I hope this helped....
thanks for the info!

I'm not too fond of drilling into the tub but I've heard that's the best method of protection with good rails.

On the other hand, the price might be a little too much for now...I'm one of those lucky federal workers working for free right now.

ACE makes great products and customer service, I have their bumpers. My only concern is the body mount for the sliders, so I am looking at the LoD as well.

I got white knuckle sliders. Bolt to the frame and can be used as a high lift point. They do stick out as much as the stock fenders but it makes for a nice step.

That does look pretty clean.

Those are different...I've never heard of VKS.

Did you drill through your door handles? I like the look!

I have the smittybilts and they work awesome as a step. Unfortunately they suck for clearance. I'm changing over to the LOD sliders.

I found these, and they work much better for the purposes of a step.
