Default bestop slider steps

does anyone have these sliding steps?

if im lifting my rig my wife wants a way in and i dont want to nerf the ground clearance by putting in solid steps

also if you do have them does it conflict with the lifted jeep at all?

I have them on a 2-Door and I got these because my wife needed a step they are actually quite solid. I have a teraflex 3" lift and a MORE 1" body lift and they work just fine. They are very strong and resist rocks well!

I have a 2dr too and for the same reasons as yourself I have to get some sort of step for my wife, can you show us some pics of it installed on your rig and how exactly it operates. The bestop website doesn't exactly show how they work and I have my doubts about them. Thanks and look forward to seeing them.

Default Bestop retractable steps

I to am contemplating a set of these, and yep for the same reason - the wife doesn't like clamboring into the lift Jeep.
Any pictures of these installed and more feedback on fit, installation and durability is greatly appreciated.

Here are some pics. The fit is not perfect but acceptable. The metal is very thick and they have held up to all the abuse I have given them. The steps are on a track held on by a tough bunjie. Sounds hokey and kind of is but they do what they are supposed to do. I have pivoted the entire Jeep on the step and it is not dented. These are the best pics I could find.
