    Don’t mind the old timers. Probably have a harder time getting in and out than your wife. If it were up to them we would all be riding 5lug 4bangers on bicycle tires

    Like, so many.
    Honestly need pics of wife to make a judgment.

    Seriously though, step stool. I keep on for my Grandmom.

    I know, I know, but I needed a half ton.
    My wife is 5’2” as well, she complains about it every so often but she makes it happen. 95% of the time it’s just me in the truck anyways.

    My wife is 4’8”, the truck has stock suspension and steps currently, and she can get in and out fine.

    That being said she knows a lift and sliders are in the future and totally fine with them.

    I couldn’t be happier, she supports all my mods, and definitely a keeper.

    We talking about a midget? My girl is 5ft nothing and can get in with no problems. She bitches about sliders hitting the back of her legs when she gets out but I think most people do..

    She likes to tell people she is 5’4..:I think its really more that she is a clumbsy one more than her height. Making it harder makes that stand out more

    Get adjustable coilovers and a lifetime alignment package from a reputable shop. Set the coilovers at stock height. Then each month, crank the coilovers a couple of turns and realign. She won’t notice the difference and will gradually get used to the height every month without ever knowing. Then soon enough it’ll be at the lift height you want and then install rear lift to even it out. You’re welcome. :cool:

    I dislocated a disk in my back so bad that the nerve pain was going into my left testicle and limited my legs range of motion. No nerfs or anything. Granted I’m a averaged size dude, point being it could always be worst then just being short.

    Also my first idea, one of those nice step-stools they have at train stations would be perfect! I have the same problem when I have to take my parents somewhere in the truck but I have them convinced they’re shrinking!

    Slowly lift it, .5" at a time, and she'll just think she's shrinking.
