NAME BRAND
We’ve been supplying tubes directly to the OEM’s like GM and Toyota for 20 years, and are now bringing that same quality with the latest in modern styling direct to you at aftermarket prices.
Patented OCTAGON profile compliments the styling of today's hard edged trucks and SUV's, and is a look that no-one else can offer. Finish – for an even brighter shine than polished stainless steel, that will never become dull, or yellow like stainless steel will. 2.5mm thick MILITARY GRADE ALUMINUM TUBES, with either chrome or black powdercoat finish will NEVER RUST, PIT, PEEL, FLAKE OR DULL. The ultimate in long lasting great looks. Extreme corrosion resistance and backed by our LIFETIME WARRANTY. Our black powder coated tubes are coated with a two-stage e-coat then powder coat process, the same as required by the OEM's. Our BLACK TUBES are also backed by our LIFETIME WARRANTY, unlike the competition. Our tubes include OEM STYLE plastic BRACKET COVERS. These covers improve the appearance by making the bracket look big and beefy but also, they protect the bracket from unsightly stone chips and rust that is visible on all other aftermarket tubes without bracket covers. ULTIMATE GROUND CLEARANCE BRACKETS, with the brackets not extending below the tube, unlike the competition. Aggressive step pad tread design, is molded from the same UV weathering, impact resistant grade of resin used by the OEM's unlike most aftermarket companies that use a brittle and poor weathering grade of resin. All mounting hardware is coated with the same OEM coatings used to pass 1000hrs salt spray testing and are far superior than the zinc or galvanized hardware used by others.

Review shared from GEM Tubes Octa Series Nerf Side Step Bars; Textured Black (09-18 RAM 1500 Regular Cab)
Hope you like rivnuts...
Overall, I do love the look and function of these step bars. But the install cost a star easily. First, rivnuts suck if you don't have the expensive tool. GEM supplied a bolt/spinning nut combo to install them, but what a freakin' PITA. They fit 3 out of 4 of the hex-holes perfectly, but will still spin on you as you throw your weight on the driver getting the rivnut to expand correctly all while trying to hold a crescent wrench on the spinning nut to hold the rivnut flush in the hole. I felt like a juggling clown under the truck. I ended up using a small C-clamp to hold the wrench in place as I didn't have enough leverage to hole the rivnut in place and torque down on the socket driver at the same time. And forget power tools - no room for my impact driver. Spend the money and let a body shop do it unless you love aggravation. Second, the front driver-side hole for the rivnut was way too big for it. Had to reuse an old bolt/bar for the bracket. How did that get overlooked? Did I mention I hate rivnuts? Lastly, the instructions tell you to mount the T-nuts on the brackets so they fit into the step bar once placed. BS! They fall through the holes when trying to set them in place. Some engineer wanted to piss off customers with this stupidity. Solution, have someone hold the bar on the brackets while poking the T-nuts through the back of the bracket up into the step bar. That worked perfectly even though it involved upsetting the wife's world for a couple minutes. At least the payoff of easily getting into the truck was there. ;) Overall, great looking and very functional. Installation on my 2017 RAM 1500 Sport did pose a couple challenges but you can get through them with a little help and 4-lettered words. Youtube "rivnuts" to understand how to use their supplied tools. Good luck!!

Looks great, installs easy.
The headline says it all. Able to install them in about an hour and a half. If you have a lift much less time.
