    So I purchased a set of Bilstein 5100's a couple of weeks ago and finally got them installed by my local shop today. I picked my truck up and my wife got into the truck and she wasn't happy. She is "vertically challenged" and isn't happy when she has to climb into the truck. For me the 3" lift is good but she doesn't like it. I don't have any nerf bars or sliders on my truck and that makes it difficult for her.

    So....

    I need to purchase a set of sliders ASAP (I prefer the look of sliders over nerf bars). I looked a few places and they are out 4-5 weeks. That makes for a long time for me to be on the couch!

    Anyone know of a good quality bolt on slider that is in stock? I know, I know I should have ordered them 3 weeks ago when I was looking for them but I thought I could get by without them.

    Help!

    I dont think a set of sliders will be the fix. She needs something with an actual step down. I have Avid step bars and the wife likes them. (3inch lift also)

    To avoid any more time on the couch I will avoid showing her this post. Although your post might qualify for response of the year! :D

    OME all around. SPC UCA. This and that.
    Funny but I actually saw an older couple getting into a Lifted Ford F250. The order lady opened the door and pulled out one of these without all the stupid colors, It had a string attached to it and she used it to get in the truck and then pulled it up with the string. Cute as hell.

    Also, I am 5'4" well 5'3.5" now that I am 41 and I can feel her pain.
