Rock Slide Engineering is a US manufacturer based in North Logan, Utah, in business since 2004. The brand made its name with the patented Step Slider – a steel rock slider that deploys into a powered step the moment you open the door. Everything is engineered, laser cut, welded and powder coated in-house in the USA.

Rock Slide Engineering – rocker protection and an easy step in one part

Rock Slide Engineering is an American engineering and manufacturing company from North Logan, Utah, founded in 2004. It started from a simple observation: a lifted 4x4 on oversized tyres needs serious rocker protection, but people still have to climb into it comfortably. Instead of choosing between the two, Rock Slide combined them in a single product – and patented it.

Step Slider – the patented rock slider with a powered step

The brand's flagship product is the Step Slider: a full-strength rock slider built from laser-cut steel (10–11 gauge depending on the application) that automatically drops a step 12 inches (30 cm) when the door opens and retracts under the body when it closes. Each side carries up to 650 lbs (approx. 295 kg), and the internal components are made from stainless steel and aluminium to resist water, salt and mud.

• Smart motor technology with a sleep mode that limits battery drain.
• No gas struts – removed in the latest generation in favour of a more durable drive system.
• Stand-alone wiring harness – no splicing, no rewiring, no loss of factory warranty.
• Factory mounting points – a no-drill installation.
• Textured black powder coat applied on the manufacturer's own automated line.

Owners of lifted Wranglers and Gladiators appreciate it most: kids, passengers and dogs get in without gymnastics, and on the trail the step tucks away, leaving a slider that protects the body from rocks.

Built entirely in-house in the USA

Rock Slide Engineering does not outsource production. The company has grown from a 4,000 sq ft shop to a facility of over 80,000 sq ft, equipped with fibre laser cutters, an automated AMADA line, press brakes, welding cells, and its own parts washing and powder coating systems. The entire process – from steel sheet to boxed product – happens under one roof in Utah. Hence the consistent "Made in the USA" on every product.
