i got 6" lift with 3" body and 38s my wife is 5'4" also so when she gets in my truck i either grab her by her jeans and nicely throw her up in the truck or she has a bucket with a rope on it.

     you could always build you a custom set if you are good with a welder.

I really wanted to do a set of the AMP Research Power Steps on my '91 Crew, but then I realized that the fuel tanks are in the way of the steps retracting!  :(

Not sure what to do now.  I really like the look of the truck without anything hanging down, but I am in the same boat in that my wife is short and I have to grab her a** to get her in.  Not normally a problem, but she gets a little self conscious when other people are around.
