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.
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.
