    Hi

    anyone running the 2 or 3inch nfab step bar? If so will the 2inch be good if lifted 2.7inch or will the 3inch be better? Trying to decide on which size to get. Not sure if the 3inch will be to bulky looking

    thanks for your help

    I have the 2” N-Fab steps since new. No issues. I think they look nice and are a happy medium between sliders and running boards.

    I’ve been trying to research this as well. The 2” vs 3” refers to the dia. of the main tube that runs parallel to the rocker panel. The size of the steps is the same on both sizes?I have read a few time that the 2” size leaves a small gap (maybe 3/4”) between the top of the rail and bottom of rocker. People have mentioned it in some reviews, I’m wondering if it’s really that noticeable?

    If you look at the above pics you'll see the gap you are referring to. I'm too lazy to post a pic, but mine also has the 2" diameter. The gap isn't huge.

    Thanks guys! Nfab told me the 3inch fits more tighter to the body and it’s personal preference and both have the same clearance. They actually both look good and I decided to go with the 3inch
