So...when you completely stripping your rig of armor? You don't need sliders, just more lift or better driving skills.

The extra weight is really quite negligable. I cannot see a difference with the plate on/off in the amount of lift I got. I'm sure I could measure it and find a difference, but when you're talking about tenths of an inch (if that)...


For me, it comes down to protection. Slee or IPOR will cover you 99% of the time. It's that 1% that this is built towards, and I certainly like the peace of mine I have by knowing that *NOTHING* will be cracking open my t-case like an egg. Regardless of how I come down on a rock.

But to each their own.
