Frame mounted rock sliders

[leaffan1988]

I had my eye on Smittybilt SRC rock sliders that mount to the frame. But they replaced the SRC with Apollo and I'm not a fan of the look.
I found rough country sliders are fram mount but it doesn't cover the pinch welds like SB. And the RC is tucked in more which is good for ground clearance, but offers less parking lot protection.

RC is $250-500 cheaper than SB in Canada, so that almost makes the decision for me. But body damage can be 10x this.

Does anyone have any feedback on the RC coverage compared to SB? Any other models I should consider?
Protection is primary. Steps are a bonus but not essential.

I bought the LOD destoyers and they are frame mount. I have not installed or tested them. I looked at the RC too and decided the function and features of the LOD are worth the $400 price difference. Northridge 4x has a really good price right now.

Funcion and features = pinch welds coverage and a step with traction?

Yes, the LoD Destroyer series sliders hide the pinch seem pretty good and they have steps with traction.

I got the LOD armorlite witch are aluminum (destroyer are steel) and the extra steps that go on and off easily. I just put them on last week, took about 2 hours by myself. So far so good

Sorry, yes to both and the step is a little lower for the wife, 5'5".

Just installed my LOD Destroyers and @Northridge4x4 had a 15% discount last week when I bought them. Straight forward install for the diesel, gasser will take a little for time (drill and tap holes) but both have to to cut a bracket on the passenger side.

I did the same to the diesel and remember to use the shims if needed. I installed the pax side 3x before I remembered there are shims.
