    Depending on how much extra materials and if they are the hybrid style or not.

    I think $650 shipped is a fair deal. Considering Slee offroad is not rated to hold air but can, they are priced around $950. the slee sliders wouldnt come with the air fittings. However Slee's would be finished. when I priced options for my sliders(Powder coat - linex etc) it was around $150 - 200

    Being modest Air sliders for $800 finished on the truck is a good deal.

    I have read online that the "slee brand" are welded within tolerances to hold air. Thus the sliders could be used as an airtank. When I spoke to them on the phone they said they will hold air but they do not endorse that as a function for liability reasons. I do not want to speak for there company, and I suggest you do further research. I bought your sliders because in my research it was the best option for me and my needs. I think if I am doing long distance wheeling, I will be purchasing a set of your air tank sliders. For now I am extremely happy with my set.

    Also do you have a install guide on the sliders? I just need to know where to use the smaller sized washers.

    Thanks,

    Fritz

    I have never seen this thread before but I really like the idea. But I wonder, somebody smarter than me tell me why we cant buy a regular portable type air tank from Home Depot and strap it up high somewhere under the body of the truck? Seems like a decent idea. How expensive would it be to have a custom built air tank (like 6 inch diameter by 3 feet long) and mount it right on top of the frame rail. Of course I aint looked under a 2nd gen to see how big of a tank would go but yall see what Im getting at. Just a random idea off top of my head is all.
