No, The material is still crazy thin. Youd just dent and smash them if you really slid on them .

The Predators are thin aluminum, and have nowhere near the strength of steel sliders. They are also bolted into the body, not the frame. Sliders are bolted or welded to the frame. Waste of time.

Is that the objective? I would think R&R with a product designed to be rock sliders and sell the predators would be a better solution...

They will become one with your body on the first good hit. There is a big difference in structural design between purpose built sliders and step rails.
