Skid Plates:
You know the drill. Steel if you use them lots, aluminum if you don't rely on them. I would recommend getting a lower link skid if you like wheeling on rocks, that is one point that seems to get held up the most along with the gas tank.

- Replaces stock running boards in favor of a beefy steel tube that either bolts to the frame or is welded directly to the frame.
- Can help protect your body from rocks, trees, stumps, and the occasional door ding from an adjacent car in the mall parking lot.
- Some manufacturers include an option for a 'kick-out' which can help distance your body from an obstacle when the slider is rubbing against it.
- Tube Construction:
- HREW Tubing (Hot Rolled Electric Welded): Mild steel with a yield strength of around 40ksi. Will hold up to moderate use but will dent with heavy abuse.
- DOM Tubing (Drawn Over Mandrel): Starts out like HREW but gets cold drawn over a mandrel which produces a more consistent and stronger tube. Yield strength is around 70ksi which means it is stronger and a better option if you frequent boulder fields.
Youtube video showing the difference between tubing construction.
- Bolt-on vs Weld-on:
- I've never heard of anyone shearing a bolt on bolt-on sliders so as far as strength goes they are both equally sufficient.
- Bolt on sliders can be removed and easily repainted once you get rock chips or boulder scrapes on them but they occasionally have fitment/compatibility issues until the manufacturer works out all the 'kinks'.
- Weld on sliders can be welded wherever you want, which is great for guys with body lifts. But to touch them up with paint on your truck requires a bit of creativity.
