    Truck stuff
    Highlift will not support the truck with those. Need to connect to the frame to safely use a high lift.

    Another option is RCI Metalworks. They're up in Fort Collins (I drove up from Monument to pick up mine) and would help you save when it comes to shipping. Plus, they make amazing quality stuff!

    Yeah now that I looked at the pics of how they actually attach I'm thinking they're not as good of a buy.

    These are nerf bars, not sliders - they connect to the body vs the frame, no supported load on these.

    Yeah I wouldn't get these for actual sliders. But good for protecting against door dings. lol

    Looks like you responded at the same time I did, but honestly if somebody just wanted nerf bars these are a pretty decent buy.

    Yeah I probably should have quantified it. I want sliders because I want something where I can buy a hi-lift and jack one side up at a time because I am a lazy piece of crap. :rofl:

    they're side steps that look like sliders.

    put a hi lift on it and you'll just have body damage from ripping the step off.

    They bolt onto the OEM spots on the cab not the frame so I wouldn't trust them for actual slider use. Also, while I have been very impressed for the price they do offer a discount for a positive review (though Amazon just banned this for all products so not sure if they still offer it).

    I had a slight alignment issue where the passenger side is slightly higher in the back but it's not really noticeable and not worth taking them off and putting them back on again to see if it's manufacturer or install. They have held up very well so far for my mall crawling :laugh:.

    I went with C4Fab(their info is in the Vendor forum). Not cheap, but extremely sturdy & I love the look. Relatively easy install & quick response to any questions.

    Those ship bare right? Did you paint them or did you have someone paint them? What color did you use on those? Is it just a flat black? I'm diggin' the way yours came out...

    I just installed these steps yesterday, they're about 45 pounds each and feel very sturdy. They're held on by 8 bolts each, pretty happy with them.

    Yeah, they are shipped bare. Had them powdercoated(color is Satin) except for the step plates which I primered using self etching primer, then top coated with flat black. I figured the step plates would be easy to touch up if necessary, but if the paint doesn't hold up well on the step plates, I'll get them powdercoated, also.

    Those are only steps, and not sliders. They would not hold up to rock crawling. They would be OK for door ding protection.
