    I really think you need a light bar and bed rack Bill. They will compliment your sliders nicely. :anonymous: :eek:

    On to the question at hand. I am impressed with my BAMF sliders and highly recommend them. Jerry was a pleasure to work with.

    Already have a light bar. You never saw the pictures? Check out my gallery. As for a bed rack, that is coming soon enough. Sliders are the next project, along with under-armour.

    IMHO look at shipping as an expense as well.. all vendors that are on TW are good... it comes down on to what you want out of them and how close to the body line.. sit down and crunch the numbers of what you want and how much it will cost to get shipped... painted..ect. I can speak for BAMF and SOS concepts.. very personable companies... will do anything to make things right for you...

    Slider less. Because the dent in my bedside says I'm a cool kid :D lol jk my vote would be for 4x. No offense to anyone but I'm not made of many so the price is a big factor and although I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for but from what I've seen this isn't the case. I know of someone who has 4x and seems to stand by them and from what I've seen he wheels them hard.

    I'm not eliminating looking at shipping costs. Not at all. I am looking for the best sliders I can get within reason, that do what I need them to do: Protect my truck. Once I get it down to say the top 3, I will then check with each builder to look at options I want to see, and the shipping costs.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    I say go for a hybrid weld on slider with a DOM outer rail kick or non kick is personal preference really. Any slider with those specs will do you just fine for just about any wheeling you can put them through.

    I have the Brute Force. I have never had them hang up on anything. Also I use them and they take one hell of a beating.

    Famous Fabrication FTW! Too bad Derek isn't fabricating anymore. The best I've personally experienced (but I've never seen BAMF beyond TW). Love the bolt on gusset; can't screw up the placement, perfect fit, bolts can be stronger than welds, and they can be removed if need be. Much to love

    I voted All-pro, i love my APEX series, my beef was the mounts plates, but the actual sliders are perfect for what i wanted.

    I voted CBI, love mine. I opted to pick mine up direct at the shop. Super customer service - they agreed to meet me on a Saturday (outside of their regular business hours), helped me load everything up and got a quick tour of the place. Very happy overall.

    Anyone complaining about things arriving damaged from the shipping company the rule is simple: inspect the item(s) and if there is any damage what so ever REFUSE THE DELIVERY, do not let the driver leave the item in your possession. If you refuse to sign for it then they have to take it back immediately and there is no charge to you for any return shipping - it is strictly between the seller and the shipping company. End of story. And give the shipping people a break - sliders, bumpers, etc are big and heavy and awkward. They're going to get roughed up a bit regardless of which company is used.

    4xInnovation gets my vote. That's what I have and that's what I'm sticking with. DOM with kickout for $310 shipped when I was still living in socal. Not to mention Adam is a great guy to deal with and has great customer service.
