As you can see the slider has been hit a ton on the edge where the seam is exposed- and my seam is still perfect. So it does do the job- but 1/4" more steel and I wouldn't have to worry about it. (Note to self; test fit BEFORE powder coating). There are those who think these are overkill but I'll take any protection I can get.If you have Rubi rails I'd go for covers. But if not I'd go sliders- then covers- then diff. sliders if $$ permits.Attachment 518719Attachment 518720Attachment 518721
