    I don't know. I'm just a big fan of kickouts, I guess.

    Yes,
    Hi there. Just my two cents, I wouldn't buy sliders frem ebay. There is no telling who made them. So, the quality is definitely in question. Shop around, there are vendors on TW that sell all different kinds sliders from weld on to bolt on with all other kinds of options. I have bolt on from www.shrockworks.com here in houston. I actually got to check them out before i purchased. Good luck with the find!

    SOS Concepts hands down. I had them on my truck. Make sure you actually need/use them instead of just buying for looks. I thought I was going to use them. turned out to be just a paper weight. Eddy makes some nice shit.

    X2 on not getting those. Shop around - there are a million companies that make sliders for our trucks. SOS is great, as others have mentioned. Your price range is realistic - just shop around and look at different vendors.

    Can you guys school some of us newer members on the advantages of weld on versus bolt on sliders? My truck is stock for now. At what point in your own personal wheeling history did you decide it was time for sliders?

    I am thinking about selling my running boards and getting some weld on sliders. Does welding void anything on the warranty?

    So my guess is corrosion protection and frame. If that is the case I live in AZ rust isn't an issue and I wouldn't think welding would weaken the frame like bolting would. I could be wrong.

    Bolt on Vs. Weld on -Bolt on are easier by far to remove for maintenance. Weld on can't be removed unless you weld or have a buddy that does.
