Removing the Step Bars - 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Long-Term Road Test
Our long-term 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel came with step bars, but they aren't ideal for off-road use, so we removed them.

but seriously, i actually do. i mean, about the truck...
Did the 3/8" bolts have a larger shank? Also, depending on wrench, socket and bolt brand, you should be able to use the same tool for both sizes. Maybe one of your bolt sizes was different from what you noted?
Now, if I needed steps, these full-length ones are nicely conceived. Full coverage makes it easy to get to a tie-down point in the front corner of the bed. But Ram's claims of a fuel economy benefit -- which I have heard from Ram PR staffers myself -- are hard to take seriously. I wonder how many decimal points it takes to measure the effects. 0.01 mpg? 0.001 mpg?
