2021 Jeep Gladiator Sport S
First time Jeep owner. I have the '21 JT Sport S. Put 35s on it w/2" spacer lift. Now, it is a bit tougher getting into and out of the car. My 3yr old son looks like Sly in Cliffhanger every time he climbs in. I am looking into steps/running boards next. I lean towards the steps (excuse my ignorance, if I am using wrong terminology). Visually, they look much better to me. But, is there anything I should be aware of when it comes to these accessories? Suggestions? Right now, Rough Country is my number one due to cost and aesthetic.
Just FYI -

That is a good looking rig. never been a fan of blue until now. Can you help, what is the difference between nerf bar and step bar? I have seen both terms used.
Thank you.
Nerf bar is an older term, used by old farts like me. I think it's kind of a hold-over from the 60's-70's.
But nerf bars are typically round, whereas a step bar is pretty much any bar with a step attached.

I installed the Go-Rhino D1 running board. It drops about 2”. It really helps this 60 year old get into my Gladiator after the 2” lift.
