So the wife has steps on the 4 door BD had them a few years and they are not holding up.

Any sold recommendations for full length side steps that will hold up but not break the bank.

I prefer something that attaches to the OEM rock rails.

Thanks...

My wife had a hard time with the height of the stock step so I installed the e-Steps which lower the step by approx 4” as compared to stock height & they fold up out of the way when not in use. Installation was very straightforward and they have operated flawlessly for 2+ years.

I have ordered my badlands with the Raptor-style running boards and love them. Really helps my kids get in and out of the car and they are very durable. Also removable if you want to go wheeling (and keeps the rock rails).

Maybe you can find some take offs for a discount from someone or trade your rock rails.

I bought the IAG clamp on steps. They’ve made it much easier for her to get in and out. Right after they arrived, a set showed up on Marketplace for cheap.

Like...dwarfism short or just typical female short?
My wife is 5'2". My kids are kids... Nobody has trouble getting in and out of the Wildtrak.
Sounds like you've got a complainer on your hands. Time to trade in for a new wife.

IAG now has two types of rock-rail stirrup steps, one is about 3" lower and the other looks to be 6" lower than the door seal.

I removed the passenger seat. Problem solved.

If she can't get on the hitch rack or the roof, she stays home.
