Once they are engaged and down, how far are they from the steps to the ground

I don’t know I would have to measure but the XL power steps go down further than the regular power steps the XL power steps are made for lifted trucks they also have lights that come on when they are down

I lifted my JT 2.5 with 37 tires. The 5'2" wife stands at the door (so you don't want me to go) XL power steps are the answer. Im 200 lbs. and they are rock solid. Do it ..

I have 2” lift with 37’s and the rockslide engineering steps with the light option. There very sturdy. So got them on the wife JK too. Only thing bad about the JK is if the sensor magnet gets bumped around it becomes a pain. Every bump the step deployees . Have to turn off till can reposition the magnet.

No, it's been working great. Also to note, if something gets in the way when it drops down it has sensors and prevents it from hitting too hard. Couple of time I was too close, (Small Garage), and it hit my leg but sensor stopped it and hit was just a nudge. After that have to close and open again because it won't lock into place and free swings. This is a great added safety measure in the rockslide Steps.

how do these work (or do they not) if the doors are off?

do they also come down if only rear door gets opened?

If the doors are I don’t think they’ll work. Because it uses a sensor mounted on the door jam to see if the door is closed to retract. Maybe if you use half doors?
You can disable the steps with a switch. But the switch off keeps in the current position. So if the steps are deployed after removing the doors turning on or off the switch will have no effect .
Also there is sensors on both front and back door. Short time delay so you can open and close each without operating instantly. I usually open back door when cleaning windshield for better access.

There is a kit for when you remove the doors. I don't know exactly how it works though.
