I had the poison spyder rock gaurds with the built in step on my tj and they were made extreamly well and looked good to. The only thing was the step was slipery when the snow built up on it but the sahara steps I have now are slicker than dog snot in the snow to. Personaly I would rather have the poison spyder gaurds on mine they at least give you some protection.

smittybuilt src rock armor but if clearance matters the lowest rail and uprights would need to be cut out because they sit low

....but doing that introduces some flex so you would probably want to add something like psc body armor behind the inner rail and then the price of the 'project' goes up

if clearance/weight (I think they are around 60 lbs each) are not an issue hard to beat the price and these go to the body mounts not just the body = sturdy, out of the box no flex and easy install

no complaints

I have the same setup, and like it. Very sturdy.
