My recommendation would be to check out the ace rails. They are a sturdy rock rail that also works as a step

Im 5'3" so when I lifted mine I made sure I had the oem running boards. I like how they blend into the fenders. They are on ebay for around $250 for the pair. Steve white auto I think is the seller. Definitely the cheapest ive seen oem parts.

As kh202 said, I would take a look at the ace sliders, a few others out there can double as a pseudo step as well.

I know you said "step not slider", but if you plan on ever doing any off roading I would recommend going with a slider; even sticking to easier trails you never know when you might have to crawl over something that inadvertently gives your side a bump. A slider can take a hit, protect your jeep, and keep on going; a step may or may not save you from a hit, and even if it does it's not likely to come away from it in good shape. Heck, I saw someone get briefly high centered on a small dirt hill and put a bend in one of their nerf bar steps.

Completely agree. Do yourself a favor and get something that doubles as a step as well but that gives you protection. I have the mopar running boards on my 2 door and it is my biggest regret... Alway worried that I'm gonna hit something with them, and wreck the side if the jeep.
