    Mobtowns seem to be the most thought out- I went with theirs

    Consider BAMF as well.

    I second mobtown as they have recently updated their design due to a slight fitment issue. Three of my buddies have theirs with no problems, granted they are the local fabber for us so it was an easy decision. I personally have demello's rock crusher sliders that are great as well if you prefer a boxed design over a tubular one although they took about 4 months to get here.

    Just installed all pro apex and even though they are stout they were a pain in the ass for "bolt on" sliders. Additionally I have yet to be able to solve the drivers side brake line issue so currently don't have all the bolts in. Also you will be drilling 5 holes per side through double thick frame. It is a complete pain in the ass....

    I assume your sliders are possible to have 8 points to bolt on? My demello ones have it optional to drill out three extra holes on the bottom of the frame and the holes closest to the front are a pain like you said due to double the thickness. I ended up carefully moving my brake lines around and unclipping them from the frame clips to maneuver my tools around. With them being metal copper there is some give if you are careful. I assume you tried unbolting the brake lines up front by the little clip first right?

    taking the brake lines out is not the issue, it is that the bolts go in the holes that were previously occupied by the brake line tabs. I am not going to be driving around with free floating hard brake lines. That is just asking to trouble. Trying to devise a solution, but yeah I don't have to drill everything out, but if done can be used as a jack point.

    Damn brother I got ya now. I believe my first bolt hole on my drivers side had this. I ended up unclipping my brake lines and making a shallow bend just enough to clear the bolt. I guess I was lucky though as I had around 5/8" of an inch to move them. I agree with ya, did the manufacturer have any recommendations for this?

    I only have 7 of the 8 bolts on the driver side... it's enough. I'm pretty sure the slider will rip apart before the one extra bolt would come into play. I just didn't like the flex of the slider due to the C channel frame.

    All-pro is 1/8" DOM piping while mobtown I know is .120 DOM. As long as it's DOM you will be fine with whichever brand. I recommend a bump out on the sliders because it has saved my rear fender twice with 1 tree and 1 rock.

    I'd either go with mob town or all pro. I did all pro mainly because they seemed to sit higher and were a bit lighter than mob town. If you want fully bolt on go mob town. They are definitely well built. Then there's also lead time which was big for me.

    The bump is also super helpful if you have a rtt and use it for a step to open the windows and what not.
