Default 4" or 5" oval steps

I am looking for some of the oval tube steps and i am trying to decide
to go with the 4" or 5". What size are the mopar steps? I found some 5"
from Raptor and some 4" from raptor or steelcraft, has anyone had some
from either of these companies and what was the quality? I am going to
pu a couple of links to the ones i am looking at so hopefully they will work.
what do you think will look better the 4" or 5"?

One has the polished ends and the other the black caps, which will look better?

I like my Dee Zee 5" ovals. Chromed aluminum, like the Mopar tubes.

I checked up on the nerf bars listed on Ebay, I contacted 3 prior buyers, one of which is the service mgr at a Dodge dealer. All 3 were very happy with them, and the Dodge mgr stated they started selling them at the dealer as an after market item over the oem nerf bars, better price and 4" over 5", which he said customers seem to say fit better size wise to the truck.
I have not bought a set, but if I do it will be the set on Ebay.

My 2 cents

Thanks for the information. That is a great price on those so i was a little
concerned if they would be any good or not. The dealership here wants
like $900 for the mopar ones....I told them they must be crazy

i also have the 5" dee zee and really like how they look i think they fit the truck better than the 4". the 5" also are a little wider which gives you a little more area to step onto.i bought mine for 369.00 online at truck addons when they first came out

I broke down and bought 4" Steelcraft Stainless Steel for about $350ish, better than the $500 the dealership wanted. I haven't had an chance to install them yet due to the weather.
