Aftermarket Rock Sliders With Step (2 Viewers)

SLEE for the win.
Covered the logo with grip tape… functional win.
Added some brass washers for effect and just installed the ambient light kit.

Im looking for a set specifically so my 4 and 6 year old kids can get in without getting yelled at by the other parents in the pickup line. Its life and death if you arent familiar. I like the Slee and but was considering something with a kickout, though I like the non tubular look better. Can anyone confirm the steps being useful on anything non kickout when both getting in and out of the back row? Thanks.

This is exactly why I bought my Westcott sliders - my 7 & 10 year olds used to have to climb up into the back seats using both hands and feet. The school drop-off and pick-up line is a take-no-prisoners example of survival of the fittest. The Westcotts are tubular and mine have no kickout. Top deck plating is a must for little kids to use them as a step. I don't mind the tubular look...I never really gave it that much thought.

I appreciate the feedback. Its hard from pics to see if the steps are better than the factory OT, but that is a must. I watch them trying to turn their foot awkwardly to get sure footing, so I may get the kickout or ensure something as roughly an additional inch or so over factory. I can tell they struggle when trying to do it and I'm trying to eliminate that, plus its an easy sale to the family warden.

If you don't plan on going offroading I would just stay with the OEM running boards as they work great as a step. The OEM boards will be wider than any aftermarket sliders.

And plenty of off-roaders need to sell them when they install rock sliders of all types.

New from Westcott. They look great and are functional.

Currently installing Westcott, tho for a P+. Took me just over 3hrs to do one side . Blind bolts did not fit 4/6 holes, so had to get a step drill bit. Then spent a decent amount of time trying to get packing foam that must’ve got glued on to the end of the rail. Also had difficulty aligning the brackets. Something was off for sure but not by much, had to somewhat force couple bolts in..they were at a slight angle.

In terms of having more area for stepping..can’t say it seemed that much different than the OEM side steps. Does look better, tho think it’d look better if the rail ended at the wheel well like oem.

Mine went on easy, Westcott did both sides in 2 hrs. The OT has the nut plates already installed though, truck came with OEM rock rails, so it was easy.

The stock Overtrail rock rails make miserable “steps”. The Westcott rock rails, or any aftermarket rock rail, make a huge difference as a step.
