Lifted Rubicon step suggestions

[Patsloft]

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

.

....and perfect for the kids!!

How much were they and did you do the installation yourself?

I too have the MOPAR lift, and 35’s. So far everyone who has seen and experienced my Rockslide Engineering steps are VERRRRY impressed.

I totally agree on these steps.

Best buy I have done for the Jeep.

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!

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.

Ya that helps! You are on 37’s also which would mean for me on 35’s it would be more like 21.75ish right?

Yes, it should be right around that number

They're the steps that come on Sahara's and should just bolt right up. If you can turn a wrench you can install them.

I've never heard of ROAM and I've seen insane amount of their sliders pushed on here. They look nice and good quality, it's just odd to me that I've never heard of the company and they've gotten so much buzz.
Their website looks like they only make products for the JL. How is that even possible unless they've only been in business for ~ a year?

What size tires do you have? They look good

It's the seventh word of the post you quoted.

Roam Offroad is a fairly new company that offers designed and made in America products for the Wrangler JL. Other than their substandard powder coating process, I find their JL side armor steps to be a quality product that fits and looks better than anything else out there.

They definitely look like good quality products, though it's disappointing to hear their powder coating isn't great.
I'm also bewildered by this rear bumper. It looks like it has three hitches. It's also a giant pet peave when I see smaller spares on the back.

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!!

NFab has a good double step bar for JLUs. My wife and kids have no problem getting into the Jeep.

Any chance you could give me a measurement from the ground to the top portion of the step pad?? Your lift and wheel setup is very close to the same. Thanks!

About 18.5 inches.

About 18.5 inches.

Awesome thanks for the measurement! What setup do you have? Lift? Tires? Etc
