What do you want to know? So far they are great. When they retract they make a clunking noise which at first bugged me but now I like the audio cue that they are retracted.

Oooh can I play? Request a pic, actually.
With the step down, show your foot placed across the step = I will have to get steps for my JT, we had Amp steps on my JK which were great but the Rebel ones look a lot better retracted. Just concerned the steps are not wide enough ‘for her’. How wide do they actually measure?
Thanks!

Thanks for the information. I guess my real question is, would you buy them all over again, or go with something different?

Here’s some pics. So far I love em, and yes I’d buy them all over again.

They are a little wider at the ends by an inch, but are easily stepped on at any point. When you open the door the step pops out the bottom and is very sturdy, you see my foot on it. It retracts when you close the door.

I have them and like them a lot . And yes i would buy them again no question. As mentioned they do make a clunking sound when they retract and it did bother me at first but now i view it as the steps are letting me know that they are retracted.

Interesting - my wife also needs something although she's getting better at getting in and OUT as it is, but still.......... it's a problem.
My question is how far off the ground is the step - due to differences in tires and the 1" extra height from the factory the Rubicon has over the Overland maybe a better way would be how far down from the SILL is the step when out/down?
I can use that to determine how high the step would be from the ground for my specific truck and go from there.

We have these steps on our JT.. 3inch lift on 37's and the steps are less than a foot off the ground when they swing down. Perfect for my petite wife and mother..

According to this review, they drop down 12".

Due to the differences even from the factory in the curb height of the Rubicon vs. Overland vs. Sport vs. any of the aforementioned with a lift, I'm looking for the distance from the step to the sill - then I can measure back down to determine height off the ground for mine. If you have that sort of a lift and it's less than a foot off the ground, LOL - with a stock overland they likely sit on the ground ;-)

Which helps somewhat, thanks - but from what because I don't know where they sit when installed in relationship to the sill.
Stock Overland running boards sit 5" down from the sill, 17.5" from the ground with stock tires and no lift.

If these drop down 12" and they sit like the overland running boards, that puts them 17" down from the sill when extended.

From step to door sill it`s 12.5" on my Rubicon.

I went with the AMP research XL power steps they are around 400 dollars cheaper and when they are down the step runs from the front fender all the way to the rear fender and I think the steps are about 6 inches wide really happy with my choice and would buy them again

THANK YOU. With that measurement, which is the same on all Gladiator models, regardless of lift, I can compare and make a better decision.
I can now also figure the height from the ground if it's 12.5" down from the sill.
Thanks for that info.

Looking at them, too - comparing. That's why I'm trying hard to get the info like installed height, distance from step to sill when extended and that sort of thing. Those are also very nice looking systems.
