Good luck with that! I pulled mine off a couple of months ago and it's an argument every time we go somewhere together... I'm saving up for some sliders to calm the anger, haha!
I'm having the same issue! I told my wife I thought about removing my running boards and she threatened to never ride in it if I did (lol). She and other small children/adults we lug around have quite a tough time climbing inside as-is, but it's more of an issue with our moms (more concerned about them). I noticed that a lot of the aftermarket sliders out there are tucked up pretty high. Any sliders out there that are step-friendly front and rear for the vertically challenged?
We have two little ones in car seats and my wife is 5'3".
After lifting, 315s, and no running boards... she requested sliders that could be used as steps.
I found a White Knuckle DIY slider kit for $125 and a buddy in Austin helped me weld them up.
They were set up with low pitch so she could use them as steps. Our three year old is able to use it to comically climb in the back on his own.
