Removing sahara side steps = lift (pics)
I parked next to another JKU sport and thought that it looked higher/taller than my sahara. It was stock and the only difference that I saw was that it didn't have the kiddy side steps.
So I removed the side steps and it really does make the ground clearance look higher. + It dropped 40lbs off the JKU. = better MPG
Here are some pics of the bolts to undo and the before and after. Super easy 5 min each side with a 10mm and 13mm wrench.

AFTER
BOLTS TO UNDO
Some will like it and other wont, it's just my personal opinion.

I didn't like the look when I didn't have the step rails since the bolt holes are showing. Rock rails would obviously cover those holes, but my 5 year old son needs all the help he can get getting into the back.
