I've figured that I should keep the XREAS until I have the extra cash to spend on new suspension and get a few more thousand miles out of it first, then I'll upgrade both suspension and legit sliders I think? It's between the RGS and MetalTechs right now.

I personally went with the LE OPOR sliders sold on MetalTech and referenced above. At the time, I had kept my XREAS; however, I'm likely going to do the TE rocker panel mod and remove the 3" of LE body skirts and get a regular set of sliders so I have even more ground clearance.

Like I said above, I think I'm going to do exactly what you're doing. I'll keep the XREAS for now and get a few more thousand miles out of it and purchase some MetalTechs, then down the road upgrade suspension and switch to legitimate sliders with the TE trim mod. The front of the LE hangs a bit lower doesn't it have some extra plastics in front that need to be removed as well? How's the door protection on the MetalTechs from your experience?

Install went really slick, hardest part was getting the bolts in the bracket in the front lined up. Trick is to do those first.
Overall very happy with them. Drove today in some salty crap and you could hear it 'tinging' off the metal bars.

The N-Fabs look fantastic for sure. I personally like the larger 3" tube from Rough Country, but both are super solid.
