I’m trying to figure out if these make getting in and out easier compared to the factory side steps that come on a Sahara. Of course, you didn’t have the Sahara steps since you have a Rubi - but does anyone have an idea of which option is closer to the ground/easier to get in and out?

I believe the steps that come standard on the Sahara are more like a running board. My wife was particular that I get a “step down” so that she could get up easily. We looked at the other options and they seemed to run parallel to the doors and not much of help for her to get up.

I hope this helps.

To confirm, yes, the Sahara is a running board style and is level with the frame rails:

Depending the style of Nerf step you get, I've seen anywhere from 1" to 3" lower of a step.

Bummer to hear about the hold up on the Nfab steps but I'm still some weeks away from placing an order.

I have been in touch with them weekly and I think they are finally shipping stuff - I have been waiting for my RKR with removable steps for 2 months - and they did have tooling changes after prototype review but found out they shipped yesterday.

Thank you for this helpful info!!! Do you know which ones are closer to 1” and closer to 3”, etc? I’m sorry - I’ve searched all over - including asking around at companies... and cannot seem to get answers.

I really like the nFab steps.

Those seem like a decent drop down to make entry easier. I wish they covered the pinch seam more...

Had the n-fab steps for 4 years on my Truck. Good step. They did rust in Ohio winter and had to have them replaced. N-fab replaces them at no cost though. Just had to deal with switching them out.

Thanks! I would buy these right now if they didn’t show the darn pinch seam

any updates? I'm interested to see how these RKR look like. Thanks!

Installed over the weekend - great fit, easy install (about 2hrs by myself) and the steps position makes them very functional.

We test drove a Sahara before we ordered our JLUR. The side steps on the Sahara are a nice feature and make it easier to get in and out of the vehicle. It seemed to me that the Sahara felt closer to the ground than the Rubi.

Hope the info helps....

Thank you! The Sahara is definitely closer to the ground. I do like the side steps as well! I’m curious mostly about how far down nerf bars with steps extend beyond the factory steps.

That said, I’m holding on this one, as I don’t see a great option that offers a good step while also covering the pinch seam.
