Comparing Dee Zee DZ3700303 vs. DZ3700301
Both models share the core 3-inch round design, but subtle differences help you pick the perfect fit. The DZ3700303 features a black powder-coated finish for a stealthy, matte look that's ideal for off-roaders who want low-maintenance durability and camouflage against dirt. It's slightly optimized for extended cab trucks with broader mounting points for stability.
In contrast, the DZ3700301 boasts a bright, high-polish stainless steel shine, perfect for daily drivers or show trucks where chrome accents shine. It's tailored for crew cab configurations, offering a tad more length for rear passenger access. Both weigh in similarly for balanced handling, but choose the DZ3700303 if you prioritize rugged stealth, or the DZ3700301 for eye-catching polish.
