Default Help: I need side rails and there are far to many choices

I have a 2 week old Jeep and I'm looking for side rails with some sort of step on it also. My wife has a hard time getting in and I'm glad it didn't come with stock rails. I was looking at ACE and others but there are way to many to choose from. Looking to spend around $400+/-

If you don't kind drilling into the body check out the Hanson sliders. They are pretty solid and also function as steps.

of all the rocker guards i have seen and personally tested, the lod's are the most functional as a step while still being tougher than snot.

I love my Sittybilt SRC side rails.
Whatever you end up with, you gotta teach her to enter butt first, not head first. It made all the difference with my wife.
