Features
- 5" Oval Tube: Westin builds the Pro-Traxx 5 around a 5" oval tube, a profile that sits close to the rocker panel while still giving a full-width place to put your foot. The bars also help protect the rocker panels from damage.
- Molded Step Pads: Each step gets an injection-molded polymer pad. Westin describes it as a heavy-duty pad that gives a wider, more secure step area; on the cab-length bars the pads are 4" wide.
- Domed Ends, Factory-Style Bends: Both ends turn in with a 30-degree factory-style bend and finish in a fully welded, seamless domed end, so there are no end caps to lose and no exposed bolt heads.
- Two Finishes: Most Pro-Traxx 5 fitments come in polished stainless steel or in steel with a black powder coat. The finish is chosen at checkout on each listing.
- Cab Length or Wheel to Wheel: Cab-length bars cover the cab doors and suit every bed length on that cab. Wheel-to-wheel bars are cut for a specific bed length, run to the rear wheel and add a third step for reaching into the bed.
- Bolt-On Mount Kit: A vehicle-specific mount kit is included. Installation is bolt-on with no drilling required on most applications, and wheel-to-wheel bars include molded bracket covers on most applications.
Description & Fitment
For the 2009-2027 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 Crew Cab, Westin bends a pair of 5" oval Pro-Traxx 5 bars to run along the cab under the door openings. The bars span the cab only, which keeps them clear of the bed and the rear wheel opening. Choose the finish at checkout: Polished Stainless or Black powder coat over steel. Westin's injection-molded step pads are 4" wide, and the vehicle-specific mount kit bolts on with no drilling on most applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will 21-53560 fit a 2024 Ram 3500 Crew Cab?
Yes. Westin lists the 2011-2027 Ram 3500 Crew Cab for this part.
What is the difference between cab length and wheel to wheel?
Cab-length bars cover the cab doors and end at the back of the cab, so one part fits every bed length for that cab. Wheel-to-wheel bars run back to the rear wheel, are cut for one bed length and add a third step for reaching into the bed.
What does the 5 in Pro-Traxx 5 mean?
It is the tube size: Pro-Traxx 5 bars use a 5" oval tube. Westin also makes Pro-Traxx 4 and Pro-Traxx 6.
Do I have to drill my truck?
Westin lists the installation as bolt-on with the mount kit included and no drilling required on most applications. Check the instructions in the box for your truck before you start.
Polished stainless or black: what is the difference?
The polished version is stainless steel with a bright finish. The black version is steel with a black powder coat. Tube size, step pads and fit are the same.
Are there end caps that can fall off?
No. The ends are fully welded, seamless domes with a 30-degree factory-style bend, so there are no end caps or exposed bolt heads.
Installation
Stuck on a step?
- Two Pro-Traxx 5 step bars, driver and passenger side
- Vehicle-specific mount kit with hardware
