bolt on sliders<>Worth it or Worthless

My sliders stick out beyond the body...cars opening their doors will hit my slider not my truck. Here are three photos showing how/where they bolt on. They bolt into the factory holes where steps would be mounted...If it's for trail protection I'd get the weld ons but if it's for looks, protection from door dings and use as a step I think the bolt-ons are great.

 

You can also get bolt on ones that go to the frame. They can be just as strong as welded on sliders...

 

boyd, i have a sb, no long bed,

as for the rest of the posts, besides cbi, who else makes bolt on FRAME sliders?

 

Shrockworks. Got them and really love them.
Only negative thing is the wait time. It took about 2 months for me but I'm in canada. But I'd do it over again in a second.

My dad is a retired welder with over 30 years experience and said these things are well made

 

Just to be clear, yours are not "bolt-ons" in the traditional sense of sliders. Bolt-on sliders attach to the frame. I agree with your rationale though.

I honestly think all of the quality sliders (CBI, Demello, Relentless and the new AllPros) are good. It's who you want to give your money to and who's style you like best.

I went with the AllPros. Sorry for flaunting the pics, but I want to make sure people see the quality. I powdercoated mine to match my bumpers. Diehards will advise weld-on & rattlecan, but these exceed my needs.

yeah, the new allpros def look at the least "as-good-as" any of the others. the frame attatchment piece looks legit.
and the vid sure looks like they can take it

^ does anyone in here know if the allpro bolt ons will help in both of these scenarios?

i plan on buying a set around March but live in an apt complex where door dings are all too common. with a lift, using a high lift on the sliders would make short work of any tire changing issues i may run into.

 

YES, absolutely. They clear the doors by 2".

I don't know if I would buy their older sliders, but I would jump on all-pro lt if I had a second gen after that

 

Oh i know but it still looks sick. I like the lt set up with a slight rake

 

YEAH, Im sure thats why in the new design they posted they say "new gusseted design" i guess they changed that flaw
