I have the Iron Cross Endeavors SS. A full 5" wide and I love them. I was on them [165lbs.] with my father in law on the back end [210lbs.] and felt no dip. Solid.

Has anyone here used the N-Fab 6 step bars? I can't seem to find a picture of them in the textured black finish.

I stuck with the Mopar Black aluminum running boards. Yeah, you'll have to dig a bit deeper into you pockets to by them but they are worth it. They fit the lines of the truck perfectly, and the pads are an exact match of the pad on your rear bumper. All in all, its a matter of what you want to spend. There are tons of great step boards out there for any price range.

The Mopar stirrup steps and Mopar nerf bars use existing holes, so no drilling is required. That made the stirrup steps my first choice over aftermarket. Then I found them for $119 for the pair, versus $235 for aftermarket.

Easy decision....

The motors are very heavy duty. Haven't heard of any failures with the AMP brand. If there is resistance, it shuts down so no damage done.

I think the tubes look like crap on the 4th gen, especially on a Sport. The Amp Powersteps solved that problem.

Got to agree here, I personally don't care for any of the steps out there and these steps give the truck a clen look while still having the steps.
