Default Sliders w/ usable step?

Well I looks like I need get a set of sliders with usable steps as the lady had a littl trouble with the lifted truck. I guess it will also make it easier to access th roof rack (once installed). I am looking a the below options, which one actually has enough nerf to be usable?

Rovertyme slider with nerf - I like the look of the round, but is a square nerf easier to step on?
TerraFirma with side tree- I can't find any reviews of these
Voyager Racks - appears to have a slight step built in
Tactical Rovers with nerf - any idea on how long these guys take to build & ship?

Any suggestions or ideas is always appreciated. I do have the plan from mike for sliders, but the local fab shop are just to expensive once I factor in powder coating.

What sort of quotes are you getting from local shops on building the set I sent you?

Between $4-600 bare, + what ever powder coating or bed liner coating would cost.

I talked to bill at rovertyme today about building me a set with larger offset step/ nerf bar area. But those are $880.

The TerraFirma ones are $660.

Ohhhh, what to do.

Hey Mate! You may want to check with Nathan and Matt at Platnium Motorsports down in LaGrange, KY. They're doing front bumpers and have just started doing sliders as well and I think they do a set with steps. I bought a winch bumper from them and am beyond pleased with it!

Parksy and Don, send me your e-mail address and I will forward the files.

As for Matt and Nate, if it is the dame group that was in Colorado that failed 2 times in the Rover bumper business, be very careful.
