Just removed running boards, now onto sliders. Lots of choices out there and prices vary greatly. Opinions please and a pic would be very helpful too? I don't wheel just very civilized forest roads etc. Thanks

Love my BudBuilts, but as stated they are heavy and cost $400 just to get installed. But I wouldn’t want anything else due to the protection they provide.
Metal tech runs a black Friday special, every year. not sure if the sliders are in that offering. you can save up to 15-20% off - @helocat are the sliders included in the black Friday deal?Metaltech4x4 I just went to order your sliders. Cool product, but when shipping is over $400 (40+/- % of the product cost), it is a deal killer.

IMHO, to give you a visual, this is where BudBuilt has a big edge on the competition. The solid 1 piece mounting plate stretching the whole length of the frame rail. Also, it has, count them...7 cross supports. Compare this to something like the Metlatech that has only 2 small cross supports and 2 small points of contact with the frame. I'm sure Metaltech or any of the other major players are tested to handle the weight of this truck, but i just really like the mounting design that BudBuilt went with better. The full length frame mount is also what makes the install a pain, as all the KDSS stuff needs to be moved out, so the BudBuilt plate can slide behind, and then re-attached back outiside the plate. This is the reason also though they don't require any drilling, since it's the full length they could match up with existing frame holes. Everybody else's aprpoach is to make 2-3 small mounting plates, avoid the KDSS, and just drill holes. Like i said, any of the major players I'm sure are fine, just thought I'd show a visual where they are different with Bud.
