Yes they work just fine as a step.Body or frame mount?

Do they really stick out far enough to use as a daily step also with the top plates added?
I love them!

I can see your frame on your photo's and don't see anything tying the sliders into the frame. It looks like they use the same body mount holes that the OEM rails use.The rock sliders are FRAME mounted and, yes, they function as a real step. They are the only way my short wife can get into my Bronco. I went with the version with the top plates when they were on sale around that Thanksgiving time, I think. Love them!
I posted picks of my installation in the following thread and you can search page after page there with detailed photos of the installation many pictures of them on 2 and 4 doors. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/rock-sliders-by-goat-fabrication.29059/post-1699265
Correct. My bad. I just looked back at my photos and confirmed that as well. Regardless, as for using them as a step, they don't flex at all when stepped on.....rock solid. They also mount better than the factory rock rails and have substantial structure such that I feel they would perform as true rock rails much better than the stock units would.I can see your frame on your photo's and don't see anything tying the sliders into the frame.

Frame mounted sliders for reference.

Sorry we didnt see this earlier.I love the look of these sliders, but don’t love the look of the top plate.
I want good looking sliders, and my wife wants a step. How do the plateless tube sliders work as a step? Any foot slippage while getting in/out?
