Default Styleside and Stepside?

So Ive been looking at fender flares for 04-08 and am seeing these 2 terms?

flareside is what some fx4's have and maybe some other trucks. the bed of the truck is indented and they leave a small step or 'flare' around the edge to step on to get easy access

styleside is just a regular bed with no steps on the sides

Flareside look like they have a really narrow bed? Atleast when I was behind one.

They are narrower. All they do is bring the walls in flush to the wheel wells. You can still put a sheet of plywood in the back, lying flat.
