Deal too good to be true??

Eh... in my 2 or 3 times being in/out of the cab since they've been in, it's made it a little, ever so slightly harder since there is ~2" further to get in the cab.

Maybe there is a learning curve if one was to use it as a step for the front doors?

 

I currently have the oem predator steps and she uses that step to get in. I don’t use them at all for myself.
Hopefully she can use the sliders to step in , otherwise I will do oem steps on her side and sliders on driverside.

 

Bumper showed up on Wed...huge box, very well packaged. Unwrapped it and reviewed the instructions, install should happen tomorrow...provided the weather holds up.

 

It kinda sucks getting in and out now right? Or maybe we’re just not used to it? On the bright side they’ll really really help with door dings.

 

Haha yeah, it's different! Although it's 100% worth the tradeoff for protection and badass looks

 

Installing mine tomorrow in my dads garage (with a waste oil heater)

 

Well, after aborting the first attempt at installation, I got the bumper on today. The instructions were generally good, the few places they were sketchy, ironically, the pics weren't good (poor contrast) making it hard to understand what I was looking for. Overall, very happy.

 

Finally had a chance to get the rock sliders installed.

 

Almost looks OEM.

I have not installed mine yet.

 

How long did the install take?

 

All fucking day. 3-4 hours of work with a lunch break in there somewhere, 45 minutes trying to get bolts started on the long plate that goes behind the frame. A floor jack and jackstands helped a lot and I only unwrapped the plastic around the bracket portion so I didn’t mess up the finish while I was installing it then I just cut it off at the end. I think that was a good move.

 

I have not unboxed mine and thinking of selling them. Wife is too short and needs a step.

 

The rock sliders were a bit of a pain to install. I eventually replaced most of the hardware with grade 8 bolts. The back bumper was pretty straight forward to install except for the latch on the drivers side gate didn't fit right until I took a grinder to it.

 

Tell her you’ll help her in like a gentleman every time

 

I would be she knows I am going to take “advantage” getting all touchy and feeling up on the lady parts .
Plus she has a bad back.

 

My brother has a lifted F350 & just keeps a cheap plastic step stool in the bed for his pregnant wife.
