Lund 23053782 Nerf Bars 500 lb 3 in Black Steel Pair

Vehicle Fitment and Purpose

These Lund 23053782 nerf bars are built for 2009 to 2020 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks, including the 2019 Ram 1500 Classic and 2010 Dodge Ram models. The pair adds a 54 inch round steel step with a slip resistant plastic tread, rated to hold 500 lb per side. They suit owners who want a sturdy, bolt on entry aid for lifted cabs without modifying the factory rocker panels.

Installation Practicalities

Mounting uses supplied brackets and bolts, but drilling is required to secure the brackets to the frame. The bars weigh 41 lb for the pair, so two people make alignment easier. Black powder coated steel resists corrosion, while the three inch diameter tube keeps the step close to the body for a clean look and minimal ground clearance loss.

Upgrade Context

These bars replace factory running boards that have cracked, bent or lost grip, and they add a step where none existed on base trim trucks. The jump is worth it when the original equipment is missing or damaged beyond repair, or when a wider, more aggressive tread is preferred for work boots and muddy conditions. Buyers needing a no drill solution or a powered retractable step should look elsewhere.
