They are the wide fiberglass ones, I know most people don't care for them but I think they fit my truck well plus they alowed me to run a 22X12 and still lay frame. Years ago when I got them they came with a step (also fiberglass) but the step was just a smoothed regular size step so I pie cut it to fit then glassed in the hole. To mount the step I fiberglassed in bolts to it then drilled holes in the support from the bed. I also made new support rods from the frame since it was more flimsey than steel.
