Smitty Situation... Lift and nothing to step on :(
Hi all! I have the Smitty rocker guards, which are awesome, but there's no where to step... I'm 6'3" and it takes some effort now to hop in... I'm lifting 2.5" and getting 35" tires which will result in 5" of lift and my girlfriend is gonna kill me 
.
Is there any alternative or way to add something to my rocker guards so I can step on em? I'd rather not have to jump on a trampoline or use a rope ladder to get in every day. Has anyone else had this problem or do I gotta suck it up. Thanks!
(oh yeah just ordered some schmitty roll bar grab handles so that my help...)

I have the same rockers with a 2.5 lift and 35s. Im 5'10 and it really isnt that bad getting in once you get used to it. The ladies may have a hard time but that just gives you an excuse to show them how tough and strong you are by tossing them in

Same thing happened to my wife. She's pregnant and has a heck of a time getting in. I can usually slide in if I grab the steering wheel or grab handles, but its certainly not as easy as stock height, and you will wear out the side of the driver's seat pretty quickly.
I could not find a low enough alternative that was fixed in position, so I chose the Amp Research Power Steps. They are expensive, but should fit the bill and then some. 5 year warranty is not bad, and the wife won't be on my back any longer....literally.
