    Seeing all the pics in here of the 3", i am 100% glad i went with the 2". To me the 2" is perfect and doesnt look so bulky.

    Plus if you go with a Avid light bar and Rear Bumper Guard like i just added this week, they match the 2" almost perfectly! (they are 1 3/4")

    I have 3 inch (step bars) :). I think they look better as they fill in the area between the bar and the rocker.

    Anyone have a pic of a DCLB with DCSB tube steps installed? I went to 4 Wheel Parts today and they told be N-Fab doesn't make wheel-to-wheel 2 inch steps for the DCLB, only 3 inch. So if I wanted 2 inch I could only go cab length.

    I installed the 3" W2W textured N-Fabs on my 2006 DCSB pre-runner yesterday. Since the truck is nearly 11 years old, and has been subjected to that many winters, there was 'some' corrosion in the rearmost threaded inserts. I suspected it to be worse, as the plastic inserts came out very easily. I was able to clean those up with a tap.
