After looking at everyone's pics last night of how some removed their lower steps and replaced them with their own design, I decided to modify mine.
I simply drilled holes one inch down and 3/8" closer. I then cut the bracket to fit the upper slide bar and bolted them back in.
Not a super big difference but you can tell they are in there tighter. Looks much better to me and I can still use them.

Glad it works out for you guys. If I knew it would have made that much difference, I would have done it sooner.

I just bought my first H2 last week and was telling the wife tonight how I didn't like side bars so low. Your's now look like they should from the factory! Thanks for the next mod and the best part, it won't cost anything but time. I know you said you have a Fabtech lift, how high and what size tires? It look good, nice work!

I think I am going to do this to mine. This is a good idea as they are too low. I really want the Amp power steps, but have to wait until I get caught up on bills first.

Though I don't have a side by side pic, you can get an idea of how much difference it makes.
