OEM Subaru Step Rails

You can find factory step rails, also known as side steps, on some Subaru models. Less often, you might see them called running boards. The Subaru sports car community calls them nerf bars, a term derived from "nerfing," meaning rubbing or bumping another racer. Many names aside, they're a better stepping surface than a door sill for getting in and out of your Subaru. If you've got original step rails, you probably already know how they mount: mere inches from your door sill. Install yours even lower, and it gets even easier to enter your vehicle. This is especially helpful if you're driving a lifted Subaru SUV. Running boards, though, mount closer to, if not flush with, your rocker panels. That gives them better ground clearance than step rails. They're also generally wider than, for example, the side bar on a truck, not to mention flatter in profile overall and board-length when it comes to treads. The long story, short: running boards are the solidest, most dependable places to step. Planning a repair, replacement, or upgrade project? The best step rails for it are genuine Subaru.
