I never weighed them, but I installed them in less than an hour on my back in the driveway. They're probably no more than 15lbs more (each) than the stock Rubi Rails.
Are they wide enough for you to stand on when washing the hard top?

I just installed Ironman Slider Steps. Please pardon, truck is dirty….
These are probably heavier than what you’re looking for, but I thought I’d mention.

One of my requirements was to have a step that goes the whole way across the cab. I need these steps to step-on while I’m washing the roof (or else I can’t reach). ?. I didn’t want anything that sticks down, nothing electric, and nothing that looks like it came off my grandfathers pickup.? These are rocksliders …. Not that I’d ever need them, but we like the LOOK and they’re heavy duty.

I have been rolling with my 37’s and 2.5 Clayton lift for a while on my JTR and finally decided to get some steps after visiting my 76 year old dad and trying to get him in my Jeep for some light trails. Plus I have children and well…it’s a need. Wanted the Rock Hard, but settled for Barricade HD Rocker Steps. I had them on my JKUR and they worked out great. They mounted to the body mounts on the JKUR, but the JT ones don’t which is a bummer. That said, $350 and they will work as a solid platform for getting in AND protect from any parking lot door dings. I’m mainly a forest explorer, so sliding over rocks is not a huge concern at this point.

I took the $600 saved and blew it on the wheels I really wanted but we’re out of stock at the time.

Hey all, my fiancé is asking me to add some steps on the JT due to her difficulty getting in the truck . I currently have the stock Rubicon rails on it. I want to add some steps that are similar in weight I have the diesel so I have to keep my payload low. If anyone has any suggestions to which steps look good and have similar weight to the stock rails. TIA. Pictures would be appreciated also to help decide.
No matter what….you gotta keep the lady(ladies) happy. May not be what you like the most but my experience says you should always pick the number 2 or3 favorite picks to accommodate their needs! Always….Lol?

I did the same. I'm not a rock crawler either. For daily use and light trails, I love mine. Money well spent!

I have the Mopar heavy duty rock sliders with step assist if you're interested. But I'm in Norcal though.

Started out with NFab steps and within the first snow season, they rusted like mad.

Just did Go Rhino RB20 Slim Line steps with the bed liner finish. LOVE THEM.

I really love the look of those. Are they frame mounted?

Could you measure from the bottom of the door to the top of the step? I am comparing the step height to the LOD Destroyer Rocksliders.
