Default Side Steps for factory Rock Rails

I've got the 2012 Rubicon with factory rock rails, but need to attach some side steps to make entry a little easier. Are there any bolt on side steps out there that will fit without major modifications? Any recommendations?

Take a look at the Ace rails. They will bolt on in conjunction with the factory rails

Look at the Ace Rock Sliders, they work well with the Rubi rock rails. I had your same problem and will be ordering by Ace Sliders, later this week. I have read, from other posts, that people love how they look and function as a step. I tried to attach a pic. Hope this helps.

Default side steps

If you are just looking for a step Westin makes nerf bars that attach to the frame and clear the rubi rails. A lot of guys don't like the nerf bars because they do hang down a little lower than sliders and can compromise some clearance. But if you're not worried about clearance they would be a good choice.
