Default Lifted JK short wife need step bar suggestions

Ok My Wife wants her own JK now. there will be no JK in my driveway that doesnt have at least 35's and 4" lift, which she also wants! LOL

that being said she is 5ft and requested step bars of some sorts. either rock sliders that would work for an extra boost.

what one's do you all recommend there has to be short people driving lifted JK's on this site


Thanks guys!

I have Westin sidesteps/bars. They are still high, though, only a couple inches lower then the door itself.

Not lifed yet but lift and 35's are shipped.

We got ready for the lift beforehand and put the Rugged Ridge Rock Rails on ours works great as a step also.

Grab handles and a stepladder

My girlfriend is 5'2", so I have the same issue now that I've got a lift in...and I'm still on 32's. Once I bump up to 35's, I may have to look at sliders with a step bar.

I've got the Rubi factory rails, so I'm considering one of the "Weld it on yourself" kits to add a touch more protection and give her something to step on.

Rugged Ridge makes a good side step bar for a great price, check Quadratec.com

Take a look at Rugged Ridge SRC side armour, more of a rock rail than the other step type mentioned above, but still allows my kids to climb up into JK. It attaches to the frame and has been very sturdy offroad. There's a dedicated thread on them in the Search.

Depending on how low the step needs to be, these are adjustable and easily removable.

But the stepping area is not large.

thats cool she wants her own jk. that completely changes things, i was going to advise just lifting her up in the jeep everytime or get on all 4's and let her climb

if you get a set of rubi sliders, you can weld a piece of tubing to hang down for a step, if done right it looks good too. just a cheap option if your looking for one

My wife has this one. She is 9 months pregnant and had to have something. I really like that you can leave it on or just slip it off. It is so simple. I tried using side bars and it is still to high. The ez step works really good.
