RuggedXL WSP001KIT Replacement Step Pad for 3" Round Nerf Bars - Set of 4

These inserts for the truck steps worked amazing. They only need to make thrm with a gradual nail. The fit was right on. The cost of these was affordable! We loved them.

Wasn't too sure about fit but the measurements looked correct. These do fit Westin E series 3 inch bars perfectly and do replace Westin part #23-0001 E-Series Step Bar Pad. They do only go on ONE DIRECTION so if it doesn't fit try turning it around.Installation1 Pry off old step pad with putty knife or pry bar2 Remove old clips. The way I did it was lift slightly with putty knife and use a very small nail set and drive it into the clip and pry it up. Twisting usually helps. If it is stuck then grab it with small vise grips.3 Insert new clips into step bar and then line up pad and tap into place with rubber mallet.I tried different ways on each pad and putting the clips in the bar was WAY EASIER and resulted in a tighter fit as opposed to putting them on the new pad first. I also tried starting in the center or at one end and it really didn't make a difference.These fit perfectly and are less than half the price of a Westin Pad which doesn't seem to last very long. These appear at least as sturdy as the factory ones.

Replaced the factory ones from my 2008 Dodge 1500. All but 1 went on pretty easy, with nearly exact fit as the original. Very tight fit, so if you force them on the inserts will bend or result in breaking off if you have no patience. I sprayed Simple Green to help slide them into place. Just one stubborn one didn’t seat fully. Will have to adjust later somehow.

They seem a little less robust than the Weston originals but look nice and were easy to install. Be sure to align all the holes and start tapping them in from one end.

I bought these to replace the Westin pads that had disintegrated on my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. Figured they couldn't be that different. I was wrong. These come with no instructions but the instructions and videos are easy enough to find on-line. I removed one of the Westin pads and followed instructions to install these: (remove old pad, remove old locking pins, install new locking pins, line up anchor posts with pins and whack with a mallet until inserted. Went fine except for that last part. I lined up all the pins and tapped them all partially in to make sure they were aligned. Began to tap them all in one at a time. First one buckled even though it was partially inserted into the locking pin. OK, it will be a little high. Nothing I can do about it. Second one was perfectly straight...until it buckled. Third one....buckled. Fourth one went in straight. Fifth one buckled. Looks awful. I examined the OE pad I removed and the posts on it were intact and rock stiff even after I removed the pad. The posts on these generic pads are more like flimsy bumper-cover material: very soft and way too flexible. I could easily bend one of these with my thumb. No way I could do that with the OE pad. So now I have one partially installed generic pad and since I installed one, probably cant return the set. I absolutely, positively do not recommend these. Spend a few dollars more and buy the OE pads.

Exact fit for my bars. Pretty easy to install. Very happy to have bought these instead of replacing the entire thing

The product did not fit due to snap pins not matching so it has to match on bar itself

Perfect fit and delivered early!
