WOW, I love your set up!
I have a 2019 Rubicon and am looking to do the same set up...35 inch tires on a Fuel 20 inch wheel.
What back space do you have on your wheel as they look Great on your rig.
Thanks for sharing!

To be honest I don’t know. I bought it off the dealer showroom floor ready built. From the invoice build sheet it used this lift kit (readylift 69-6826)

There’s a bunch of photos on their website if you’re interested. I just took off the light bar because it was super noisy on the highway.

Surprised I don't see more people talking about the M.O.R.E. Hide-a-step....
Any feedback? They get great reviews...

I had been looking at step options for a while. I was ready to pull the trigger on them last week. Then I watched an installation video where two guys struggled to pick them up. I found out they are 200 lbs without the armor and 290 with the armor. While I agree they are the "trickest" step out there, the weight is just more than I want to put on my Jeep. I was really bummed. I need a good way for my wife to get in and out. Shes 5' 3", 62 yrs old and has had a knee replaced.

My plan includes a front bumper, rear bumper/tire mount, winch, some type of step solution and possibly some skidplate protection and 35s. If I put 100 lb winch, 130 lb front bumper, 290 lb steps, 200 lb skidplates, and 170 lb rear bumper/tire mount, add another 100 lbs in bigger tires/wheels and my Jeep would be half a ton heavier than when I bought it!

Interesting comment on the weight. I installed mine all by myself quite easily. (And I’m a first timer doing this installation). I found the hardest part to be the electrical, not the hardware install. And now that I’ve done it once even that would be pretty quick, if there is ever a next time

My mom is 87 and she speaks very highly of the deployable steps.
