Rock Slide Eng. Powersteps mounted with a body lift?
- Thread starter shadowman
- Start date
They are the RSE power steps that bolt to the body then have brackets that connect to the body mount bolts the 3 per side.
once bolted to the body the brackets will then be 11/4" higher than the body mount bolts.
I already have a body lift installed, that's why im having an issue..ugh
Thanks for the reply,

I installed them on my JLU and looking at the JKU, the body lift pucks would sit on top of the brackets, what model Jeep are you putting them on?
can you post a pic?
maybe some round solid spacers with longer bolts? something like this:

Cool, how are you liking the steps?
I'm thinking the step brackets might possibly sit on top of the lift pucks, but I'm not sure how that will work. It wont be as solid as being attached to the puck bolt at the bottom. Probably need longer bolts like you mentioned.

Not a fan of these steps. Almost everyone I've seen is either broken in the down position or wired up. I'm assuming its from the salt and sand on utah roads in the winter getting into the mechanism. I also assume it's not from trail damage since they're on mall crawlers.

ahh doh, I understand your dilemma, the pinch seam mounting bolts place it too high.
If it were me, I'd mount to the pinch seam then use spacers for the RSE bolts to the brackets
Or remove the body lift.
I like them, took a little to get the sensor magnets just right but now they work like a charm.
The way they swing out, I remind passengers to wait, especially rear seat passengers since it's pendulum like .

yeah, I can see how salt and sand can muck them up in a hurry and would require more maintenance during winter to keep the mechanism clear.
there's not much to protect the motor from the elements
Yep you got it
I was thinking about removing the body lift like you mentioned, maybe I will since it would be an easier install.heard there is a little delay when deploying, definitely important to mention to passengers, thanks!
They will require maintenance for sure like you mentioned, winter is the worst ugh

Man that’s a bummer to hear. Having installed a couple of them, they have always seemed to be great quality steps and haven’t had any come back with issues. Hope it’s gets resolved sooner than later.
