Default im gonna get higher

So ive made up my mind and im going to be getting rid of my 2.5 in teraflex kit and going to the 3.5 in aev premium lift. Ive run into a problem though. As it stands now i have some Hanson rock sliders with a built in step, however the step does not help at all when someone is trying to get in (the girlfriend is not very tall) so what i was thinkin was to add these powered steps in addition to my rock sliders?? do you think i would run into any problems running both?

i'm pretty sure these mount to the frame and therefore shouldn't be a problem to use in conjunction to what you have.

Its called lift envy, it afflicts ten out of ten jeepers daily. Unfortunantly only 1 in ten can afford it and 3 out of ten spouse says no, the others just save pennies and pick up cans on side of road to finance the new lift. Just empty every pocket is our slogan. Now if i just had a bigger lift....

Looking at the pics of the underside of the jeep when these are on It looks like they would fit under your sliders and that they take the rock hits instead. Don't think that they are designed for that.
Also, you will have a motor in your undercarrage that could be exposed to hits and water damage during creek crossings.

Just get her one of these and attach a rope to it.
