Holy cow old thread brought up from the deep! Maybe I can help you out. I have these on my Jeep and yes they do stick out far enough to provide enough of a step to use to get in and out, however there are two problems.

1. They are not the right height to be used as a great step in and out of the Jeep. Yes they can be used as a step, but by the time you step on them you could almost step right in the Jeep.

2. You really should put some type of grip tape for traction on the top of them, especially in wet conditions. I need to do it still and I do not live in a wet climate, but I have nearly fallen the couple times I have tried to use them when it has been damp out.

I hope this helps.

They work great as steps -- I use 'em all the time to access my roof rack. They're not very wide though, so I usually hold on to the roof rack with at least one hand. I would also strongly recommend you put some anti-slip tape on them.

Slush doesn't seem to accumulate on mine. They also block some of the spray up on the side. Brown slush on the handles sucks a little, but what can you do. It's probably worse for folks without the steps or rock sliders.

Here's a pic of mine:



BTW, if you're planning on adding some skid plates, do the skids first _then_ the rock sliders.

ctimrun's reply about them not being the right height to use as steps is from a guy's POV. My husband doesn't use them to get in my jeep and can step right over them, however I would not be able to climb into my jeep without using them as a step! Guess it depends on how tall your wife is and how high your jeep is - I am 5'5" and have a 3" FT lift that is sitting much higher than that. Bill is 6", and I think ctimrun is about the same.

I haven't put traction tape on them, and I have no problem using them even when I'm wearing heels. The only time I have a problem with slipping is when they are wet and I'm not wearing shoes (washing the jeep).

I use the steering wheel to pull myself up, for your wife in the passenger seat you would probably want to add a grab handle if you don't have them already.

Love 'em and highly recommend them.

Thank you all, this is exactly the information I was looking for. I will be ordering a pair of these soon!

There goes Lori again, trying to start an argument!

Maybe I missed it but, do these fit on with the factory rubicon rails?Any pics would be great!

Dayton

No the Shrockworks sliders will not fit with the Rubicon rails installed.

YES they will..."IF" you let them know that when you place your order. I have them on mine w/ the Factory Rubi rails...

Dayton

Is that the 1" body lift option for the sliders?
