Just got my '22 Power Wagon. I'm putting a Carli Suspensions Pintop system on it, which says it has a front lift of 2" and rear lift of 1" relative to a stock power wagon. I'm also putting 37" tires on, which should I believe will add about 2" more, for a total of 4" up front and 3" in the back. Currently I have no rails/sliders/boards/steps on the truck. I'm looking at getting White Knuckle sliders.

Does anybody know what the height difference is in inches for the step up between having no steps (stepping straight into a Power Wagon) vs. having White Knuckle sliders?

I'm hoping it's at least 4" to offset the other modifications I'm making so that the step up won't be any higher (or might even be a bit lower) than the current height of stepping up into the stock truck. Thanks!

The top of the wk sliders are about 10.5” lower than the plastic sill plate in the cab.

You’s welcome!

I will say, though, after 5 years with the wk sliders and using them as steps, the paint on the rockers along the bottom of the doors is getting the **** kicked out of it a lot. Especially during ski season, getting in and out with ski boots on. There is just very minimal room to step up on them without banging the body with your shoes.

Also you can custom order them slightly wider so they make a better step

Having to wear traction cleats on your boots beats up the sills to I used bed liner too the good part is that when it gets roughed up you can just respray
