ZR5 Nerfs on a 4 Door

CrowleyInCo · 08-19-2009, 05:50 PM

Found a pretty good deal on a clean set of nerf bars. They are off of an '04 ZR5 Crew Cab. I have a '99 4 Door 4x4.

Not really 100% sure if they'll bolt up without a lot of mods, or if I'll need to make brackets, etc.

Anyone done this / tried this / have ideas?
They're a ways away from where I live, figured I'd ask here before I drove all the way out to look at them,

Thanks

If you're in Michigan, I have a set of 4 door nerf bars for sale I had on my 98 Jimmy for about 6 months. I think the crew cab nerf bars might be longer since the rear doors are a bit longer than those on a Blazer plus the little bit of bed before the rear wheel.

Are your nerf bars black, chrome or SS?

Zeeke98 · 08-21-2009, 06:41 PM

Black.

The crew cab bars are indeed longer, by about 6 inches.
And I'm not exactly in driving distance from Michigan, or I'd take you up on those bars.

Just FYI I measured the bars last night and they are 62.5" long.

Just for my own personal knowledge, where at do they bolt to? Frame? Panel?

Haven't seen any for a 4 door yet, so I'm curious.

My set bolts to the rear leaf spring bolt in back and then you have self drilling bolts that drill into a body brace in the front. They're useless if you have a body lift.

Why are they useless if you have a body lift? I had a set of nerf bars on my '96 2 door Jimmy and it had a 2" body lift. Kinda covered up the frame a bit.

And how much do you want for them?

Zeeke98 · 08-24-2009, 03:47 PM

They're useless because of they way they mount. They mount to the leaf spring on the back and the body on the front. If you have a body lift they're too short to mount down where they should so you'd need to get a piece of metal to extend the front mount down. I'm asking $50 for them.

Sammytheorangutan · 08-24-2009, 11:28 PM

Ah. The ones I had for my '96 mounted to the frame on the front.
