Mine act as side bars and stone deflectors. The front tyres used to take all the paint off the rear guards, and I had to respray the front of them with body deadener every 12 months.

Now with these side bars / deflectors it keeps virtually everything off the rear guards and they still look pretty good.

The side steps are strong enough to stand on. I got away with no top brace because I have 4 smaller braces underneath going down to the floor pan. The 2" lift kit gave the room needed for this.

you can kinda see the braces here;


and you can see the steps are the width of the front and rear guards. They are pipe frame with thin aluminium checker plate on top.
