I have a 2008 JK with a 3.5" lift. I have Rock Hard's Tube Style Rocker Guards. My problem is the jeep is sitting much higher with the lift than I anticipated, which, to me, this is great but my 5'6" wife has a very hard time getting in.

I see there are aftermarket steps I can bolt on and take off when off-roading but cannot seem to find any for the Rock Hard ones. I called Rock Hard, spoke to the owner about my issue over a month ago, he took measurements over phone and seemed interested in helping me but after numerous attempts (email and phone) I have heard nothing back.

Can someone recommend a solution besides replacing the rails with ones with steps?

 

What about making some kind of a stirrup out of paracord? They would hand below the rails, act as a step, but will not interfere with ground clearance issues. I might have to do that for mine since I also have a diminutive better half.

 

Ive seen shorter people use fold up stools tied to a length of chord to get in. You climb in and then haul the stool up to you with the chord.

 

There are some nice power steps out there in the 1.5-2k range but I'm sure you don't wanna have to swap out your sliders

I may have to make something. I did see these today. These rails look exactly like mine, maybe.. Rock Rail Step - Rock Rail Accessories - Rock Rails

 

Ive been meaning to build a couple of something similar to those. My poor ol dad cant get in my jeep at all.

 

Getting a set of Garvin rock rails put on with a lift today. I ordered the rock rail steps because I'm 6'1" tall and my wife is 5'1" tall and I'm putting on a 4.5" lift with 37's should have it back Thursday I'll let you know how they work. I chose these so they could be removed for clearance instead of a fixed step.

I was also thinking they look like they hook on pretty good so I could leave em on for daily driving if I wanted to.
