Default Side steps with benefit of rock sliders?

Hello to all. I am looking at getting some side steps. My X is still stock , but sometimes my passengers have a hard time getting in. I am looking for a set that would double as rock sliders. Take out two birds with one stone type of thing. Is there anything like that? Pictures would be a great help.

Default steps = rock catchers

From my experience steps are just something to get caught on rocks or trees. I would get a good set of roll bar grips. They are useful for getting in the jeep and for holding onto even on the trails. My pass is short and not so good shape and with the grip she can get in pretty easy.

I've got Smittybilt Side Armor on my Jeep. They're sliders that double as steps. I'd post a pic but my computer's smarter than me. I tried to post a pic and I'm pretty sure a message flashed on my screen about my computer deleting all my files and "doing" my wife...

Mbrp have a bolt in step option for their sliders and it looks like a significant drop to the step but they come off easily for trail runs.

I know what you are looking for and if I'm not mistaken it would be the same ones I am looking at. Now of course you'll have to wait until I get home from being in the field and look up the brand on my JK wish list I have at home.
I really hope I'm right on the ones I want since I will be doing a 6" lift and my wife and I seem to be breaking ourselves. Steps needed for us at least to brace off of.

I have the offroading evolution sliders and there is somewhat of a step. The LoD ones have a good step in them

The OR Fab Rock sliders/Guards are good as well. I was looking for the same thing. They've worked great so far.. and provide a pretty good step. Unfortunately they're kinda pricey.
