I'm using Rubi rails with a horseshoe welded up on each side as a step. Works great and coat me under $10.

I got mine from a known jeep parts site that sells "scratch n dent" and returned items very cheap on their ebay store. I won't say the name, but Wiley E. Coyote certainly has an account with them. LOL

Olympic 4x4 tube sliders, not sure what they retail for (300?) but i got them for $85. Said "slightly blemished", arrived brand new in the original packaging, perfect condition. If there was any sort of blemish, i couldn't find it.

These have 2 positions: tucked in close to the rocker, you can barely get a toe on them. Or a couple inches out making for a better step. I keep them in the tighter position.

Lod rails for me, these have taken some serious punishment and I just touch them up and they still look great. Love the step... Perfect rails in my opinion, but will everybody's got one right, lol.

My wife is five foot flat! I have to pick her up like a little kid just to get her in the Jeep lol. I want a rocker guard that has a step as well as side armor. Any ideas? Photos would be appreciated! :-)

I run Tube Tech tube steps, they mount directly to he frame and do not flex at all even when I jump my 230lbs on one! They will rock the ride, but not flex!
