Not sure if the steps are lighter, my truck is fleet side, with no weight reduction and a half tank of gas along with stereo stuff weighed in at 4200(with out me), that was with the 18's, rear bumper,bed cover.

the fleets are lighter by a little bit. It was compared a good while back. The step beds are double wall plastic and its pretty thick.
