I've got the oedro steps on mine. So far I really like them. Makes it easier for the kids to get in and out. Super easy install and right in your budget. The only thing I don't like is that the steps don't necessarily line up the best with the doors, they're a little far forward. However, once you get used to using them it's not all that bad, and the higher step is nice for cleaning off the roof.

Some might not be thrilled about removing rock rails and installing a step solution but it's really easy. 11 bolts. Just get a torque wrench based on the step solution you use. I picked these up on Amazon (they're like $284 right now) as a low risk solution and couldn't be happier so far. Took me an hour.

You remove the factory Rubicon rock rails (9 bolts each) and install these in their place.

Consider that people keeping their OEM Rock Rails may be doing so because they like the function of the Rock Rails and not because they don't know how to remove the bolts.

I re-installed the OEM Rock Rails after installing a quality set high clearance sliders because the Rock Rails had a few features I like, while the sliders had a few features that made them less functional.

2023 High Tide
When we bought our High Tide, the first thing I did before we drove it home was to go to the parts department and order the same rails/step the thread starter had. Took 9 months to get them and paid a lot, but they are high quality, fit perfect and should not rust as they are zinc plated under the finish.

While waiting those 9 months I looked into other options and would research reviews of them. Every single Jeep step I found (dozens) would get finish loss and rust problems, sometimes very shortly after installing and using on the road only. Also many had fitment issues including needing the body holes drilled out or holes drilled into the frame. None of these were acceptable to me, especially drilling the body holes out and introducing another way to cause rust.

While the Jeep slider/step is a little less efficient than a lot of the cheaper (and not so cheap) alternatives, it’s leaps above everything I found on the aftermarket.
