes, and they in no way take away from the quality, value and functionality of these steps. I'm happy I bought them, and I'm still going to give them 5 stars, but there are a couple of small changes I would make.

These guys are Legit
I don't write reviews very often. Tyger deserves it on this one though.(1) They must have shipped my boards about 30 seconds after I ordered because they arrived 2 days early.(2) I've never in all my days seen a product packed as well as these. Who ever is in charge of boxing and wrapping at Tyger should get a dang trophy and a big raise.(3) 99 times out of 100 the hardware (nuts and bolts) you get is cheap crap and you end up buying your own. These guys are using all grade 8 nuts and bolts!(4) The fit and finish is superb. The welds are sexy. The textured coating is thick. The design is very strong and it doesn't flex a bit when you stand on them.The bottom line - I got a lot more than I expected for my money. Thanks Tyger!

Awesome product
Awesome product for the price, I installed alone so it was a bit difficult and took a lot longer than most people has described, and there was old hardware in spots I needed from a previous install(?) But after it's all said and done these are SUPER STURDY, Badass looking, and I love them. Totally worth every penny.
