Question Passenger inside help handle

My wife wants me to put a handle on the inside passenger side to help her get up in my truck. Any suggestions besides getting a taller wife? ( had this one for 32 years and have gotten used to her)

1997 F-250

How about some of the handles that you attach to the pillar?
Also step boards are nice too. I have a 5' wife as well and she uses them both.

I installed a handle on the p/ side A pillar for wife. Purchased handle for a '04 Expedition (silver interior color matched). Cut two holes in A pillar trim, drilled holes in A pillar to except nuts, removed trim, mig welded in nuts, replaced trim with small rubber shims behind trim, and bolted on handle. Looks factory. Hope this helps.
