    I am wondering which bolt on sliders everyone thought would look best on my truck. I am looking for one that could double as a step if needed and were sturdy enough that I could use it as a jack point. Thanks! Any suggestions on tires and other mods are greatly appreciated. I was thinking about some oem roof rails cut to fit??

    Thinkin sliders and rails like this? Although I was also looking at the slee slider/step

    Pretty much any bolt on or weld on sliders will do fine for steps. It is more of an aesthetic value for you. There is a difference for offroad protection though between them depending on how hard you wheel.

    I don't wheel super hard but I wheel a little bit. I'm too worried about that drop diff to wheel too hard. I don't plan on dropping the truck onto any rocks but sliding into them or catching them is what worries me. But if I ever did slip off a rock and land on a rock I would want to be protected.

    Drop diff? Like a differential drop I take it? But why you have it?

    Do you have to have a diff drop with that kit or is it optional?

    Sadly it is necessary but I love the lift besides that

    I like them but I'm not a huge fan of how the square tube looks in combination. It just doesn't look quite right to me... But maybe I'm being too picky
