Are the Bars from the Westin R7 # 28-71225 and # 28-71275 the Same?

Question:

I ordered these bars for my 2021 Ram 1500 crew cab and now and considering switching them out on to a 2021 Silverado 2500 crew cab. Are the bars for each kit the same? With the only difference being the mounting hardware fit kit?

I have an answer for you. I did some research on both the Westin R7 Nerf Bars for the 2021 Ram 1500 (part # 28-71225) and for the 2021 Chevy SIlverado 2500 (part # 28-71275). Unfortunately, as is the case with most nerf bars, the mounting hardware is year/make/model specific, and the mounting hardware that comes with both of these trucks are very different. With that being said, the nerf bars are not the same because the mounting locations for both vehicles are in a different location. However, you may be able to drill new holes in order to accommodate the bars to fit onto your 2021 Silverado 2500 crew cab.

Fortunately, we do carry the mounting hardware for the Westin R7 # 28-71275. For this kit, you will need part # 28-7127PK.
