I prefer the tucked in look of angled sliders, so I opted for WKOR angled at 15°. Definitely lower profile than some of the beefier and/or flat slider options I’ve seen.

I've got the same sliders, and love them. Just enough to step on without sticking out like a full step, and the angle is great
after months of waiting!
Looking great! I am curious... do any of the slider options offer an advantage when using a high lift jack? Or are they all about the same with regard to safety/ ease of use/ strength/ etc?
Depends on brand. For example, i “think” that the SLEE one made for Lexus LX (but also compatible with LC) is made of folded steel…so, i doubt that it will be compatible with Hi-lift (Aka supporting weight of vehicle)…SLEE states that it is more of a strong step. The “regular” SLEE slider for LC is very strong and should be OK.
Budbuilt sliders can support Hi-Lift i am pretty sure.
My ARB Summit is probably somewhere b/w the extremes. ARB states that it can support weight…but i am not sure…and probably too chicken to try.

Supporting Vendor
The formed slider is more than strong enough to jack the vehicle up with a hi-lift, but my standard answer to people are that doing that is also a good way to stick your hi-lift through the door. There are actually very few real world cases where jacking a vehicle by the sliders is a good idea. Somehow it has become the internet standard for judging the strength of sliders.
White knuckle also claims to be able to support as well. ForDepends on brand.

Thanks, @sleeoffroad. Having not done this, it was one of my “safety” concerns. The sliders with an upward cant are appealing, but figured it would be difficult to accomplish jacking from that type of appendage...
I have jacked the vehicle using the White Knuckle sliders (DOM tubing) - right in the center lifting the whole side of the Land Cruiser.
Turns out this was a non-issue. I would not hesitate to use them to jack against in any situation.

The Slee LX slider is 100% a slider. And concur with @sleeoffroad - will not flinch with the weight of the truck on a hi-lift jack. Wouldn't recommend it though, it's right on the door.
I really like the Slee sliders. Aesthetics and quality are spot on for a stock (looking) rig or an all out build. I was concerned they may lose some ergonomics over the stock LX steps, but these are on point. Can't say enough good things about them. Was happy that I was able to salvage factory looking entry lighting over the aftermarket step.
Low profile really depends on angle of view.
These are full on Bud’s - largest dimensionally - but don’t really look crazy when viewed from a normal angle:
Agreed. The BB profile is a better step than any other option. I have the angled version, and they are great for kids getting in the back or getting access to the roof.
Thank you!
I don't know the answer to your questions, but you can see how the Slee sliders are attached to the frame in this thread:
Slee slider steps install notes - 2018 LC
I installed my Slee slider steps on my 2018 LC two weeks ago, and it was a good install experience. Let me answer a few questions up front that I had going into the install, and that you likely have right now if you're considering installing them yourself: 1. How many holes do I need to drill...

Metaltech4x4 lx slider ok to jack on. I don’t own a high lift, but it would be no problem
About to order sliders and doing comparisons...
What is the point of the 15° slider?
