    So I have an 09 regular cab with a spacer lift sitting on 285's. I'd like to buy a set of sliders so I can utilize a hi-lift jack in the event of a flat. Not to mention the added benefit that they look bad a$$. My question is with all the options of bolt on sliders, who's set up is the best?

    There's not a definitive answer to this question. There are many vendors on here that build solid bolt on sliders. I only have experience with BAMF and Demello Offroad and I think they're both excellent products.

    Best for using a hi-lift jack and looking "bad a$$"? Wow, that's an intriguing and difficult to answer question. Let me think................ Okay, got it. Any bolt on slider ever frikkin made anywhere out of any kind of metal. Pro tip, use sparkle paint for extra bad a$$.

    Bolt on sliders won't work with a spacer lift and you can't use a high lift Jack on the street it will ruin the concrete and potentially incur large fines for destruction of public property

    it will work fine with a spacer lift.... i think your thinking of a body lift.

    And just use a piece of wood under the high lift and you will be fine.

    I make regular cab sliders as you can see on my avatar pic. That's my regular cab in the pic. Many vendors make sliders, most don't for regular cab due to small demand. I can confidently say we make the strongest full bolt ons out there. Check out our Web page to see why.

    That looks awesome!!!! I was just planning on rattle canning my sliders when I get them but I may have to rethink that seeing yours. How much did the LineX run you for the set?

    I doubt any. Our sliders for that configuration weigh 150 lbs with all hardware.

    You guys are def at the top of my list of sliders. It's going to be a little bit before I make my purchase.

    You will likely be happy with any bolt on slider. I've dropped my DCLB on my bolt on sliders 3-4 times now as well as using the slider for a high jack point to lazy rotate my tires. They hold up fine. I got mine from Demello though I'm sure any reputable company can build you something you'll be happy with.

    Yeah I was thinking about hitting it up with some rhino liner or something similar.
