(More customer reviews)Install wasn't too bad. You have to lift the body off the frame to insert the bottom part of the rocker guards (loosen the opposing bolts and unbolt completely the side your installing the rocker on. They say to trim the body mounts to accommodate the guards but I just pushed them in and torqued everything back down (squashed the two body mounts) and it fits nice. I also found it UNNECESSARY to remove the rocker guards before drilling the holes on the body. Make sure the guards are pushed in snug between the body mounts and then use a floor jack to push the guards firmly up against the body. Then use the rocker guards as a template to drill and bolt them to the body. Much easier.
I chose the model WITHOUT the step for a couple reasons:
WITHOUT the step combined weight of the guards are ~33 pounds, WITH the step they're ~70 pounds... More than double the weight..
Also, getting in and out of the jeep it would be a pain having them get in the way. Plus I hear its not really useful as a step to get in. Its higher than the jeeps floor.
Unless your planning on doing some serious rock crawling and having protruding boulders threaten the body of your jeep than yes the step would serve a purpose on keeping them away a few inches but I dont plan on having a protruding rock get that close to my jeeps body anyway. Buy what rocker guard will suit you..
They look great, and line up nice. For ~$150 you cant beat this deal.
