    My wife already has a more difficult time getting into the truck with the 2" lift. I'd like to get sliders next, but don't want to make it even more difficult for her if I can prevent it.

    Can you guys recommend a slider that doesn't stick out as far as some of the others? Is there some that stick out more that I can eliminate?

    I may jump on the Demello sale, but time is limited!

    Thanks!

    My kids were having a hard time getting in my truck too, I have a 2.5in lift in the front and an AAL I the rear. My 4 year can now get in easier and my 2 year can get in on her own now, she couldn't before. These are bolt on SOS Concept Sliders with the kickout. Eddie has other options too.

    My wife has a hard time getting into my truck with the Toyota step bar that came with the truck which is fairly worthless, my truck isn't lifted yet. I want to lift and replace the bar with sliders from BAMF, hopefully adding the kickout will help the kids as well.

    I use mine as a step, probably not necessary, but it keeps me from sliding down the seat bolster. Tell her to step on them.

    I put grip tape on them, they do get slick when wet.

    I used Bed Liner in a can then went over them with simi gloss black, they have a decent amount of texture without being to rough.

    Good idea using hem as a step and putting grip tape on them. Maybe instead of looking for the ones that stick out the least, I need the ones that stick out the most :)

    SOS is high on my list of possibles.

    I think the SOS sliders look fantastic. If only they had affordable shipping to CA

    If you're still looking for sliders, I'd be happy to get you some measurements on our sliders. We also can build them so they angle up or down, to your specifications.

    Let me know how we can help you!
