bent brackets

[dns1764]

the other day i went offroading in my truck and i went a little too big. i ended up getting hung up on the running boards and bending the brackets big time. its a 97 f150. any clue on where to get them, or if it will be cheaper to get a set of dz bar type steps. thanks for any help. pics to come

Just dump them and build rock sliders out of tube metal.

Much stronger and you weld or bolt them to the frame and they wont EVER bend unless you really beat the pee out of them.
