Side Steps: a leg up and a rocker-panel guard in one bar

Side steps do two jobs at once. The obvious one is getting people in and out of a lifted rig without hauling themselves up on the door frame. The one that matters off-road is protection: a bar bolted to the pinch-weld or frame takes the hit from a rock ledge or a curb so your rocker panels and doors don't. The heavier side steps here are built as sliders, meaning they're rated to carry the vehicle's weight sitting on a rock, not just a boot on the way in.

What we stock

This category currently shows 6 products from 4 brands: Body Armor 4x4, ARB, Kentrol and Rock Slide Engineering. Prices run from $182 to $1,198 for what's in stock right now - that's a current range, not a locked price. Fitment data points at one make, Jeep, covering the CJ7, Wrangler, Wrangler Unlimited and Gladiator across a year span from 1976 to 2024.

At the light end, the ARB Sahara Tube sits at $182. The Kentrol polished silver step pair for 76-95 CJ7 and Wrangler YJ lands at $326.50. Body Armor 4x4 covers two eras with the 04-06 Wrangler Unlimited Rockcrawler steps at $508.44 and the 2019+ Wrangler Gladiator JT 4-door set at $735.32. At the top is the Rock Slide Engineering 2024 Gladiator JT slider at $1,197.58 - note that one is sold per passenger side.

How to choose

Ask what the bar is really for. If it's mostly a stepping aid and looks for a daily-driven Jeep, a tube step like the Kentrol or ARB does the job at the lower end of the range. If you actually wheel and want the bar to take a rock hit, the Body Armor 4x4 and Rock Slide Engineering rockcrawler-style sliders are the heavier, pricier answer. Watch how a product is sold: the Kentrol is listed as a pair, while the Rock Slide Gladiator step is a single passenger side, so you'll want to plan for the matching driver side. Match the year and body exactly - a 04-06 Unlimited set and a 2019+ JT set are not interchangeable.

What else you need

Sliders and steps pair naturally with other underbody and trim protection. Look at Mud Flaps to keep spray off the rockers you just guarded, and Tow Hooks for recovery points. If you're building out the rig's exterior, browse LED Light Bars and the wider Lighting section, or step back to the full Exterior department to see everything in one place.

Fitment and ordering

Because these are year- and body-specific, confirm the exact fit before you buy. Use the fitment calculator or call fitment help at 813-535-5801. Every order ships free, and Affirm financing is available on the bigger slider sets. Questions on a specific Jeep? Reach us through contact us.
