    Here are our 25 degree Sliders. Super low profile and tuck in your to the side of your truck. Lead time is about a week for a set and I noticed your local we can give you a great discount.

    Let me know.

    I like that design and higher degree than others offer. I can relate to what the OP is looking for. I had sliders on my last truck from a forum vendor that were great. Unfortunately I’m short and would constantly scrape my leg on the bed-lined sliders each time I got in and out of the truck.

    Do you have any photos of your sliders looking down onto the sliders with the door open? If that makes sense. Our do you know what the max distance from the frame your sliders stick out?

    You do know that I meant to say weeks.. because BAMF (and others) advertise their lead times in weeks... 10-12 is fast for a fab shop. Look at relentless, bruteforce, mob town, etc. they all vary but they all take time. good luck finding what you want.

    Why aren't you just stepping on them, instead of jumping over?

    Not that I want to see you in Heels... :proposetoast:

    Hopefully these pictures help. But these are the 25 degrees with a kick out. The huge advantage is that our lead time on sliders is about 1 week. Let me know if you need better pictures

    Maybe you should get a car now... or get 0 degree sliders. Since you wanna complain about them getting you dirty and seeing your wife hop out.. isn’t that entertaining enough? Sacrifices must be made and you my friend got your man card taken for removing the sliders. I guess we know who wears the pants in the relationship.

    How tall are you? I’m pretty short. At 5’8” I’m shorter than nearly everyone I know. My truck is lifted 3” on 33’s and I never have this issue. But I do hear this frequently, even from taller ppl. Asking just to get some insight, not to question or criticize.

    Yes that is the whole issue... got tired of scraping my pants on the rough bedliner coating. This is my daily driver but still wheel it hard on the weekends.

    I’ve only ever had that issue in the few days following a trail run before I’ve had a chance to rinse the truck. But on a daily basis this hasn’t been something I’ve experienced. I tend to not step straight to the ground. I either hop out over the sliders or I step out onto them first.

    No worries, I’m 5’7” so similarly vertically challenged. Last truck was lifted 2.5” on 33s, and current rig is a mere 1.5” over stock with 265s.

    My previous set of sliders were built at 18*. I know a lesser angle or 0* would be more ideal for a step seeing as I’m short. I just prefer the aesthetics of the closer to the body fitting steep angled sliders.

    I won’t be putting bed liner on my next set thats for sure. The Bullet liner my buddy sprayed on them was burly as hell and was honestly the main cause for the scraping to my calf’s entering and exiting the truck.
