    So, I want lift my Taco and get her some bigger tires. But, my issue is my short wife(4'10"). She tried to get in my friends Taco that has a 2 1/2" lift and 33's with rock sliders and it was too high. Since it's her daily driver I need to find a solution. I heard of N-Fab, but heard there not good because there too close. HELP I need to get this done and start climbing over some rocks!! Thanks

    Not sure if @Rob Daman gave up on trying to sell these... but I'm guessing you could copy the concept. Just be sure to take them off before off-roading.

    Im guessing your buddy's truck doesnt have 0 degree sliders. My truck has a 2" lift with 32s and my 5'3 wife has no issue. Also my 3'6ish five year old has no issues either.

    Maybe replace the existing grab handle with longer paracord?

    I seen a Jeep with some removable steps on the sliders the other day. The adapter that Rod Damen had in post 3 looks way better than the ones I seen on the Jeep.

    The right zero degree sliders with top plates and some grip tape or something may work.

    I have RCI’s matching that description going on next week, can update if they seem like they could realistically act as a useful step.

    Just zip tie on whatever steps you want to the sliders. Maybe some sort of lug to keep them from spinning around the slider.
    When you use the sliders as sliders the steps will just tear off without damaging the sliders.

    I'm only kinda joking.
    The purpose of sliders is to protect the vehicle and you want them to be as close to the body as possible, with as little "hang" as posible.
    The purpose of steps is to make them low enough to be convenient for stepping on, but to make sure that it doesn't "hang up" the vehicle.

    If I had these requirements I'd find some sliders that I liked and try to find a way to "lightly" attach some small steps to make wifey happy.
