Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has mounted the RSE power step sliders when a 1.25" body lift is already installed on the Jeep?
They are the RSE power steps that bolt to the body then have brackets that connect to the body mount bolts the 3 per side.
once bolted to the body the brackets will then be 11/4" higher than the body mount bolt heads.
I already have a body lift installed, that's why im having an issue..ugh
Just looking for some advice and pics,
Thank you

 

If you go anywhere near mud/gravel roads, mud, rock ledges or water you will regret installing those power steps.

 

I'm hoping not, they seem to have good reviews by other Jeepers but time will tell, Needing them because Im having health issues and cant climb in as easy.
Thanks

 

If you have issues climbing in your likely not going on hard trails so the steps will be fine.

 

Guy I knew that had a different brand step his worked great then one day that Alberta Gumbo/underseal simply plugged it up. He got out they came out and would not go back in when he closed the door. He took that one off in the bush. Best help from this older guy is to use the Grabars (like I do) that easily mount on the inside top corners by the windshield. If you can get your foot on to the mat then you can pull up with your arm for the rest of the job. Real easy.

 

yep, it will be mild wheeling now

 

ya we have that gumbo crap here to, its horrible! But the grab bar is a great idea, im going to look into that too.

 

The big side benefit to doing this is that it also eliminates the terrible habit of grabbing the steering wheel to get in. I've seen folks in precarious situations on a trail go to get back in and grab that steering wheel.....sometimes when the jeep was just teetering . Not that OP would be in that position, but it is a really bad habit most folks have.
