Has anyone tried these Rough Country or IAG Full Length rock slider steps

I am in the same boat as you. Looking to add a step to the rock rails but not sure on the size of the stirrups!

Yes my wife tried the NFab steps on our Truck and didn't like them. She wants a full board

We have a Badlands Sasq with the factory rails but my wife is just barely over 5ft and needs a step. I don't really want to take the factory rails off but there are limited solutions. She doesn't like the stirrup type steps she sailys they are too small. We are looking at the full IAG slide steps

And these Rough Country steps that replace the rails

The Rough country steps are cheaper by 300 dollars but replace the rails.
Curious on them if they will work as well or better than factory for off-road use.

The IAG seem very expensive for just sliding on the rock rails and say tested to 300 lbs which seems very low for a 4 door. They recommend taking them off for off road so no added side protection for the doors

I have the IAG steps, the first version they had which are individually mounted steps. I like them but they are NOT a rock slider or something that one could or should use off road, they are not intended for anything more than an aesthetic step…..and maybe prevent a door ding etc. This newer longer version is nice in that it’s the full length of the vehicle and also protects a little more than the single version I have, against rock chips etc. Overall the quality is very good, mounts easy, looks nice but should be removed the minute you tread off road where you might be hitting big rocks. Personal, I’d love it if IAG could make these into a full blown, put all the weight of a vehicle on it, looks like these current version, true rock slider. I’d buy them in a heartbeat!

All the other versions of rock sliders, from different manufacturers (work like real rock sliders) look ok, but for some reason are not as nice as the IAG product (aesthetically).

I have the IAG full step on 4dr. My wife is about 5-2 and she was able to get in without the step but feels they are the best upgrade I have made.
The step is a step and not a slider. They are a fairly easy install, and I would expect it to be easy to remove as needed. I have seen a bit of rust at a couple areas at seams so winter will be interesting. They seem sturdy and feel secure. The bump-out at the back (if installed that way) is nice for kids/grandkids to enter/exit. It could also be a platform to access a roof rack as needed. The steps also help limit door dings depending on the vehicle next door...

Are they sturdy enough to hold a couple heavy adults at once? They so good I think they are the best but was hoping to get one that doubles as an extension of the rock rails

if you want to keep the rock rail feature and add a step, I’d recommend the Zroadz sliders. These are the first upgrade I made to my sas badlands and the wife loves them. Edit: adding photo

Man love the Bronco design. And those doors. Do they feel very sturdy? Would you leave them on off-road for some extra protection or take them off?

They are huge and heavy!

I have the IAG (running boards) on my 2 Dr.
Great fit. “Seem plenty sturdy”.
Wider platform at the back for good roof access.
Easy on/off 10/15 min max.
“They are not rock sliders if there are assumptions they are “

Well I ended up ordering the IAG long steps, should be here in the next couple days.

I don’t know if you have a 2dr or 4dr but I’m selling a set that we have had installed for 3 months on our 2dr.

For anyone running these IAG full steps, do you also have mud flaps or is the step enough protection from front wheel throwing rocks at the door?

I personally added mud flaps on the front of my rig in addition to the full steps.
The two combined make it extremely protective of the doors.

The iAG are very good for what they are, but they are not rocksliders. If you're going rockcrawling, you need something heavier.

To their credit, they are very easy and fast to install on the stock (Badlands) rockrail. I can put them on, or take them off, both sides, in under ten minutes. Thus, I find them very good for daily drive, and my wife and some older people have found they make a big difference in getting in and out. They look good, too.

I took them on a Level 5 (Moab scale) trail yesterday, and definitely hit my rockrail several times. The iAGs seemed to handle whatever I was hitting well. When I got home, I stepped onto the iAG step, and felt and heard a little "clunk." I noticed the step had slid back a few inches, and the rear-most clamp was off the rockrail. No problem: I just loosen the other clamps, slide it back in position, good to go--on my daily drive.

The iAGs fulfill their design expectations superbly: a good step, easy and simple to install and remove. But they'll stay home when I do serious trail runs.

Also worth noting: iAG has superb customer support.
