I have the IAG full length boards on my two door. I went with the bolt on boards because it gives me more places to stand when reaching the roof, and the boards might possibly provide protection from road debris being turned up from the tires.

I'll endorse that.
aiG's powdercoating was inferior, and shopped out on the first production run: hence, the complaints about rust. They set up their own in-house powder coating, which seems to have fixed that issue.
Their customer service is superb. My early-production set got rusted because I gouged them on a rock--my fault--but they replaced them anyway. They've also sent me a few small parts, gratis: replacement bolts and the foam padding which goes between the support bracket and the rockrail. (Yes, that does deteriorate in New England weather and salted roads.)
I strongly endorse.
I also strongly endorse the full-length set, which helps prevent debris and road slush from hitting your rig--and others behind.

There are a couple of minor differences in the small steps that attach to factory rock rails. The design of the cutouts in the flat plate welded to the hoop differs between vendors. Also, the height of the hoop where it is welded to the mounting brackets differs by an inch or so. Some are welded so the top of the step plate is even with the top of the rock rail and some are welded so the bottom of the step plate is even with the bottom of the rock rail.

I have a pair of Broaddict steps on my 2 door, which are the 'lowered' version. I installed them several weeks ago, so I cannot vouch for longevity/reliability, but they make entry,/exit much better.

Shameless plug: I have a new in box pair of Broaddict steps for sale in the member marketplace. They are listed for $125, but I will take $90 plus shipping. Still trying to figure out how to edit my ad.

I bought cheap ones cause I was not sure I wanted to use the. They did get rust water spots, so I took them off and sprayed them with trim clad paint. Been perfect ever since. At some point I do intend to replace them with frame mounted rock rails, but they work great for now.

I have the aig. They are good, I think first to market. Expensive. 3 years later they are rusted.
They are great steps, but at this point others have flooded the market. I'd probably just pick up a pair of broaddict for 100$ (or less, look around)at this point. https://ebay.us/m/2yMrc1
Inexpensive, market tested. Use them until you get a feel for what you really want. I was thinking about nerf bars because old school, but then I have to remove the rock rails, which i don't want to do

$85 here https://ebay.us/m/oxH0xX
I swapped For nerf bars on 4-door 2024 badlands Sasquatch. Bent when went offroad climbing some rockies. Going back to oem rock sliders and adding removable steps
