Default 4" Oval Side Steps/Nerf Bars

I've been reading old posts on here pretty much all night about different side step/nerf bar applications for QC Rams. I'm looking to put a pair on my '06 so my girlfriend can get in and out easier. I'm having trouble deciding which ones to get. I've read good things about all 3 of these on here:

http://dealsofsteel.com/catalog/prod...oducts_id=1456

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Oval-...44662796QQrdZ1


I've read quite a bit on here about difficulty installing the mopar steps. I'm leaning toward the ones from dealofsteel, but the ones on the last link look exactly the same. I like the look of the welded (not plastic) end caps. I also want the 4" oval straight bars, I don't like anything else I've looked at. Help me out, I'm having trouble making a final decision. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

I would love to see pics if you have them! Do they feel sturdy? Any problems with rust on the bars/brackets?

EDIT: Movinthangs, I see you're from MS too. I'm in Oxford and it's good to see more MS people on here.

Here is a couple of pics.... Sorry the truck is dirty. It rained last night. Yeah they are sturdy. They bolt on to the cab bolts and rocker panel. The brackets are black and have no rust on them or the bars.

I have the chrome Westin Nerf bars, they look good, and are very strong.. I like them.. But I think I like the mopar nerfs better.

I like the Mopar's as well, but I've heard they're hard as hell to install. They're over $100 more than the others too. I can't decide.

I had the Mopar factory bars but I bent one of them. I know they are a B***H to get off. The ones I have now are pretty simple to put on. Took me about an hour to do it.
