Default Best rock rails with step capabily

As my Jeep gets higher, my kids have a harder time getting in and out without getting hurt. I only have Rubicon rock rails right now and need input/pics.

I do a fair amount of wheeling but it's usually of serious rock crawling.

I too have been searching for something that will make it easier for my 5' wife to get into the Jeep, she complains about how hard it has gotten for her to get in. I would really like something that is removable and have considered the Hide-a step by M.O.R.E but have not been able to find an off-road shop that has one in stock. I hesitate to order one online only to find that it doesn't work for her.

I have Ace rails and they're great as a step for my kids. They won't break the bank and work perfectly with the Rubi rails.

I have a set of rock slide engineering's step sliders and they work great, it was a definite selling point for my 5' tall wife.

X2 on ACE - They're affordable, work well with Rubi Rails, and made in the USA

Those are really nice but cost more than I want to pay. You can do a lot of mods for $2000.00. Maybe I'm too much of a tight wad but as much as I would like to have a 50 inch LED light bar I didn't want to spend the money for that either. Now about them Ace Rock Rails ......

Great as a step as you want and I've banged them off rocks and nothing..... If you listen real close you can actually hear the ACE rails laughing at the rocks saying "bring it on is that all you got" *wink*

I solved the wife's complaints by getting rid of the wife

Still need to accommodate the kids though.

I like the ACE rails and I didn't know they work with the rock rails. Thanks for the pic, it helped.
