A good replacement for the steps are real rock sliders, like Shrockworks.

They don't get bent, you can jack from them, and, they fend off idiot drivers who try to t-bone you or open their doors into you, etc.....plus, off road, they let you slide over rocks/protect your rocker panels....and, you can step on them.
