Question Truck Bed Steps?

In need of a truck bed step, one that can be used with the tailgate down. What are some experiences with actual use? Whats the best one? Keep in mind... I have dual exhaust on my vehicle, thus may exclude certain models. Any help is appreciated.

If you actually need a step to get into the bed then something like this is the safest.

I think Dodge makes an automatic fold down step, as an accessory.

That one looks to be to narrow and the steps look too close together. The one step models seems to be the way to go.

I know that one but it only works if you don't have dual rear exhaust, I do have it so...

ouch. in that case, I guess you want a hitch step. other than that they make the same step for the side, but you DO NOT WANT TO BE REACHING OVER YOUR QUARTER PANELS. you will get dings quick.
