running boards-side step rails ford exp

any body have info on running boards-side step rails 2004 ford explorer i am not sure if this option for $400.00 is worth it or i would need it to enter and exit,the vehicle am 5'8" and wife is 5'4" thanks

I think they make getting in harder....they're in the way, and who wants to step onto something that looks unsafe. Put the $400 into a Roth IRA and you'll enjoy it growing much more!

I find them nice when wearing a suit or dressed out........in blue jeans they are just in the way. My wife 5' 2" loves them!
