Fab Four sliders VS Rock Hard

[DCPHOENIX]

Tossing up between the two.

Fab Four are cheaper which the wife likes
They’re going to be mainly used for protecting against parking lot damage. I like that the rock hard sliders (angled up) stick out 4”. Not been able to find out how far the Fab Four ones stick out but I’m assuming it’s similar.
Anyone with experience of both?

I think the fab four will be easier to install. I don't think I requires removing the dreaded body bolts.

The rock hard has a slight contour to marry up to the pinch seam and has really good fitment.

There's also the barricade enhanced which looks similar in style to the rock hard, but has a noticeable gap in the front and rear. But appears also easier to install. And less than half the price.

That being said, I like my rock hard angled up sliders and don't see any out there that I would have chosen in it's place. I bought mine way back when they were $650.

Good luck

I love my angled down Rock Hard. They are super beefy, hide the pinch seem and bolt in multiple place including the body bolts. The wife likes them as a step up as well. No regrets going with Rock Hard

Those angled downs look sweet with the lift and tires!
We won’t be lifting or getting 35’s until we wear out the current tires. That’s probably the only thing that puts me off the down angle ones - losing some clearance

You don’t actually lose any clearance. They are actually about 2” higher at their lowest point than the frame rails so the frame is going to hit before the slider. The slider protects the tub but it is far from the lowest hanging thing.

well thanks for throwing another option at me
I had no idea just how many options there are out there for this vehicle!

Thanks to @FLUndertaker for the pics. That is my determining factor in purchasing these sliders. My search is now over and I can move onto other decisions. Like, what bed sliders are you guys that have the Rock Hard sliders running that most closely match? Might as well order them both at the same time.
