Purchased a '22 Badlands with SAS that has the rock rails.

Which step bars is recommended that work well with the rock rails?

There are a dozen choices from cheap painted steel to expensive billet aluminum. Do you want full length or small individual? I bought 4 cheap individual that easily come off by loosening 2 thumb screws. I think they were $60 a pair on Amazon.

I like the small ones.

IAG and Broaddict on amazon are what
Iv come down to but are the IAG worth twice the price?

If you will actually be on trails with rocks of any size, you’ll want to avoid the design in the pic Fordified provided. Those will get beat up fast and possibly hang up the Bronco. Some legit rock sliders are shaped so you can also use them as a step.

The IAG ones at least will simply come off. I've been off roading with someone that has the long 4dr ones and several times he forgot to take them off, they came off, then he just put them back on.

Not when they are removed which is why I bought those. I can have all four off in 2 minutes. It may look like one now, but it’s not a mall crawler. Lol

The good thing about the little ones is they fit in the back of the truck.

I have the small IAG v2's (which are a little lower) and they're pretty well made.

My opinion is the Chinese ones are probably a copy of the IAG. IDK anything about Broaddict.

The ones I got from Mabett are all aluminum and they are terrific. I looked for a very long time, particularly at IAG. Everyone seemed to have corrosion issues, some severe. The Mabett ones are very robust; better steps than anyone except OEM.

There was an issue with the powdercoat on the first batch of IAQ V2 steps? They were replacing them and I think that's been resolved.

Without question, IAG customer service has been outstanding while dealing with the step issues. But at the end of the day the Mabett version is just so much better. IMHO.
