Default Rock rails & side steps?

Hey guys is there a cost effective rock rail out there that can also be used to help step into the jeep? I like the Body armor ones but can't tell if you can use them for a step as well.

Since you have the unlimited you can get a really nice rock slider with built in steps on the top side that can't get caught on stuff and they look really good. They are made by Hanson. You can go to their website and see pictures of it.

OR-Fab Rockers w/ Steps — Getting a pair to match my front and rear bumper as soon as the funds are replenished.



I know I sound like a broken record and that I work for them, but I definitely don't I've just been blown away by their quality and customer service.

I'm also going to be looking into something similar as well. I like the RR Rock Sliders but they don't have the step and my gf is vertically challenged and needs the step to climb in

The SRC Rock Guards bent into my rockers causing a dent. They offered me a free replacement and opted for the Classic design. I beat on it pretty good and they are holding up. I'd give Smitty another look.
