I’m not knocking them. I am trying to decide on a set myself and living in San Diego I’ve got the same rocky trails. Just bent up my factory engine skid today but it’s still pretty okay...
For sure, I didn’t think you were. I read hundreds of posts and opted for aluminum due to other weight I’ll be adding in roof rack and front bumper soon. I’ll put them through the paces and report back. Worst case I beat the crap out of them and order steel. Lol
Nice man, going to be an awesome looking and performing truck when you get everything on it.
Good choice on the Aluminum vs Steel for now. If you find that you need more protection then get the steel later on. It's not that much $$ down the road if you feel you need it and are wheeling your truck as hard as you will need to justify steel.
I personally got steel from the start because I wasn't as concerned with my MPG to start but truthfully I haven't really used them much. My son was born 3 months before I bought the truck and have had a hard time finding time to go as much as I would like. Hopefully one winter is over I can get out more.
Enjoy your truck and the choices you have made for yourself. It's a beast!!!
