My wife wants nerf bars to help her getting in /out of the H3 and I can't question any purchase that is pre-approved by my wife...but do those with nerf bars really use them to step up into the vehicle? I was looking at other H3's with them and it doesn't seem like they would help that much - you still have to step up pretty high. I'm am getting the stainless one with black step pad, but want to make sure they work for the wife. Any thoughts?

If you have them, you use them.  Either that or you will trip over them.  They obviously work as many people install them.  While it's true they don't change the step height considerably, sometimes it those extra inches that make the difference between easy access and practising for the olympics!  And if the wife is complaining, then by all means, get them!!!

ABSOLUTELY! I could not even climb up into mine without those step assists and not look like a total clutz. They are a must for me since I wear skirts/dresses/heels regularly and am climbing in and out of my H3 numerous times a day and in front of other people.  It just makes getting in much easier for all concerned. Beware of heels slipping off - in otherwords tell her to make sure she judges where she puts her foot if she is wearing heels.  They also add to the appearance (having som sort of step assist whether rockers or tubulars) so why not have them?

I do not use it when climbing in/out but I am 6' tall; My wife uses them regularly when climbing into the passenger side.  she is 5'5 and finds them to be invaluable.  If I could do it all over however, I'd get the rock sliders with the removable steps.  I think that it gives the H3 a nice look and would be more functionable for both on/off road use.

Just gave me a funny script in my head. Is this from personal experience?

LOLOL, sugar apparently you missed my previous post under my Opinions thread so in answer to your question I have pasted it below....and yes. I am speaking from experience!
 
 
LOL Tex & ZYNE while it looks good...there will be NO jackin up of the ride!  Considering I climb into it daily with 4-5 inch heels and a skirt (spiked heel fell off the step assist once as I was climbing in <LOL> and I about fell out the door on my  (_(_) as well as twisted my ankle badly and I feel quite sure my skirt was up around my neck and I hope NO ONE was looking and LTAO!!! LOL)...not to mention some of my clients already can't figure out how to climb up into it (for some reason ??? she is a bit higher already then some of the H3's that I looked at on the lot while shopping.)

If you have kids it is a MUST...My 4 and 6 year old had major difficulty prior to the steps.

Have them and use them regularly.  I'm not that tall myself and find that I'm using them all the time now.  The wife loves them.  One of the wife's requirements when purchased

Yes Yes!! by all means get them! I was suffering for 2 months before I put them on. It really helps getting in and out and it adds a great look. My H3 will be complete when I get the roof rails and a front brush guard - next on the agenda...

Great. It's a done deal.  Thanks for the feedback. I like the point about washing the roof.

If you plan on offroading don't get them. Go with the rock rails with removable steps. Take a look at this video...the reason the guy gets stuck is because of those nerf bars. They lower your breakover angle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOO-_0NMQNQ

I hate the nerf bars and wish I could take them off, but my wife is 5'2" tall and uses them all the time. She actually carries around a broom stick to knoock the slush and salt off of the step before she gets out of the truck But it could be worse, I have to carry a two step folding ladder in my dodge for her to get in
