I spoke with my contact at Westin regarding the Westin R5 Nerf Bars # 28-51030 (which are confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500) and he said that they do not actually list weight ratings for any of their nerf bars. This is because the limiting factor will be the mounting locations on the truck itself. He just recommends checking with a local Chevy dealer to see what the weight capacity is on the Silverado's rocker panels, which is where the nerf bar brackets will mount. This essentially means the bars themselves are capable of handling any weight that the truck can.

I have attached a short video demonstration on the Westin R5 Nerf Bars and the written installation instructions that you can also check out.
