Default How do you get in your lifted JKs?

Hi I'm new here. I own 2011 JK 2 door lifted 2" on 33" tyres, no side steps. I'm average height and it requires from me a little effort to get in.
This brought to my mind a question - how do 35" or 37" owners lifted 4" or more get in their JKs? Are there any special techniques?

I hope it's the right place for this kind of questions?

Do you have good grab handles? A good step also helps. My wife is 4ft 11. She hops in easy with 4 to 5 inch heels on with the aid of the handles and step. I just put a leg in and pull myself up. We are on a 6inch lift and 37s

I start from 30 feet away, get a sprinting start, leap as high as I can and hope I land on my seat before the door swings shut on me.

Just kidding

I have ACE rock sliders that act as steps. Just grab the steering and step on the rails. Watch that I don't nail my chestnuts on the seat handle on the way in and I'm all set!!

Thanks for quick info. I'm preparing my wallet and mind to 3-4" lift on 35s and grab handles really feels like a good idea. Steps are in my plan anyway. Thx again.

X2 on these. The ACE sliders are quite effective as a step and for protection.

This is another alternative I've seen on the internet.

I'm lazy and use my rock rails as steps, but my buddy has a 4.5" lift and 37s and he just uses muscles and momentum. Guess that's why I got 80 pounds on him LOL...

Looks original, and seems like a "horse" type rather than Jeep one ;-)
But still impressive...

My dads TJ has a 5.5" lift on 35s and I just grab the "holy sh*t" handle and stretch my leg up. I am 5'6 and it is real easy
