A vehicle rocker assembly includes one or more of a sill outer or a sill inner to define an elongated hollow interior. The vehicle rocker assembly also includes a stiffening member disposed within the hollow interior. The rocker insert includes a first stiffening member having a top wall, a bottom wall, and a side wall. The rocker insert also includes a second stiffening member including a plurality of wall sections that each include an upper portion engaged with the top wall and a lower portion engaged with the bottom wall at a location spaced along the length of the rocker insert from the upper portion. The top and bottom walls of the first stiffening member are configured to be supported by the second stiffening member when undergoing the inboard lateral impact force to increase lateral bending strength of the rocker insert.
