The instructions are terrible. Parts do not match pictures. How is the led light bracket supposed to mount? The instructions show the bracket being mounted to the front side of the pivot arm, but the brackets included are twice as wide and have two mounting slots.
For the AMP Research PowerStep XTreme, those wider brackets with the two mounting slots actually get sandwiched directly into the upper body mount/linkage mounting bolts against the pinch weld/body interface rather than mounting standalone to the front of the pivot arm.

Specifically:
On the front linkage, slide the light mounting bracket into the rearward mounting hole slot.
On the rear linkage, slide it into the forward mounting hole slot.

The two slots are designed to give you some wiggle room to align everything cleanly alongside the body. Once you sandwich the bracket using those upper body mount bolts/washers before fully tightening down the linkage, the LED light itself will click right onto that tab.
Do these require the frame support or "crash bracket" to be removed?
No, the standard AMP Research PowerStep XTreme kit for the Wrangler JL does not require the factory frame support or crash bracket to be removed.
WHAT IS THE DROP OF THE ACTUAL STEP
12 inches from the door sill to the step pad surface.

How can these be made to work if the doors are removed?
An override switch is offered and sold separately. Thanks for you inquiry.
Can these be installed with the factory Rubicon rock rail?
No, they cannot. Sorry for the inconvenience.
