    So. Many. Stickers.
    A classic argument.

    I've got RCI angled, keeps too many people from mucking about on the truck too.

    If you don't get step plates (many manufacturers offer them) deff put 3M (or similar) traction tape where you step.

    Also, factory/manufacturer powder coat. It's worth the coin.

    Another point, make sure what you're getting has either angled or rounded endcaps so you don't hang up between the slider and your tire.

    Final point, sliders are worth it. Here's me changing a tire, using the sliders as a "jack point"

    Are you going to get into hard core rock-crawling, throw a long-travel and fit some 37's on your truck? If the answer is yes then get angled. Any other answer get 0* sliders. It's nice having a step and the difference in protection from door dings is great. The difference is ability in most offroading situations is negligible for what 99% of the people on this site do.

    They have both. I chose to go bolt on.

    angled up is far better if you like to offroad and have a sleeker look. Getting out of a muddy truck and realizing you got mud all over the back of your pants is a really annoying problem with 0 degree rock sliders/side steps. But if you have kiddos or a shorter wife or you need side steps then the 0 degrees would be best
