    I thought I seen it posted but can’t find it again. What’s the measurement from frame to most outer edge of the 25* sliders (not the back/kickout side but more near the middle/front doors)?

    Thank you

    None, from the install vids I've seen. 100% bolt-on.

    The benefit of the kick-out seems positive to me... But can someone please comment on the flat vs angle perspective? - this is not clear to me.

    It seems this would reduce access as a step BUT then also raise the height of the obstacle that would eventually hit the slider... but does this not then further expose the steel that connects the slider to the chassis resulting in a hang-up rather than a 'slide'??

    Thanks in advance.

    0 degree is flat
    Does work better as a step (kind of), if you are tall, you end up having to step over it and not on it. If you are short, perfect.
    0 degree also offers better door ding protection.
    Doesnt particularly impeded with the sliding over obstacles.
    5 to 20 degree angle just tucks it more into the rocker panel, this keeps the narrow profile without having to really have an awkward way of getting in and out.

    The kick out looks cool from overhead.

    Do the kick out. Off road or parking decks, they keep youR sheet metal out of harms way. Most recent save by my @Mobtown Offroad sliders was from a concrete pillar in a too tight garage. 1 foot of Slider scratch vs. thousands in body damage. Money well spent.
