[QUOTE="bigrig, post: 964264, member: 11383"] Wow, sorry everyone for not responding sooner, I am not getting an email when this thread is updated. I will try respond now... === YukonJoe, I didn't see BigJ's thread before purchasing the sliders, though now that I do, I wish I did! I would have welcomed any more information before I started this project :) Here is a direct link to BigJ's thread since I think the link you provided earlier only goes to BigJ's Message Board. [URL="http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f5/sliders-skid-plates-oh-my-warning-pic-heavy-9665/"]BigJ's Slider Thread[/URL] I went with the aluminum skids. So far, I have hit them a few times and they are holding up great. When I talked to Chris at Hefty Fabworks, he said the main difference is that the steel one will slide over things better (they way you would expect steel to do over aluminum). I figured though the weight savings of the aluminum was a greater benefit over being able to slide on the skids better. I should be giving them a good test soon in Ocotillo Wells in a few weeks I will get back to you on how they perform. [/QUOTE]
