After doing the daystar body lift, I thought I would have enough room to use the OEM rock sliders as foot steps, but the extra inch between the sliders and the rocker panel isn't enough unfortunately. I was going to remove the rocker panels, but realized that would also be removing the weather stripping on the underside of the doors. Anyway, I was thinking of pulling the trigger on some rocky road sliders, but had a few questions for those of you that have them.
Does anyone happen to have a top-down sort of picture like the one for the kicker sliders? Do the regular sliders stick out as much as the kicker ones do ?(not really interested in the kicker) I'd like to be able to easily access the roof but it would be a major plus if I didn't have to hear from my wife/relatives that I need to get side steps to get in. Anyone use their rocky road sliders to get in and out regularly? Pic for reference:
I was also thinking of asking them to offset the sliders up 1 inch so their's no gap because of the 1 inch body lift. Would anyone advise against that? I haven't heard anything about them bending, so I'd assume they would be fine closer to the truck. Chances are 99% that I won't remove the body lift in the future, but on the off-chance I do, how much of a PITA would it be to relocate them 1 inch downwards?
Thanks in advance.
