hey all!
In need of some help here! I lifted my 2018 4 door rubicon with the mopar 2” kit and tossed 35s on it. Now it’s pretty tough for my kids to get in!! I’m in need of suggestions on what steps would be best to put on the Jeep! I prefer the double step look versus a full out running board. So let me know what’s out there and most preferred thanks!!

I just bought Roam rock rails, they also have less costly option of just side steps. I think they are the nicest looking and there are many positive reviews on this site.

I installed the ROAM rock rails, last week. These should work nicely with an AEV lift when they are available.

I was just asking AEV about their bumpers and they said couple more months but suspension and wheels in the next couple days.

How low do they teach down??? Do they drop even with the frame? Maybe a few lower side pics to see for low they drop???

Personally, am very glad I went with the Mopar ones. They look great, high quality and will never rust

Here is a few side pics of Roam side steps mounted on mine. I am on 37’s and with the steps, it’s much easier for my wife and daughter to get in and out of

Those are awesome pics! I currently have the mopar performance rails on and was hoping I would gain some decent distance to the ground with a new step. I love the look of the roam just nervous it won’t be enough assistance! Looks like it does pretty well from what I can tell.

Is there any chance you could put a tape measure to the steps. Curious to know how far from the ground to the step platform. This will give me a better idea of height for my kiddos! Thanks!!

How old are your kids? My four boys from 3.5-11yrs old have no problem getting in with the ROAM steps on my Wife's Jeep with a 2.5" Lift and 37's. My youngest has a hard time getting in mine with the same steps, but I'm a good bit higher than she is.

They are 7 and 11, I’m only 5’4” so they don’t have much of a chance to get too tall rofl but I wanna make sure if I get a set they net me something more than the performance rock rails I have now.

I measured right in the middle of the two doors at the rear of the front step. It measured at 22.75 inches.... hope this helps.
