Rub rail? You mean the part that's supposed to contact the rocks, so you can pivot on them? That shouldn't bend, in my opinion. Maybe if you got T-boned, but not as a result of a soft roll. Maybe that's the way companies make sliders, but the ones I and others I know have built certainly wouldn't bend from contact with a rock. I'm not trying to rag on Metal Tech, but that would be unacceptable on my rig. The slider shouldn't bend, it should hold the truck off the rock, and perhaps keep you from rolling in the first place.
