Has anyone mounted the RSE door step sliders (electric drop down) yet?

How do you like them? Any regrets or competitive steps you wish you had installed instead?

I had a set of AMP PowerSteps on my JKUR and ordered the RSE steps, but after being on back order for 2 1/2 months I am almost ready to give up and go another route, except I don't know what alternatives I would choose.

I just found out mine will be here late this week. Can I ask a favor? It looks like you are running 37" tires too, did you do a lift kit? The favor is, could you measure from the ground how high is the step?

I have these also. They are sweet. I have had an issue where they don't retract fully flush towards the back of the step, so they rattle a little. I also have an issue where they don't fully deploy, they'll go down about halfway and then I have to push them the rest of the way with my foot. I sent pics to RSE and they are replacing them under warranty (although it's taking forever to get the replacements since they're so far behind).

Sorry to hear you have an issue. I placed my order on June 18th and I'm supposed to get them delivered later this week. Popular little item!!

No worries, it's life. RSE has been great about it so far. No point getting mad at them about their demand, haha.

I also have 37s, and my step is 15.5" off the ground when deployed. I'm 5'3" and it's the perfect height for me.

I’m running a 2.5” lift with 37s and the step is 15” from the ground when deployed.

Getting ready to pull the trigger on these but at $1800 a set want to make sure no issues . Can anyone update me on how these are working out for you.
Thanks in advance

Anyone had experience with slider coming in contact with rocks etc and causing issues with the function of the step??

I'll be listening too. Mine have been on backorder for over two months and I'm getting impatient. I hope they are worth it.

Freight company called me today to arrange delivery. They’ll be coming Monday during a two hour window that will be finalized Monday morning.

I’m not sure if I’ll get to install them before the weekend but I’ll be sure to update everyone.
