I am hoping to get some sizing advice for this (or other Lib Tech/Gnu boards). I am 6', 180 lbs, size 11 boot. I primarily ride off the trails and trees with a little in the park.
I think the 161 (maybe 158?) is the right length, but do I need the wide? Knowing that the Dark Series has the small riser and I am right on the cusp of boot size, what do you think?

I have this exact board in a 161. I am 6'3" 300 pounds and for me this is a good park board. For myself riding through powder I found some difficulties riding (i am used to riding a 165) but for you saying you go through trees and go off trail, a 161 will be perfect for you. I wish I would have got mine in a wide though for powder just because i am 300 lbs. This board is very good in the park. I have been landing more stuff than ever due to magna traction!!! SO ya trees 161 park 158... Hope I could help.

You'll want to go with the wide dark series for a size 11. I'm a 9.5 and the waist on the 158/161 (same waist width) is perfect up to a 10, for a 10.5 or larger I'd take the wide. I'd stick to the 161 for your weight.
