I looked into something like this, but the torque box prevented me from using it because there was no room behind the rocker to hide the mechanism. I went with a permanently mounted step.

I've always wondered what the purpose of those boxes were. Anyone know? Surely you can fab something up where those steps can be mounted. I think they're awesome, like the best of both worlds. Expensive but awesome.

Torsion boxes. Provide support for the body, especially when doors are open. Too bad gm didn't use full box frame, instead of C channel, so they wouldn't be needed. These steps or competing styles should be fairly straight forward to modify to work on the blazer/Jimmy.
