Default step rails

Ok, so I installed a 3" Tereflex lift on my RubiX Unlimited with 35" tires on new 17" rims. Didn't realize the height was going to make it so much more difficult to get in. Don't want to replace my sock rock rails @ this time, any ideas on a kool side step to ease in getting in/out of the JK? Thanks.

Ace engineering rock sliders bolt on over top the rubicon rails. I may end up getting these but the wife vetoed them for the time being as she's not comfortable standing on a round tube. I'll be getting the stock side steps for now. It's a concession I'll have to make I guess but I can live with it...at least I got my lift and tires lol

That is a great example on why sliders should be mounted on the frame and not the body.

I have the ACE Engineering side rails and can speak first hand that they will fit nicely right under the existing Rubicon Rails. They are super tough and don't bend. Price is right too.
